C.. L. p. Concurs With M. n.

I agree with M. H., that it is
wrong to forever condemn one
who has made a mistake-hOw-
ever great. One who has made
a mistake should be given vel
come by society if he or she en-
deavors thereafter to lead an
upright life. Society is sup
posed to uphold moral goodness,
and an error does not justify
society in forever condemning
one who has gone astray. when
that person has endeavored to
become clean and pure again. If
one who has sinned re penis and
is trying to be good and pure-is
really trying-then society is un-
tit, not the person who has
sinned. M. H., should be gov
erned by the truth that goodness
is its own reward and, M. H., if
society refuses your efforts to be
good, then you are better than
society. But if your efforts are
in good faith, if your motives are
not pure, then you should not
complain. Society, often means
worldly pleasure. Worldly pleas
ure will never lead anyone to be
good and true. Those persons
who try to be good, intelligent
and helpful to others are the bull
warks OF society, though they
may never be called society peo-
pie. The scoril of others is often
40 more than spite and spite m y
murder but never execute any
one. 1t is not worth while 20
throw up your hands for spite.
Defend yourself with purify of
purpose. Be upright because
that is greater than society,
worldly pleasure or any other
makeshifJ of these days.-C.L.P.
