MICKIE SAYS
“Deeds Not Words”
It's easy to talk big, eaisy to make big prom-
ises, but remember it's deeds, not words, that
count. I have studied the eye sight and passed a
successful examination to practice as a doctor of
Optometry.
Correcting the eyesight, such as cross eyes, re-
lieving nervous headache caused by eye strain, is
not an experiment with me, by the use of special
new high grade lens. I don’t exchange or deal in
second hand material.
If you have eye sight trouble let me prove to you
that I can correct your vision. If you are not per-
fectly satisfied your money back.

CHRISTMAS—This wonderful old world has been spinning along for
a good many thousands of years and it will be as green next Spring as
it was on that first May morning when Cain and Abel frolicked on the
green of Paradise.
Lovers are sighing now in Texas just as they did in the Athens of Per-
icles. The wonder is, not that Helen of Troy's red lips are dust but that
lips are just as red in the Twentieth Century as in the first. The strik-
ing thing about all this life the sun breeds upon the surface of this
planet is not that it goes out but that it comes back again. The oak tree
thrusts out its tender leaves this year as innumerable oak trees have
done all down the calendars of time, since time began. It is one of an
endless procession. As Christmas comes and the year draws to a close,
thoughts of Death come, but the thoughts of men are set upon Life.
Great Nature has implanted in them the thirst for life. Life is her mani-
fest purpose, she has crowded the seas with living creatures, she has
filled the air and trs with the noise of wings, she has peopled the earth
with men; even the microscope reveals to us the appalling exhuber-
ance of life. A teaspoonful of liquid may contain as many microbes as
there are human beings upon the face of the earth. Our eyes may be
multiplied thousands of times through the eyes of the microscope. If
we have made mistakes’let us correct them. What done’s done. It’s
down in the bottomless pit of the past. Let it be. You can make some-
pregnant with beauty, radiant with power, bulging with all conceiv-
able possibilities. Turn to it. “Forgetting the things that are behind
and reckoning forth to those things which are before,” is the way one
of the greatest souls of the earth described his attitude. For the past
is death, the future is life.
Forget the past, boy I You brought tears to the eyes of her who bore
you, anguish and care to your Mother, than whom in Heaven or Earth
has greater Love. But she will think of it no more if you will only come
back, put your face upon her blessed knees and let her love enfold you.
Her’s is oblivious, wildest, deepest sea, and every offense will be
drowned in t..
Forget the past, man! Take her back into your arins. What is love
worth that cannot forgive? What is love worth that is not mightier
than pride? In the streets of Heaven you will never blush to think
you have, forgiven too much.
Forget the past, wife! I know ti means heart-aches and humiliation
and dry-lipped care! But climb up. Climb up the steps of grandeur
'till you reach the stage of that love that beareth all things, believeth
all hings, hopeth all things, endureth all things and never Faileth.
Once in that mountain air of nobleness, you will not regret the troubled
valleys of pride.
Forget the past. Everybody! Every unrolling sun brings a new chance
to all the sons and daughters of men. Every swelling moon means a
new month of opportunity. "Evrey starof the innumerable stars, sand-
strewn on the dusky blue of night, is a Star of Hope.
rry Christmas. -
We.wiah one and all a Happy, Healthy, Merry
