/ think u ), true that most Of Us havC
two-fold na,urr, and that we often
surprise our friends by sudden show
Ing 1T the dark moon side OF IT, The
two sided life lived by many men, saint
aud sinner, as depicted so often In the
daily newspapers, gives further evil

narrow the former life Is, tbe greater

listers Of the gospel are 30 narrow
mi#dcd that they see harm ia every
thing. a minister, Of all men, should
be broad. minded, many-sidcd man,
ready To SEQ good In the things That are

pledge. hryyovcr. does not release NE from
as subsequent obligations, which arv tocou
time for all TIM % come.
You would imagine this would meel
with the endorsement Of everybody,
but il remained for q preacher in one
Of the churches 10 Springfield to de.
n0uncg the Society rs a peraicious
Thing, and recommend that the good
sister. join the Church instead. re-
greet to say that have not found that
being Church member was a sure
remedy for preventing scandal, for often
yuu iind the good brethren ~ jealous
in spreading = scandal NJ IN spreading
the gospel Of brotherhood in Christ
But some preachers mus, have vent
for their nairuwncss, and possibly this

zines full of good reading matter Of all
kinds have been put 10 circulation, aud |
have no doubt they have been very |
much 81 jaycd aud served TO while away \
q winter evening. Then 10 town We
have bad our circulating library with
It's fund Of good books, which have been
eagerly read. This Is the fifth library
We have had, and am certain we will
continue In the good work, The price 4
Of the library has been reduced from
81 80 To 400. While Carnegie Is
establishing free libraries throughout
the country, there IL always demand
made 10 the town for the support Of
the library, and only large town
could afford TO do this, Cntll we grow
big enough TO take advantage Of such
offers, We will have to be content to
enjoy the free library on small scale.
