That Old Liar.

"When an editor makes mistake
in his paper all the world sees it and
calls him a liar. When a private
citizen makes mistake nobody
knows it but few friends, and they
come around and ask the editor to
keep it out of the paper. When the
private citizen dies, the editor is
asked to write of all his good quail
ties and leave out the bad. When
the editor dies the private citizen
says Now that Old liar will get his
deserts "-Cincinnata Post.

the Japanese government which prohib-
its religious teaching in the schools Of

from its position or the missionary boards
Of America and Europe must abandon
their educational work in that country.
