without the least Investigation. Friends,
is this right Is it IN accordance with
that Christian charity that .thinketh no
evil that sreioiceth not in inlquity !
How much better TO refuse TO give Gre
dence TO a rumor or TO repeat II, until
assured by careful inquiry that II IS Wen
founded Certainly no less than this IS
required of all if friction and misunder-
standing are to be avoided. Ones atti-
tude in a certain matter may be entirely
misrepresented by another either lnten-
t~ionally or otherwi se-this often happens.
Are we to believe all that this second party
SAYS about the first while nde the
influence perhaps OF passion or prejudice
and repeat il as a fact to others Either
ignore the matter altogether or else 60
directly TO the person about whom the
statements are made and inquire just how
far they are true. Anyone Will welcome
such an inquiry and give the facts as they
are.
sFinally, the fraternal spirit should be
manifested when we get together Tor the
transaction of public business. As a
community we have institutions 70 care
for, interests to promote, plans to make
and execute. In these matters II isn't 10
be expected that we shall all agree per-
fectlv on every point at issue, and II IS
probably not desirable that we should
MANY men are often of many minds. In
what spirit, then, should all such matters
be approached? Shall one be absolutely
sure that he is entirely right and that all
who differ from him are entirely wrong !
Shall he refuse to admit that there IS any
other side to the question than his side !
Shall he by word or deed or manner show
a selfish, vindictiye spirit To do any oil
these things is, to say the least, to be un-
charitable and unbrotherly.
As a community we have comnoh
interests. They Gamble promoted only as
we all stand together and work together.
We may differ in our judgments and
opinions as much as we ike. But we
need to remember that there are two sides
to every questions that others may pos.
sibly be as nearly right as we arei that at
least thew have a right to their own
opinion; that possibly we n not they
nav be the victims of prejudice, and that,
after all, the majority must rule. Some
effort to look at a matter from another
standpoint, some respect for another :
Judgment, a large confidence IN those
who claim to be acting conscientlously, q
large amount of patience and forDearance
there must be il we are to dwell and WORK
together in unity.
sThe fact is it is a great deal more I'M
portant that a good work go forward than
that my net scheme be followed or my
%opinion prevail. The public-spirited,
generous men will always withdraw MS
~opinion rather than aust needless division
or block the wheels Of progress.
sMay we never fail to be controlled ~
our thoughts, words, outward bearing and
deeds bv the fraternRl spirit. Then We
can march shoulder to shoulder in the
promotion OF every good cause.

az roses and wild flowers, and during
the afternoon recess they and the teachers
came down to extend their best wishes.
To see the 200 children thus, Mr.. ennoc

Pennock most was from a little chlld'
who asked her mother for money 70 puA

Mr.. Pennoek will preserve the GIT al

"Home. Sweet HOME" and other selections
and gave declarations. tie received

q fine china bread and milk set to remind
him Of his youthfulness.

And with my rheumatic twinges,
Sleeping on q pile Of brush
In a tent amt Just conductive
To an awful sight Of gush.
No, you don't get me on camping,
Or 20 leave my decent home,

EoIker Eraspod the step bis right knee
came in contact with the covering of the
ground wire
Spectators say that Volker's body at
once became rigid and that blue flames
shot out from where the hand and knee
touched. Only a second or two did he
remain in this position. and then the
wind lessened, and as it did so the wire
dropped away from the iron step and the
circuit was broken. As the metal strand
left the po1e VoIker's fingers relaxed
their hold. and plurging backward from
