ceitful in any business or profession. A
double life will sooner or later result in
a disgraceful and disastrous disclosure.
Neither can a man be pleasant and affable
in his business relations, fair and sociable
with all men and at the same time irritable
and unsociable with his family. This char
acteristic will sooner or later develop into
an irritability In his business relations, take
the love and life out OF his home. II is a
tendency that will be noticed by his chill
dren, who hope that all will be well after
q time, and the wife who trusts so i'm
plicitiy in the husband can only hope for
an adjustment OF all things through Gods
grace alone. The time must come when all
this artificial life must be unfolded. and
the man Is then shown to have been living
a double life.
"sin cannot be covered up. 1t may be con-
cealed for a time, but 1t will In time dis
close itself, and then follows the anguish
Of the trusting wife, and she too must lead
the double life to cover up the evil. Man
should in all things cultivate the Christian
character n Christian life. There is ever
present with us the consciousness of a
spirit that seeks to make us do a thing
which we know Is wrong and another which
tells us to do that which Is right. The
spirit OF contentment In this modern day OF
fierce competition in business and interest
is subordination to the desire for specula-
ton. Man Ia diverted from his spiritual
duties and instead Of being found in the
place of worship he may be found working
for material advancement.
Success gained by honest effort and APP
plication lie commendible, but when man
~neElects his God and family to increase his
business 1t is bad indeed. The crash comes
in the end and himself and family are in
volved In the wreck. When man measures
his social influence or m standing
by money, he IL measuring BY a false
standard. What 10 money? 1t Is something
and nothing. The pursuit OF 1t Is madness.
He that makes money his God Is running
his moral life. Seek we first the Kingdom
of GOD. You cannot serve two masters, l
appeal to you young men particularly, with
all the earnestness of which l am capable
to make not money your God. Seek We
first the kingdom of God and then these
things will be added unto you, but give
God the first place and then you will en-

PROSPECTIVE MINIsTER SPEAKS
Rev. BRyne of Joplin, Mo-. May Come
to Plymouth Congregational.

Rev. j. j. Bayne, pastor of the First Con-
gregational church Of Joplin, Mo-, addressed
the n: mbers OF the Plymouth church, Sun
day morning taking as his text the words
of Paul as an old man, This one thing l
do, forgetting those things which are be-
hind and pointing to those things which
are before, l press on to the prize"
A meeting Of the congregation was held
Immediately at the close of the service. and
a vote was taken on the question OF calling
the Rev. Mr.. Bayne to the pulpit, but no
definite action was taken as a number re-
served their judgment. Mr.. Bayne occu-
pied the same pulpit In the evening, speak
Ing on the subject OF True liberty"
In his morning sermon he said. in part:
Paul was an old man, and was looking
back on a successful life, and from his
words we can draw the secret Of success;
which is, that true victory Is attained by
forgetting other things and pressing for
ward to a definite goal. Paul takes his
figure from athletic sports, as he fire.
lueutly does. This time 1t is a runner.
Life is a race in the fact that 1t too must
have a definite aim.
1.-The first step is to forget the things
which are behind. Those sins which are
behind us should not be remembered. God
Is forgivlns and loving. and when our sins
are repented OF and forgiven they should
be remembered no more. Forget past de-
feats. Many men never see success be-
cause they cannot forget the defeats OF
the past. Some failures should be remem-
beTed because they serve to save us from
pitfalls, but most OF them should be left
behind.
Life must rave an aim. Let me ask
you a question. What is your goal? When
your aim is the same as Gods aim for you,
then you may win success. Gods plan for
you is the production of his character in
you. For this the universe was created.
For this Christ lived and died. For this
we have been saved.
Strive to be perfect as Christ was per-
feet, He came into this world to teach us
how. The flower OF Man and God, Jesus
Christ came into this world TO make US
like himself. The apostle tells us how We
may reach that aim. No matter what your
work may be. press ON toward the prize"

Mr.. Sherman, when the latter was a school

way he had followed his career and devsl-

The location of the ice plant on city
property and the claim of the city
against the Ludden company for
water, and the counter claim of the
Ludden company against the city,
were discussed at a special meeting of
the common council held on Monday
evening, for that purpose; but no
action was taken. On motion of
Alderman Horn the consideration Of
the whole matter was postponed, to be
settled by the new council. The
manly, fair minded spirit displayed
by Mr.. Horn both in Offering the
motion and his remarks favoring it's
adoption is the subject of much favor
able comment by citizens who were
present at the council meeting and by
others who have heard of it. Such
action on the part of public officer

ABOUT GOOD DIRT ROADS

The Highway Division of the State

people to the great waste of time and
money on our roads, and their conse-
quent bad condition.
During the winter when they
couldn't help build roads they have
been talking at farmers institutes and
other meetings wherever the local peo-
pie were interested enough to get up
such a gathering. In this way they
have attended about l2O meetings and
talked to 900 or 20 900 people.
They have urged the use of the split
log drag and other cheap effected
means of keeping our roads in good
condition with such success that many
towns have voted to have them used
on all their roads after every rain
this summer.

A GOVERNMENT BY LAW.

In his Jefferson day speech in New
York, President Woodrow Wilson of
Princeton warned against the present
general tendency toward government
by personal power and demanded a
return to government by law. He
said:
"We have ia fact turned from legal
regulation to executive regulation.
We have turned from law to personal
power. 1t is that choice which as
Democrats we challenge, and chal-
lenge with confidence, as opposed to
every ancient principle of liberty and
of just government. Have we given
up law? Must we fall back on dis
cretionary executive power? 4
If we return to it we abandon the very
principles of our foundation"

The American Game.

Byan's COmmoner: "Play BALI is
the slogan today, and soon the great
American game of base ball will be
on in all its glory. And glorious
game it is too. 1t can be played by
the small boy on the vacant lot, the
young man on the school and college
campus, by the business man who
wants an hour or two of pleasant
exercise in the open, and by profess
SIGNALS who entertain millions of
Americans with their skill. If there
is a cleaner, manlier spOrt-a sport
that invigorates spectators as we'll as
players-like our own American game
of baseball, The Commoner would be
much obliged for an introduction
thereto. And in addition to being
clean and healthy sport it is typically
American. One never hears of a
stake" ball game, and that is why it
appeals so strongly to the average
American. On a thousand vacant
lots and we'll appointed grounds the
good old game of base ball is in pro-
gress, and it is building up bone and
siuew, strengthening the eye, clearing
the brain and intoxicating love for
ont doors that means great benefit to
the entire citizenship of the country.
May the old game always be as clean
and manly a sport as it is today, and
its deyOters increase.
