All HONEST MAN.

An honest. man will not buy
what he knows he cannot pa,
for; he will not borrow none,
when he can see no way to pay i
back; if he cannot meet an oblig'
alton he will come forward in {
manly way and tell his creditor
the whole truth; he will not hide
out when pay day comes, but
will face the world and say:
q cannot meet it, but give me
time and l will; l will not run
away from my debts" Such a
man as that can always get
credit, be he ever so poor.
The business world is begin
ming to place more confidence
in good moral security than in
the best of real estate and money
collateral. This puts a premium
on hon cstly. A mans money
may slip through his fingers,
but it he be willing to pay
what lie owes, some day
Gods bounteous hand will be
held out to him, and he will not
only be willing, but ready. After
all, there is much truth in the
old saying about honesty being
the best policy, and in Pope's
famous line:
"An honest mans the noblest work of
Cod"
Let's be honest; we can't afford
to be OF lerwise. God intended
that we be honest and true.
