BY AND BY THERE WILL BE LESS sHIRK-
 ING OF MORAL RESPONSIBILITY.
 Public conscience Is the expression of private conviction and personal opinion. The moral sense of the community is what the people make it. If personal conviction concerning these questions of right and wrong is weak, the public con- science will be feeble. If the individual moral sense is strong and active, public conviction and opinion will be powerful. And yet there may be more moral stami- na in community than appears on the surface. There are times and seasons in the moral life of suciety, as in the nat ural world. How quickly the trees spring into leaf when the time comes They have been getting ready even dur ing the cold and disagreeable days of March. By and by when the frost has disappeared and the warm breath ot spring prevails, slumbering nature will awake with power, and be clothed with beauty and majesty. By and by the pri- vate, personal convictions of the people will bud, put forth leaves, blossom and bear fruit; and the public conscience will make a different moral atmosphere ir which to live and bring up children. By and by there will be less shirking of mor. al responsibility in public affairs, and people will not only speak out, but vii CO., operate with prevailing power fol good.-[O. o. Wright.

 The social season closed with the meet ing of the whist club with Mrs Charles Williams. The married people seem to have taken the lead in social gatherings and shown the younger people how they used to do it, and can yet, though the heads of many are silYered with age. It has been an opportunity for rejuvena- tion and has contributed much pleasure to those who are so apt to be so much under the influence of the stay-at-home feeling as to socially isolate themselves. While they all enjoy these opportunities yet they are glad Lent has come around agai1.
