Deeper and Deeper.

There is only one way out of dishonesty,
and that is to tell the truth The process
OF lying out oft" so called, is only u sure
way of getting more deeply mired. This is
well illustrated by the following story:
A man of doubtful reputation was on his
way home one night and came across n pile
Of planks which for some reason had been
unloaded upon the roadside. He couldn't,
or thought he couldn't, resist the tcmpta-
tion to steal one of them.
He could not go through the village with
1t and SO took cut across the fields. By
and by in the gathering dusk he wandered
into boghole and sank in the mire. The
more he struggled the deeper he sank, I'm
TIL, getting alarmed, he cried Justify for
help.
His shouts brought neghbor with a
lantern.
Why, Jones, what does this mean?"
asked the good Samaritan. "How in the
world came you hcre2"
II was in n hurry to get home" said the
thief, land so cut across Then got into
this bog. The more tried to pull myself
out, the deeper got in, and finally went
back to the road and got this plank to see if
! couldn't get myself out with that."-
