' For <:od who sC'nclcth Only lcndcth."

To wish you a Happy Xc•w Yrar and rrally ~nc•a11 it , i.., about all mH• C'an do aftrr all, isn't 1 t '> "\' J I · <1t1 <'all Pac a ho!'::;<' to \\'atrr but you <'a11't rnakc• hint drink." ,\ <'Pl'tain spPakc•r <>11C·c• told how lw Oll('C' aclcln•ssc•d an audic'rH·e i11 whiC'h tlwn• was a C'<'rtain nia11 who was k11own to IH' cl!'f PrnrinPd 11ot to IH' so hilarious as to srnilc• 011 a11y occ·asion.

To hr happy is not to be possessor of an ahund:uiec· of this world's goods; on the other hand it dc)('s not mran that one needs to de­prive onr's sc•lf of it. In truth, to find happi­nrss w<' must srek it in the simple clement;; of lif P even as Huskin says:

"To watch t IH' corn grow, or the blossoms R<'t; to cl raw hard !Jrrath ovrr ploughshare or spac!P; to read, to think, to love, to pray­tlwsc m·c· thP things that make mrn happy." AJHI these' things arc within the reach of the rich, ihP poor, t lw low, and the hi!!;h.

It i:-; not a sdfislt cksirr at all to desire to be truly happy and make• c•xprrsRion of that hap­pirwss, for tit<' happy disposition of one per­ROil bc•c·onH's 111(' rra:;on for happiness of anot hc•r.

But if you want to do sorndhing worth while, rPmcmber:-

"It is <'as)' to srnilc \\'hc•11 ]if<' i.., like a ::;ong, But the lllall 11·orth while b tlw nwn with aHlllilc \\'hc·n c·n·rything goes ckad wrong."

top was at the Gulf Tank, the altitude here being five thousand, six hundred thirty-eight feet. The view here was wonderful. One could imagine hinrnclf suspended in the clouds as he looked backward upon the many moun­tains.

\\'hen we reached the top, the thermometer regi,.,tcrecl forty-fi vc degrees. The tcmpcra­turr, when we left the base station, was ninety drgrrrH. As we had half an hour'. , top, we had a light lunch and some hot coffee before aclrniri ng the scrnery from here. The top of :Mount Washington is coverc'd with huge gran­ite' rocks. The virw line lwrr swerps around a C'ircurnfrreucr of nearly one thousand miles, including parts of five state's and the Province of Quebec.

On thr return trip, which was the most in­t<'rcsting, there wcrr four trains. The two that wc•nt up in the morning, rC'maining until tlw afternoon trains arrived, then all went down one after the other. Cioing down, the c'n~i nc an cl car arc not shackl<'d until about tlw last mile, thi: IJ<'ing clone a" a precautionary rncasurr. Thr sprNl is somewhat faster com­ing down. WP. enjoyed thr trip immensely but would not ear<' to take it again.

8<Hll<' mouths lal<'r however, we read an ac­cotmt of an a('('iclrnt on a cog-railway in , outh AnH'riea, in which several lives were lost. This shows that a trip of this sort is rather dangcr­m1s and might end in a real disastrr.

Th<' railroad company claims that in fifty yC'ars of ope' rating this railroad, there has never l>C'Cll an acciclc11t.
