Remember my bonds" Col, Ais.
Paul the bound prisoner, wrote
this letter TO Colosse by the hand of
another. But to certify the epistle
and greet the eyes OF friends with his
own sign-manual, he writes: "The
salutation by the hand of me, Paul :"
Then, as if realizing the ill-shapen
characters, and appealing for lenient
judgment, he pleadingly adds, "Re-
member my bonds"
Where the 'bonds" that lay limita-
tons on our lives are imposed by our
own evil-doing, we may not plead
them so we'll in bar of judgment.
But, o, how many hampered lives

He has tugged at his tether. He has

Good ii Low-voleed Reply.


We have discovered in our home
that If the table talk gets too noisy
one of the family may bring the rest
to order by speaking in a sudden whis-
per. Parents often sacrifice much to
give their children dancing and music
lessons, but the most lovely accom-
plishment of all, soft and pleasant
speaking voice, is something they may
themselves develop in the children
find that child reflects almost = in
stantly the tone of voice of one who
speaks to him. A very gentle and
low-voiced reply to an excited or an
cry child reduces his next remark to
half in volume. To answer the vexa-
ton of a little child in whisper
catches attention, often brings laugh
and is far better than to stamp the
fretful tone deeper by mimicking it.
as parents sometimes do. Example is
better than precept. Parents who have
themselves learned self-control, and
that it is never necessary, to raise
ones voice in order to speak with dig
nifty and authority, are teaching their
children priceless lessons. That a
soft answer turneth away wrath is a
cardinal maxim for the household

Brer Rabbit, the Hero,

The folklore tales of the south and
of the West Indies are often similar,
the only difference being in the hero
Of the plot. Brer Rabbit is the hero
Of southern folklore tales; Bo Anancy
takes the leading part in the West In
dian epic Geographical dissimilarity
of origin explains the difference; the
rabbit stories are of Congolese or
Bantu origin; Anancy stories original
ed on the gold coast. The rabbit was
the totem from which the Bantus
were supposed to be descended, while
the Tshi-speaking tribes, from whom
West Indian negroes trace their de-
scent, had the anancy, or spider, as
their totem. In the Anancy stories wild
animals have the gift of speech; they
converse freely with men and live on
easy social terms with them.-Samuel

In an able editorial on Equality Be-
fore the Law" the St. Augustine Record
of recent date cites the immediate ar
rest, incarceration, and final condem-
nation and sentence of men recently
convicted of killing officers of the law
in Duval and St. Johns county, in con-
trast with the leniency shown h e
sheriff of Volusia county under indict-
ment for murder in the first degree for
killing private citizen of Putnam
county. Among other points made by
the Record are these:
"The accused who is allowed his lib
erty on bail is technically still prison
| the sheriff against whom two verdictS
charging murder have been rendered
and the only plea in defense of such
failure to act is the superstition that a
suspension would prejudice the case of
the defendant in trial for murder. If
the sheriff were in Jail would he still
be sheriff? The governor is allowed
the discretion OF suspending officials
| how could suspension be justified on a
stronger plea than when asked because
the official has been charged by two
iuries with murder?
with some aspects of the case the
courts must deal and the courts only.
But the governor is responsible for the
proper use of his discretionary powers
and for this he will be held responsible.
Shall we duly protect the lives of citi-
zenS while refusing TO respect the plain
provisions of the law when an official
takes the life of citizen? The govern
or allows sheriff indicted for murder
to exercise the prerogatives of his office;
he refuses to investigate the conduct of
magistrates charged with refusing to
obey the law in a case where an official
is concerned. VIII the governor plead
ignorance or intent when arraigned be-
fore the bar of public opinion"
