CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS

Much is heard nowadays about
civic Righteousness. If it is to be
realized, it must have its initiative
in the churches and be exemplified in
the lives of those who profess to be
followers of the lowly Nazerine. The
eager pursuit of riches, the shameless
display of wealth, the gross and cor
rupting misuse of swollen fortunes
acquired by questionable practices. the
Indifference to law, the growth of
graft, the abuse of corporate power, the
spread of demagogy. the advance of
socialism and the appeal to bitter class
hatred, il not confined to the world
alone. 1t is a matter of vital import
ance to our country and every patriotic
citizen should awaken to action before
it is too late and the present social,
economic and financial unrest has gone
80 far as to menace the stability and
perpetuity of our republic. The OPP
pressive use of financial power on one
hand and class agitation on the other
must be stopped and eli thinking men
who have the best interests of the coun-
try at heart must band together to
stem the tide of disquletude, lawless-
ness under forms of law now sw eeping
over the country and change the con-
ditions which make for evil. The
churches can bring about the reforma-
ton, if the members will exhibit in
their business and daily life the spirit
IF the Golden Rule. 1t should be the
center for reformative measures in
the future and stand for the best in
the social, moral and spiritual life.

Meaninns of pYke.

"Dyke" has even more divergent
meanings than ditch in Lincolnshire
and bank in Holland. In Scotland 1t
means a low wall or fence Of turf or
unmOrtared stones and I'm some parts
of northern England a dyke is a
hedge. Yet there are other northern
districts where it is a pond. Originally
in English at any rate. dyke" or
dixie and ditch" both meant what
ditch still means to us. but as the dig
glng out Of a ditch necessarily involves
the raising of a mound with the dug
ont earth, the words came to signify
ditch and mound together, and eventu-
ally, in some cases. the mound alone.
An even more curious instance Of a
word that has developed a sense ap-
parently quite opposed to its original
one IS that Of down a hill" "Of
dune" the Anglo-Saxon for "from the
down. or hill" became "adown." and
this was contracted into our modern
adverb down." which certainly has
no hilly sense now.-London Chronicle

The phrase going to the dogs" has
puzzled the explainers of metaphorlcal
expressions rather needlessly. It has
even been suggested that It is a pro-
fame perversion Of "golng 10 the gods"
and an allusion has been detected to
"canis," the dog throw, the worst
throw with the dice among the ancient
Romans. Shakespeare's Throw physic
to the dogs and the Scriptural "Give
not that which is holy unto the dogs"
have been quoted in connection with
the expression. But 1t seems a fairly
obvious reference TO the fate of the
wornout horse, condemned to be
slaughtered The old Greek curse, Go

ferring as it did to the Greeks horror
