Let Us Make Sure

X HOST of the time we'd rather not believe in hell,

~ crimes that legal measure seems ADEQUATE
for their punishment, and then too there the
undetected scoundrels who manage to sneak through
life without paying penalty here for the exquisite
misery they create.
1t doesn't seem that just Providence can let
such these go scot-ree; place, some time the
big plan of existence must reckon with their wanton
careers
For instance, we would all like to feel that
the leaders of orphan asylum MALI administration will
be appropriately dealt with
In the light of modern philanthropy, it's hard to
realize that the breed of Squeers still survives. We
dared to hope that there more Dotheboys
Halls left in the word-that the exploitation of help
less children in public and private institutions had
ceased-that little boys and girls were guarded and
cared for everywhere.
But recent disclosures attest to the presence Of
human hyenas in at least one great city.
Orphan babies, founding but for all that, just
as wistful and chubby and cuddlesome your own;
ill-starred mites thrown upon the mercy Of the COM

morrow can hold the love guidance Of fathers and
mothers-these nnocents to whom owe every pro-
lection, and help, have been underfed tortured,
tantalized and terrorized by contemplate pack of
rascals as ever pfered the faith of humanity
It's an ugly episode, tawdry page in the history
of our day.

HISUSE is misuse. rusty soon loses its

There's no security in playing safe. Continue to

There's no prospect for the without faith IN his

Large winnings begin with small losings. Conf

Fly at it. Youcant big share until you
learn to take big dare. Anybody who expects to
direct even little group of his fellows must first
demonstrate, through past performances, the ability
to face new situations without hesitation.
All positions Of responsibility demand resource,
originality and self-reiance.
Life is struggle The mole tried to avoid that
fight by remaining out Of sight, and he must keep
under ground-he is unable to survive in world for
which he is no longer equipped. Once he had all his
