Set out to make somebody else happy and happiness will come to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over. If you know of anyone In distress, give them the helping hand and realize some tiling of that divine joy that Christ came to give the world. 0 A Small Paper Next Week THE NEWS will get out a paper next week but it will not b* as large as usual. Our correspon dents arc requested not send in any letters next week, but will expect them the first week in the New Year as usuaL 0 Looking Ahead THE Industrial Index, one of the best Industrial pa pers published, and whose editor is a close observer, predicts a much better year, for all lines of business in 19*22 than wv have had during the past year. Read the following encouraging words from this Journal: “A year ago we approached the new year in a state of doubt, uncertainty and demoralization. Business was on the toboggan, and the end of the incline was not yet in sight. Nobody knew what to expect of the new year, but ver.vi few were optimistic. The* best judgment was that it would lie some mouths* piobably not irtitil the next crop cqfne in -before the business depression would run its course and recovery would begin. Today, a year later, we face the future quite differ ently. The worst is behind us, not in front of us. “The bad year” is now history and recovery is sub stantially in evidence. We know that 19*22 will be marked by continued improvement, and not retro gression, in the business world. Business has done its petulance and now, with sobered brain and more conservative thought, and with greater appreciation of the eternal verities of the commercial world among which truth, honor and Industry stand foremost is preparing to travel the road to prosperity once more by safe, sure stages; the atr-sliip route has been abandoned, for. while swift anil spectacular, it is by no -fncans safe. In truth we do not approach the new year in a state of jubilation for tlie experience of business this year bus not been such ns to bring about supreme exal tation of spirit; hut we do it with cleared brain, with much better perspective, with gratitude for the fact that tlie worst of the depression is over and with confident belief that the business journey next year will be constantly upward, even if the grade for the first! few months of the year lie conservative. Everything Has Its Price. ONK of the laws of the universe is that everything has its price. Our failure to realize the immutahilitv of tills law brings disaster up on us. The short sighted and ignorant think that when they steal or rob or kill and escape human detection that they es cape the vengeance of the law. Not so. If this were a world in which wrong could he done and go unpun ished, it would not be governed by a just and wise God. The hairs of our head are numbered and not a sparrow falls to the ground without God’s notice. Not an act of love or mercy is ever done without its reward, and not an act or injustice or wrong is ever committed without punishment being meted out to the wrongdoer. The Athens Daily News, in discussing the get-away of the criminal that stole a $2,500 diamond ring in Atlanta recently and killed a detective and seriously wounded another man. has sensed this divine law that runs through the universe. It says: “Having snuffl'd out a life for the pitiful sum of $2,500, the Atlanta robber has seemingly made his get-away. But today, he knows, as he never realized before, that the brand of Cain is upon him. Today he realizes with a realization that carries its own punishment, that every man’s hand is against him. Today, he lias already begun to learn what it is to be a hunted criminal. “Whether in some city attempting to hide his iden t ty among the thousands or in the solitude of some country place, he is watching, watching, watching for the grim visage of the Law. Tomorrow —the next day—and throughout all of the tomorrows that stretch out before him, it will be the same. Wherever he goes—no matter how long he evades the avenging baud that he knows will pursue him to the far hounds of the seven seas—to the far reaches of the world's most desolate stretches, even after his crime has been forgotten—after officers of the law have quit his trail for good and all, he will still be pursued by a still ruthb'ss avenger. “Fear will never again leave his side. Never will he lie down to sleep without it for a companion Never will he walk either the crowded thoroughfare or the lonely trail without Fear as his companion. Never will a hand, however friendly, be laid upon his shoulder without Fear clutching his heart in an icy % grasps” O We have been expecting a Christinas present from Bro. Townsend, of Dahlonega, that will be appropri ate for the occasion, but as yet have not heard from him. We hope he Is still sober and sitting steady in the boat.
