to admit this. but we may not be en-
tircly willing to heartily endorse all
that the energetic people thereof have

For example. an equal suffrage club

1t Is to be feared, however. that the

SENTENCE SERMONS.

(From the St, Louis Times)
Good manners adorn good motives.
It's faith In luck that makes the loafer.
Nothing IL saved that Is withheld In
selfishness.
No life is hopeless so long as It gives
Others happiness.
Truth is always too big to be bound
ed by one mans vision.
The sorrow Of earth cannot be cured
by signing for Heaven.
Nothing can make up for the lossei
that come from self love
A good deal of religious fog is due Il
evaporated enthusiasm.
Being forearmed may be tho best kind
of faith In the right fight.
OF all promises the worst to break
are the ones We make ourselves.
