There is a Vast Distinction
Between an injury and an injustice. In
Justice is that specific kind of injury which
robs another of his rights. If. by way OF
illustration a little boy has been playing
by the water and has dropped his coat in
and he asks a larger boy to go In after 1t
and is refused he is not unjustly treated.
for he has no right TO make the request
If the larger boy had dropped the little
boys coat in the water 1t would have been
both an injury and injustice and demand
should be made upon him.
There is a great variety of rights belonR-
ing to individuals and as many ways IN
which they may be violated, and SO 1t Is
necessary for each of to cultivate
strong sense of justice IN our heart, max
ing II settled principle. This will prepare
for the particular circumstances whlch Will
call for the action of justice.
The smaller or weaker are usually sup!ect
to some stronger ones power and unless
they fall into the hands of the just, they
are continually being encroached upon.
The spirit of justice should be cultivated
in the young. The right of small play
mate or brother should be honored.
boy was once sent by his father to
carry heavy basket to another house In
order that he might help the little brother
was to accompany him. They put poie
under the handle of the basket. and then
they took hold of the pole. one at each END.
While they were getting II ready the elder
boy said to himself: My little brother
don't understand about placing the pore. II
the handle of the basket comes just across
the middle of 1t It will then be just as
heavy for him as for me; If l slip the bas-
ket over nearer TO him his end will be heavy
and mine Will be light But his sense OF
Justice would not allow him thus to take
advantage of the younger brother and he
slIpped the basket nearer his own end OF
tie pole. and so carried the heavier load
If we carry the heavier load we are more
likely to be just.
Give the absent accused chance to vim
dictate themselves The man may be ever
so guilty; he Will appear less after he has
been given chance TO speak for himself.
Justice should be the constant companion
of thought, word and deed.
We Were Born
Into the world to be happy. 1t is the nor
NAL condition of man and one which should
be INDUCED in more. Those who constantly
allow themselves to be held under the
power Of certain fobia are committing men
tai suicide.
We may cultivate the habit of happiness
quite as readily that Of depression and
discomfort, and have a possession that is
valuable TO ourselves and others. That man
is weak who allows his habit of thought
to make him unhappy. We can crowd out
the bad and crowd in the good.
When love, and hence freedom from
fear" becomes our motto, we shall have all
that can be- and it will be good and not
evil. Harmony is the most favorable con-
dition TO growth. and growth is necessary

highest ideals and is that from which all
accomplishment evolves. The easiest meth

sorrow Is real poverty, while riches are
born of hope and joy.
The Boarding House
Is a place where one may seize the oppor-
tunity to bring into action all the desirable
qualities of character.
There one is dealing with m;ely natures,
simple and complex. There is association
with the laudlady, the servants, the guests
in ones room. in the dining room, on the
piazzas and In the reception rooms.
The guest at a boarding house who has
the tact and culture to maintain perfect
poise at all times and in all places and dur
ing all conditions of the environment has
put the supreme test upon self-control.
The attitude that is to be sustained at
the boarding house during the stay should
begin the first day, and while in degree 1t

The relations with your landlady should
be genial, always courteous, but seldom. If
ever should they be cultivated on social
