pOSltlonS OI responsibility but we I
are short of people who have the |
requisite character. 1t is not
greater brain development that
we need, but greater heart de-
velopment. 1t is ss..important
and as necessary to instruct in
the rudiments OF character as to
instruct in reading. We feel that
entirely too little time is given by
the school and even the church
to this most importan. ~. ,ect
1t is assumed by many parents
that their children;willi never lie
or steal. and so they do not think
it worth while to instruct them
along these lines.O Day school
and Sunday school teachers I'M
agine that the race has advanced
so far that all they need to do is
to hold up glorious ideals of life
and conduct and so they do not
give the the definite instruction
needed. The truth.is'every child
should have plain and practical
instruction as to the sin of lying,
the sin ofastealing, the sin OF
cheating and the sinIof deforming
another's character. These sins
lie at the base of all wrong
doing and we should teach the
children to shun them as they
would a deadly serpent 1t not
sufficient to teach children to love
honesty, etc. There are things
to hate as well as Ito love 1t is
criminal to set youth adritt with
no clear conceptions of the ter
rible results that follow in the
wake of these so-called common
sins. 1t should be impressed
upon the mind of every child
that it is wicked to take anything,
however small, belonging to
another, and that lying, swearing,
and obscene talk will surely leave
their mark upon everyone guilty
of indulging in these vices.
Children Judge of the gravity
of an offense by the effect which
it has on their elders. If we
smile and overlook real offenses
they think that it doesn', amount
to much and soon grow careless
concerning it. To illustrate, we
have never been in a town where
the shopkeepers did not lose a
considerable amount every year
through the petty thefts OF
the young people. We under,
stand that Paonia is not exempt
from this evil. Perhaps the
amount taken by any one oi
these young shoplifters is not
large, but the results which surely
follow the formation of such a
habit are terrible to contemplate.
Many times the merchant catches
the thief, but knowing the sensi-
tiveness of parents, lets the matter
pass with reprimand. Parents
are foolish on this point. 1t is not
necessarily reflection on paren-
tai training. Any child is liable to
go wrong and we should be CRATE
full indeed, to anyone assisting to
correct the evil habit. Let US have
in all our homes and school-rooms
: a little more good. straight, old,
fashioned talk on the great funda'
mental principles that underlie all
good character.

LUTHERANS WANT
A CLOSER UNION

At the morning session of the Con
cordia district of the Lutheran Church.
which is holding its annual meeting in
this city at the Grace Lutheran Church,
the principal subject under discussion
was the Toledo theses, which calls for
closer union between the Ohio and Iowa
SynOds OF the Lutheran Church The
theses were adopted unanimously.
1t was held by the synod that there
Is nothing in the relations Of the Har-
msnsburg Missionary Society TO the
Church Of Hanover THAI should prevent
cooperation on the part OF the Ohio
Synod. The Lutherans not having a
missionary department OF its own have
supported this society
1t Is probable that the office of
superintendent of missions will be estab-
lished, but owing to the difficulty OF
defining the scope of such an office the
synod resolved the question back to the
mission board.
The claims Of the superannuated pas-
tors were discussed and A board was
appointed TO consist Of two pastors two
teachers, and two members Of the IaItv
to further investigate the subject The
fund out Of which this support will be
derived VIII come from the pastors and
the laity, the pastors to pay / per cent
Of their salaries and the congregations
70 take up an annual Offering
The Rev. o. c. Mells, Of Baltimore.

COTTON MARKET HIGHER;

absorbed by commission houses. so that
by 1918 the market here had recovered
its early loss and was quite steady. At
