I claim that right in a body holding
false ideas as truth should reforma-

wrong views and laws.
You do not think our present govern

speech and word and pen you will try
to make people understand they are not
right and il would be a tyrannical ruler
and senate who would convict you of
heresy to this government, and brand
you as a traitor and ship you out of
the country, and neither should any
church have the right to make beliefs
and creeds governed by ironclad rules
that are Invaluable and must not be
spoken against. There is nothing in
falliable in this world, and nothing but
what could be made better. Unless IL
is the single strange great spiritual in
telligence which is above all and back
of first cause or force. And the crea-
lions which have evolved from this
force have not been good at first sight,
nor are they yet. They carry perfection
and imperfection, death and life. misery
and happiness, disaster and peace, and
on equal basis, and will forever.
The past only made shrewd gueSses.
The present finds truths. but yet in an
imperfect state. The future will dis
cover more and grade them more in
diligently, but to what extent that
learning will reach who can say or even
guess. There is one thing. it will quit
guessing in the very near future over
what it cannot demonstrate by the
special sense, and what will leave
IL more time to take care of what it
already does know.

There is harmony in everything around

Concerning Hope"
DEAR HOWARD FRIENDS While

Howard, excuse me for being so be-

more. l don't know hardly what to
write upon, but believe Will take hope
as basis for my letter. Let US get the
definition of hope. Webster says that
hope is "a desire of some good. with at
least a slight belief that it is attainable
that which gives hope or furnishes
ground of expectation" 1t is natural
for us to indulge in the illusions of hope
How often do we shut our ears against
the truth and listen to the song of hope
until she turns truth into error.
What enjoyment would there be i'll
life if we did not hope for a second COM
ing of Christ? If we had no hope be-
yOnd the grave we would be of all
creatures the most miserable. Suppose
that we thought that after death that

fields; would not life be a burden? But

When our friends are lying very low

not hope for their recovery or if their
life must pass away, if we did not hope
for a better life beyond the grave for
them, would not our mind almost de-
sert us?
When some of our friends pass away
and they say, 81 have no hope Of a hap

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
How Many OF Us Begin Things md
Never Finish Them.

Never Finish Them.
H. L. C. FRIENDS-As it has been
some time since 1 visited you other than
in poetical form, l will try and give a
few stray thoughts.
How many of us begin things and
leave them unfinished? We should never
do this. as it exerts a bad influence in
the formation of our character. 1t makes
us tickle. We never have our mind set
tied as to what we want to do. No one
will put confidence in us or trust us.
They never know whether we will finish
what we have begun or not. Such
girl take for example. Her drawers are
filled with unfinished compositions. Let
ter after letter has been begun. but not
one completed. Bits of lace and fancy
work begun and laid aside. thinking 1
will finish this at my leisure. That
leisure never comes. One thing after
another is begun and laid aside until
she does not know how to begin to finish.
Consequently these things are never fin
ished. But ii is not only the girl, but
the boy also. He works at first one
thing and then another. He wants to
play ball, stops before the game is fin
ished: wants to go to school and quits
before his education is complete. This
all shows the lack of energy and perse-
verance to finish what is begun. Every
one must persist in what they undertake
or they will never succeed.
Never waste time in frivolous pursuits.
You may chase them all your life and
they will end without benefiting you.
Never be willing to begin anything un-
less you know you will complete 1T.
Never indulge in the habit of beginning
things that you are assured you will not
finish. If you do the habit will grow
upon you. When you have begun you
must persevere. There is no excellence
gained without labor. You must gain
cofidence in yourself If you would over
come and conquer difficulties. Persevere
and perseverance will become easy.
Finish everything you begin and ii will
become easy. Never give up and say L
cannot. If you do you will go down.
