WHEN A LIE IS NOT A LIE.

When is a lie n 1t a lie? Another
exchange answers the question
thus:
When you kiss the bruised flesh
of a baby's finger and tell him it
will hurt no more. When you tell
the dear sick, looking with eager
eyes toward the shore of health,
how bright they look and how they
improve every day. When the
doctor with happy smiles assures
the patient that he is on the
"mend" and will soon be ont.
When the captain on the wide
waste of sea with a sinking ship
calms the frantic fear until he can
launch the boats. When the boy
of the cross roads in New Jersey,
who was asked by tue red coaus
which way Washington went,
pointed in the opposite direction.
When the genius of the world
weaves fiction that enriches all
mankind and leads them to the
highway of eternal light. Indeed,
the line between truth has puzzled
mighty men for ages.
