Dead Files.

The power of honor and wisdom are
destroyed by little act of folly.
After long years of toll and success
men have belittled their worth by one
foolish act. The world has set them
aside for one sin. The world is hard on
the fallen. 1t is very exacting of the man
who has been up and has -carelessly let
himself down.
A mans folles are like the leaven
which leavens the whole lump. His fail
ures may be many, if his course is con-
sistent, but let him harbor sin, let him
take into his life an evil of the least con-
Germ. today, and it will grow, till it will
compel his downfall. Every sin that
man permits to come into his life carries
with it, as the dead fly carries with it into
the ointment, destroying influence. Sin
is so dangerous thatwe cannot have any
thing to do with it and be safe. Charac-
ter, like the fragrant ointment, must be
kept closed to the communicating influ-
ences of evil.
There is the dead fly of impure thought.
This is destructive to all who will harbor
it. GAS a man thinketh in his heart so is
he." Get into the innermost mind, learn
its thought and you have true index to
what man is. A true character think
eth no evil. He deals with impurities as
the physician deals with contagious dis
ease, or the druggist with poisons. He
in no way harbors them, nor treats them
as companions.
There is the dead fly of untruthfulness.
1t disintegrates character. Countenanced
by men, it eats out their strength of char
acter, and they soon are set aside as I'M
trustworthy.
Lying is heinous in the sight of God.
He who Carries with him a heart that
cannot falsify, carries with him what the
world ought to covet. Truth is COM
municated by those who would not add
to nor take away from it. Just now lying
is most dangerous sin, because it is one
of the arts to lie. The smoothest liar is
often sought, but for dishonest purposes.
Satan prompts the liar, and backs him in
all his lies. But God hates lying, and has
said that "he that maketh lie, shall not
enter the kingdom of heaven"
To be able to trust men to keep and
deliver the truth. gives to us here the
greatest confidence in our fellow men
The way Of all progress is through the
truth teller.
He who stats lie stops the course oil
truth and does damage to society and de
stroys his own influence. There is the
dead fly of rreverence. Men are irrever.
ent in this age. They pout out their lips
at high heaven. Thousands grow Ut
with no fear of God or man. Reckless.
ness is their chief characteristic. 1t is
not the mark of genuine manhood. II
carries with it nothing of weight, but de.
stroys the worth of him who practices it
A fragrant strong character must keep
out of it all that communicates.
A little folly outweighs wisdom and
honor. There is but one safe principle
prohibition from our lives of all that does
not conform to the law of God.
To be clean and pure and influential,
the character, like the fragrant ointment
must be inviolate.-t Extract from SER
mon by Rev. w. A. Major of Second
Presbyterian church, Seattle, and pub
liehed in the Washngtonian.)

If you haven't learned this lesson
yet it is time you had: Quit signing
fool petitions that do not concern you
in the least, and sign no petition, the
prayer OF which does not meet your
hearty approval. People are too easy
in signing petitions. Any old thing
goes with most folks. If your name
amounts to anything put it nowhere
except where it will d. some good.
If you place no value upon it don't be
sticking it under everybody's nose.

Some one has taken the pains to
eollate the labor troubles of Massa-
chusetts during the year 1901. 1t
shows that there were eighty-two
strikes. Forty-two of them made
wages the issue. Six were due to diff
ferences over the hours OF labor
Twelve were caused by difference over
both wages and hours OF work. Nine
were simply pathetic, while thir-
teen were owing to various other
causes. Fifteen of these eighty-two
were wholly successful. Twenty-Five
were settled by compromise. Thirty
three were failures. The remaining
twelve were pending when the report
was made.
