started out
Life must be a continual!lowering, ripening, and bear-
ing for the benefit of others than ourselves.
The leaves of autumn that once gave so much sweet
shelter, fall to the earth that they may continue to serve
by pressing their dying substahce deep into the earth again
that they may in turn enrich the roots of the trees that
onee gave them life.
All time is the turning over of the choice materials that
march through it,. whether of the products of the earth, or
just human beings, rising and falling as the pages of his-
tory are turned year by year.
Appreciation precedes love. We must aprpeciate life
before we can love it. But as we come to love it and all
that it offers for the working our of our ability and ideals,
• we pass into higher and consecrated ground. John Drink-
water has beautifully expressed the idea:
Suppose that you were in China or
India and took Sick and maybe money
was none ot plentiful and then along
would come a native from that
and say:

New Years Greeting to the Quill Club
•v
The lasting lesson of the Christmas season will always
be wound about the idea of love and service, and the ap-
preciation of these things in human action.
When Christmas domes we think of the One Who all,
the time thought of others. And that’s why His influence
has. spread throughout all the world and has dominated
every noble desire and inspired every beautiful act
To appreciate the lovely things that live in the human
heart is to flood beauty and sunshine everywhere where
character moves and has its being.
Our message at this Christmas time is one of apprecia-
tion for the loyalty lodged in our ideals by you with whom
we have worked throughout the year, and for your faith
in our plans and resolves.
A happy Christmas to you and our wishes for the best
and most useful New Year that you have ever faced.

When thi* reaches the public 1926
will have reached the last stages of
its existence and the year of 1927 will
be coming to the front.
Just what 1926 has wrought is well
known to each and every

secret.
This is as it should be,
well that we cannot see beyond thi
veil to asctrtaityifvhat it holds for us.
Just what will 1927 bring to Bren-
ham and Washington county—we ;

Probably no \eax^within the
decade promises more real things for >
Brenham than the year 1927. Pro-!
jects started during the year 1926 will
have their completion during the com-
ing year and with Providence giving'
us another good crop at remunerative'
prices we should be blessed with an
era of real prosperity.
