ABOUT PAYING DEBTS.

The Commonwealth has no moral
lecture to spin out to it's readers at
the beginning of this new century {;
but we venture to say "along this
line" that nothing will more com
pletely knock a man out in q com
mUnity than a known and deliberate
purpose to neglect the paying of his
just debts.
We recognize the fact that news
papers columns are looked to by
many for Requirement as much as for
instruction and advice, and we really
like to be ~serviceable to our readers
in this capacity but we would like
now and then to throw out a little
chnnk of good sense and honest
truth. And here is the truth, as we
believe it, if we ever spoke it or
wrote it: No man who willfully and
persistently neglects his honest debts
when he can pay them is entitled to
the confidence of other people. In
our boyhood days we heard it said of
a certain religious denomination in
our region that they would turn out
of the church any member who vii.
fully refused to pay his debts when
he could.
The good impression which the
statement made upon our mind,
whether true or untrue, has been
one of the influences that have held
the good people of the "Hardshell'
faith, as they were then called, high
in OUr esteem all these years.
And we believe that it would be a
good and just and safe rule of disci-
pine for any and all churches to
IDEAL" with members who are known
wilfully to deal unfairly with their
fellows. And a wilfuI neglect of an
honest debt when one can pay it we
regard as unfair dealing with any
one.
To be sure, there is nothing wrong
in getting in debt and sometimes
staying in debt but it is wrong to
neglect a debt when we could pay it.
Could not the preachers make some
helpful suggestions to their congre-
cations on this topic now and then?
But we may be venturing a little
so we'll stop now.-Scotland Neck
Commonwealth.

Christian Life Column,
THY BURDENS.

To every one on earth
God gives a burden to be carried
down
The road that lies between the cross
and crown.
No lot is wholly free;
He giveth one to thee.
Some carry it alOft,
Open and visible to any eyes,
And all may see it's form and weight
and size;
Some hide it in their breast,
And deem it thus unguessed.
Thy burden is Gods gift,
And it will make the bearer calm
and strong.
Yet, let it press too heavily and long,
He says: Coast it on me,
And it shall easy be-"
And those who heed his voice,
And seek to give it back in trustful
prayer,
Have quiet hearts that never can
despair;
And hope lights up the way
Upon the darkest day.
Marianne birmingham.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1901-04-02

An opportunity is nothing to the
man who is unready to use it. AS
tar it is likely to affect his welfare it
u3ght as well not exist. While he
Is trying to get ready, at the last
moment, to take advantage of it he
discovers that it has vanished out Of
sight. What makes the matter more
serious is the fact that it never re-
turns. Some other opportunity Of a
similar character may present ltsal'
but the lost one is lost fors>2I
There is no power on earth to bring
it back. This general truth is espe-
cially significant in as far as 1T con-
Germs the opportunities Of religion.
He who neglects to make his peace
with God while he can has no ground
for hoping that some strange magic
will hereafter reverse the fixed laws
of the moral universe, and enable
him to recover the chance which he
despised and trampled underfoot.
Life is probation. Probation deter
mines character. Character is des-
tinv.-Nashville Christian Advocate.
God grant that you may so con
uuer your temptations by the power
of God that they may not leave you
as you were, but fill you with the
consciousness of God, with the CON
seriousness of yourself, and with
deep sympathy with your brothers.
Phillips Brooks.
