e.. In. the heat of bassion Robert had
done something that he was ashamed
of and sorry for after the excitement
had passed away. II wish / hadn't
let my temper get away with my GOOD
sense,n he said "but it's done, and
what's done can't be undone."
but isn't there way to overcome
the effect of wrongdoing to great ex'
tent ?" asked voice in his heart.
"How ?" asked Robert.
"By owning to ones blame in the
matter" answered the voice. "Con-
Tossing ones fault does much to pet
wrong right. Try it." -.
Now Robert was very much like all
the rest of US; he hated to admit that
he was in fault. "Tm wrong; forgive
me-" is hard thing to say. But the
more he thought the. matter over the
more he felt that he ought to say just
that. "It's the right thing to do," he
told himself ;;"if know what's right,
and don't do it, Pm molal coward.
I'll do it,"
So he went to the one he had
wronged and confessed his fault frank
ly and the result was that the two
boys were better friends than before,
and his comrade had greater respect
for him because he had been brave
enough to do a disagreeable thing
when it was presented to him in the
light of duty.
My boys, remember that there's
quite as much bravery in doing right
for rights sake as there is In the per.
formance of grand and heroic deeds
that the world will hear about.

Daily FaithfUIness.

Let US day by day do all the good we
can. The apostle was intent on bene-
ficent action, and day by day he
sought strength for sucE action, and
looked for renewal through it. He
did not put his faith in the periodical
doing of great deeds, but in the faith
full pursuits of daily helpfulness. In
one of her letters Miss HaverRal
writes: "The bits Of wayside work
are very sweet. Perhaps the odd bits,
when all is done, will really come to
more than the seemingly greater
pieces chance conversations with
rich and poor, the seed sown in odd
five minutes, even the tables d'hote'
for me and the rides and friends
tables for you"
This doing of good in a small way at
every opportunity makes many rich.
Said the painter Of antiquity, "No day
without its line," and 80 one by one
his masterpieces came to perfection.
Let our motto be: "No day without
it's benehcent deeds, although that
day may be simple and obscure !" and
we too shall turn out masterpieces
which no mere artist can rival.
Let us live the life of daily faithful.
ness, and we shall rejoice as those who
find great spoil. The years shall only
purge our vision and show us more
glorious things; they shalt render the
ears more acute, that they may catch
wonderful whispers we now miss
they shall bow the, body to the earth,
but they shall give to the soul wings
and Growing mercies. When our
heart end flesh fail US, God shall be
"the strenth Of our heart and our por'
tion forever"

was on foot nobody can doubt.
1t is said that fifty-seven names Of employ

and endorsing action against the Press and
Banner.
or course we know nothing about how
many, If any at ALL were on the paper AS
yet no organized effort has been made against
this paper by th Seaboard.
We use the name of the Seaboard Air Line
adviseGly, for the simple reason that the cor

employees. especially as men holding hign
positions are said to be leaders In the move
ment.

He has the interests of the road at heart, and
