Making Resolutions, _We-suppose- that-th the t majority of those who have in their mind an ideal charatter, and who are endeavor- ing to attain to their own standard, are heroically attempting to carry out the good resolutions ey fram- ed during last December. when we haven't read upon this month we are iven to retrospection, and wisely so. Ve know fora certaintv whether our anticipations have been ie ‘lizd. What stronger armonr can We clothe 7 selves with th great dramatist “says ment draws. profit see.” ‘rhe humblest oohitse to have such a Judgment. How much more profit then should we derive from all things which we experience. we are to put the Miaine 6 ta peculiar cir- cumstanees. As New Yearapproaches our hopes are raised. Welong for op- portunities to exibit our strength. In our enthusiasm we attempt to control ciretimstances, e frame resolutions based upon our infallible knowledge of how other people are going to act, Well we oye every one wil succeed—we nev- ercould. The only one made last year, that “we resolve no more” was broken. We do not agree with the Pessim:sts who say, “Human nature is becoming more and more degenerated every year” but think rather that it arises from our own misconception of the influence which govern human nature. How many of us know ourre ves— now ex actly what we would do under particu- lar influences? Still many think them- selves capable of telling exactly what others would do. Herein is the difficulty. The snare or temptation is not pre sented tous just as_ we anticipated, hence we have to modulate our self-in- flicted reguiation, and ina few weeks or days our resolution becomes so mnt- tilated as to become unrecognizable. What are we to do then? The outward actions are only an index of inner man. Cease trying to govern the outward man by law, but let us rather get a hold on the sound moral and religious principles which underlie law, and ap- propriate them to ourselv és, making them by meditation and prayer a partof the inner man of eur being, thus. be- College Times.
