In the Jewish faith, the stately passage: "Hear, O, Israel, the Lord, cur God is one Lord: r.nd hou shalt love the Lord thy Cod with all thy soul and with all thy might," is hld in much the same reverence as the Lord's Prayer is in church worship of today. But the full effect of these words went beyond the walls of the synagogue. Jewish families have Ions been bound together with strong home ties and horro religious practices. These prac tices have had a profound influ ence. Many people may bemoan the fact that the younger genera tion does not follow in the foot steps of its elders but this is not a new complaint. It may bo portly true, but de cline and recurring revival of in terest in religion is not uncommor in the religious history of mr.n peoples. In many Christian homes the reading of the Bible and family prayers are common parts of the family life. But in all probability thc?e homes are not as numerous as they once were. In-many homes 4hcre is probably no religious ac tivity at all. It would be possible to view the future of our country much i:vc hopefully if the parents in every home would take the responsibility of teaching their children prin ciples of religion in the way the ancient Jews were told to do. Per haps in the second half of our present century we will see a new surge of interest in this neglected Held.

Your name must be signed to all articles Intended for publication, liowever, by request, it can be omitted from the letter apuearine in print. (Contents a not necessarlb' express the opin ions of this nawsDaDer.) Plattsmouth Journal: Now I am sending this little sentimental thought to you if you care to pass it on in your paper. I think it good to let others read it even though they never put it to use. "Happy New Year" to all your staff. We enjoy your paper and like to be of help in any way. New Year Greetings Tust pause for a moment's reflection on how much wiser it is to start the New Year with hope, preparing for better things than to look back with regret. s a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. It always has been so and always will be. So whatever you think you can do, begin it today. Jever say "I Can't." I know there is nothing worth while that may not be accom plished, if one is truly in earnest in desiring to "put it over." ITse what you have to the best advantage. Do not waste time wishing for the charm of possessions of another. Remember, no two snowf lakes are exactly alike. nd be satisfied with rour own "pasture' in life, i there is always someone envy ing you, your niche in the world. Jemember if you believe in the possibility of your de sires, it will put your mind into a creative, productive attitude that is sure to bring forth good fruit. "Y"ou will have a happier year if you will learn to love the small pleasures of life. Get some new ideas, you will find that a sense of newness prevades your When You .Think of SHOES Think of WOSTER'S X-RAY FITTING body and opens up a new world for you. The New Year is about upon us and I'm all ready with one resolution that in the year, 1953, I will not keep my house too clean! Sounds silly when others may resolve the opposite but I mean it. A house too clean, es pecially with children about, simply can't be a heme in my notion, and- if I don't strive to be too spotless; I'll have more time to spend with my family. Then, too, in years to come I'd rather have them remember Mom for her good apple pies and other goodies and for the time taken for walks and other amusements, than to remember how she scolded when they uackeu up the floor or left something out of place. After all Kids are human! So that explains a resolution I think good for every Mom. Hope I can honestly keep it. A Journal Reader.
