Rayvllie, 9Th District.-This community
was visited, on Thursday of last week, by one
of the most destructive hail storms known to
our oldest inhabitants. So complete was its
work that some of our old veterans of 81 said
the effect reminded them of Sheridans devasta-
ton of the Shenandoah Valley. Grain fields,
in many instances, were so thoroughly destroy
ed that farmers are blowing down what remains
and planting corn. The destruction of window
panes was so complete that our storekeepers
had their supply entirely exhausted. Much of
the fruit was knocked off the trees and what
remains seems badly bruised.

1.-THE Spirit of Truth. This was the sub
iect of the sermon preached by Rev. NJ. J.
Riordan, pastor of st. Charles Catholic
Church, Pikesville, last Sunday morning. In
part he said:
practical persons we are told, recognize
the necessity of white lies. which are con-
demned only by idealists, but the worlds best
thought is with the idealists, who are the safer
guide in morals.
mo lie is harmless. Every violation of
truth, be it ever so trivial, is not only stain
upon the soul of the liar, but a degradation OF
human testimony and a stab at the moral
health of society. What child has the same
reverence for his father after discovering that
his trusted parent has told white lie in order
to deceive him? Is it possible to lie, even in
Jest, without suffering loss Of self-respect and
a weakening of the instructive love of truth for
truths sake, which is the finest quality OF hu-
man nature and the essence of true nobility?
"a truthful man may sometimes be induced
to tell white lie, but never without expert
encing q qualm of conscience and loss Of
selfrespect. It is this attitude of dsapproval
and regret that distinguishes the truthful from
the untruthful person. To condoue lie post
factum may at times be proper and necessary,
| but is there anything more menaoing to mo-
! rality than to defend it ?"
