MY LIFE AND YOURS; By DIR.
~PARKHURST.

The Rev. DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst
preached a sermon on lying last sun
day morning at the Madison Square
Presbyterian hurch in New York city
and in the course OF it he said:
1T has to be conceded that we have
learned not to take falsehood too seri-
ously; that a lie need be only slightly
disguised to be almost as respectable as
truth; and that the combined influence
of habit and Of polite society has taught
us to forget that a white lie differs from
a black one only in not having the cour-
age Of its own depravity. a black Ito
being an enterprising falsehood. a whito
lie a sneaking one.
"A deporab1e illustration OF the gen
eral apathy upon the matter was af-
forded by the easy popular assent ac-
corded to the ignominious trcachcry
practiced upon the Philippine leader.

thought it rather a shrcwd trick on
Funston's part; and the Senate pro-
NOTED him. If it is replied that that Is

ments OF war; yes, perhaps SO. among
Christians. But it was a heather gen
eral. Alexander the Great, / think, who
said, The gods forbid that | should steal

In his final paragraph the Doctor
spoke for himself and said:

(Wife of Mayor-Elect Weaver Of Phila-

I am teased a good deal about my
views on mems clubs. I thing if men
who have home-loving wives with home
keeping hearts" could know how lonely
those waiting hearts are sometimes they
would give up clubs. l dc not blame men
for joining them when they have wives
who find an evening at home an awful
bore, n who are glad their husbands
are being entertained if they can be free
to go to card parties, opera or spend an
evening in gossip. I really think that
a large class Of women are not as serious
and home loving as their mothers were,
although they say that ever grandmothers
are out Of fashion.
MANY WOMEN OF THE MIDDLE
CLASS FOLLOW CLOSELY THE DO
INGs OF WOMEN WHO ARE IN so

WORKING CLASS PUT IN ALL THEIR
