among all people, this fact has
held true-good deeds were
made manifest; evil deeds were
hidden. Always and everywhere
you may trust the man whose
life and thoughts are an omen
book. Always and everywhere
you do well to keep your hand
on your pocket when DEALING
with the man who avoids pub
licity.
If you are privately accused
OF wrong, settle the matter pri-
vately. If you are publicly and
wrongly accused, get quickly to
the top of the highest house and
from the vantage shout to the
public that the accusation is a
lie. Only so can you retain the
public's confidence.
Some men may bear accusa-
tion in silence, trusting to their
clean record to Justify them be-
fore their friends. That me-
thoi is well enough with intim-
ate friends, but it is dangerous
method in dealing with the pub
lie. The public is not prejudic-
ed, not bound by affection. not
blinded by interest. 1t is jury,
waiting to hear the evidence and
be convinced, and it unfailingly
construes silence as guilt.
He who will not trust the pub
lie is lost. He who does not pub
licly prove himself innocent of a
wrong charged, must go to his
grave under cloud, for the pub.
lic will never forget evil gossip
nor ever forgive secrecy.
Trust the public. If you are
with clean hands, spread them
in the while light of day that
Ill who pass may see.-Fountain

TRUST THE PUBLIC


Once upon a time there was
a man who was accused of a
crime. He appeared privately
before the proper authorities
and established his innocence.
There the matter should have
rested.
But evil report travels on the
even winds, while good words
&ravel slowly if at all. And so
it happened that out of each one
hundred person who heard the
original accusation, only one
heard that the charges had been
refuted. The other ninety-nine.
hearing no denial from the ac-
cused man, considered him gull
ty as matter of course.
| mention the matter here as
introduction to the statement
that it is always well to take
the public into ones confidence.
What the public does not un-
derstand it regards with suspic-
ion. If facts of any sort are with
held from the public, men as
sumo that the facts are damag-
ing.
Men loved darkness rather
than light because their deeds
were evil"
No man wishes to hide facts
about himself of which he is
proud. He hides only those
things of which he is ashamed.
That is human nature.
There is neither policy nor
reason in keeping anything from
te public unless the thing is uu-
9stionable. The public is sus-
Vicious of secrecy, and resents
1t.
The man who makes a profit
of 10 per cent. on his wares
doesn't mind telling the public
about it.
The man who makes lat per
cent. guards the secret careful.
ly.
The public servant whose in
come is $500 a year makes NO
secret Of the matter. He who
makes an annual saving Of
$4,000 out of an $500 salary
trusts the truth only to himself.
In almost every instance the
secret thing is an unclean, un-
fair and unrighteous thing. The
business that it too secretive is
making profits in an Indecent
MAKING progts in an indecent

LECTURE
DELIVERED IN
LYCEUM COURSE

The last lecture in the Gardiner Ly-
ceum Course was held Thursday evening
at the Highland avenue Methodist church.
Morris Hindus being the attraction. His
lecture, The Russia OF Today" was in
tensely interesting and instructive. Its
charm was heightened by the knowledge
that 10 years ago the speaker was un-
able to utter a single English word.
The speaker caught the crowd at the
commencement of his discourse by liken-
ing the present weather to a real kus-
sian spring.
The speaker stated emphatically that
whatever the outcome of the war Russia
would most assuredly take her place as
one of the worlds greatest nations.
His description of the country, man
ners and customs of the country were
clearly and charmingly told. He de-
scribed the Russian peasant, his sur
roundings and his daily life. Russia her
self does not understand her peasant. In
der the most despotic governments, the
Russian peasantry in their commune have
the most democratic of all communities
on the earth.
At the close of the lecture opportunity
for questions was given and this added
d most interesting feature 20 the eve

Fl. G. Mann, pastor of the Universalist

troop to he formed in this city. Sixty
high grade pictures of scouts in ac-
ton were thrown upon the screen AMI
plcasingly described 10 the large and
interested audience. The speaker an
SWcred the oft repeated question:;
What DO Boy Scouts do?" by saying
that scouting means outdoor life and
consequently health, strength. happi-
ness and practical education. He
showed that it developed the power of
initiative and rcSourcefulness. That il
helps the boys and ensures good citi-

leaving school to escape the evils of

work as gives the boy mere wage for
the moment, but leaves him stranded
without any trade or handicraft to
pursue when he is q man, and so send
him as recruit to the great army of
unemployed, or what is worse, the UNI
c;nploNable.
The speaker showed that the Scout
movement is neither military in
thought, form or spirit, although it
does instill the military virtues such
as honor, loyalty, obedience and pa
triotiSm.
The pictures were exceedingly in
teresting and showed scoutcraft. first
aid lifesaving, tracking. signaling, ma

The hold that the idea has taken
upon the youth of our city is shown
by the fact that there are at the pres
