Picking Out Faults.

1t is a very unattractive life a man
leads who is always probing around
for the mistakes and faults of others.
He is then spending the time that
might be better spent in looking up
his own sins and follies. But even
if he hasn't any there is little real
profit in hunting up those of others.
In this criticism of others there is
always one-sided view, and nearly
always an explanation could be made
that would clean up the whole affair.
But it is not this aspect of the case
that we mean to treat of, but to that
which teaches that a person could do
more good in the world by making
his own life worthy than by devoting
his time to hunting up the unWorthl-
ness of others. There is far more
good in exemplifying virtues than by
exposing faults.-Ohio State Journal.

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of our lit
tie girl, Christine Ritter. Born
March 10, 1914; died March IL,
1916.
God gave to US a little child,
A loving spirit, meek and mild;
He came again one year today,
And took our darling child away.
Tho hard to understand His will,
He loved us then, He loves us still;
For He who doeth all things we'll,
Has wondrous ways His love to
And though we miss her voice and
face,
And none can ever fill her place
In heart and home; the child we love,
Is safe with Christ in heaven
above.
Dear little hands. ! miss them so:
All through the day wherever |
All through the night how lonely it
seems
For no little hands wake me out
OF my dreams.

len has filed suit against Frederick
Lawrence, neighbor, charging he
beguiled and lured Pedro to his own
bug-ridden potato fields. Exemplary
damages are asked.

There Are None of the
Charges, However, for Poor
Little Belgium TO Answer

Britain may have gone into the war to
acquire territory and 20 dominate the
worlds trade
France may be after Alsace-Lorraine.
Russia may be prompted by her cen
turies-old designs upon the Dardaneies
Italy and Roumania may be in it in
spired by greed of territorial expansion
Such charges made by Germany may
be true
They are not true as to Belgium.
President Wilson did not have TO ask
what are the aims Of the Belgians
However mercenary and vilely amhis
tions the aims Of the Central and Entente
powers, Belgium's hands are clean beyond
question.
No matter what other beihgerents have
right or no right to demand, Belgium's
right TO reparation, restitution aud guar
antees of future security is indisputahle
Ir it's reply to the Wilson note--a reply
that was very pert and very proper, by
the way-Belgium says that il has le-
gitimate hope that when the time Of set
tlement comes, it will find in the United
States unanimous echo to It's claims.
It will.
The echo may not be unanimous. but It
will be practically so, and Belgium will
hear similar echo from all other peoples
who love justice.
If President Wilson desires to 60 far
ther with his peacemaking he might put
it up directly to Germany as to whether
she will grant reparation, restitution and
future security to invaded slaughtered
and enslaved Belgium.
Any peace settlement not including
these things would be a mockery in the
eyes of the American people
AS to Belgium, Germany is guilty and
has pleaded guilty
The Entente powers have replies TO
peace propositions but Belgium has re-
ply all her own.
Other claims may be beclouded and
open to discussion.
Belgiums is plainly written IN her
blood and suffering

Therc is something about You that all

Will attract the interest of every one.
1t Yourself
When God made YOU he made some
thing different from every other creature
That is what personality means. IL Is
diStinctiveness.
No character that you can pat on Is
half So attractive as your rea self.
This is hard for us to believe. because
self IS very sensitive. We nStnctNey
conceal it. as a guilty thing. We are as
ASHAMED of it as of our skin. Most oA
our culture results in thoroly Disgusting

The wicked conceal their vices the
good conceal their virtue as carefully
We lofe masks. veiis clothes. di,guises.
Life is masked ball Who knows his
neighbor? Or even his wife?
So, to be interesting To exert infu-
ence. to draw praise, We put on the traits
of others
We play we are this or that person rs
assiduously as children play papa and
mamma and soldier
And in the world Of mines. one VINO

Even the actor presumably a player

true that "he that loseth his life shall

You will notice that the orator never

divine spark until he has lost himself

Very young children are interesting be-
cause they have no self-consciousness
And finished masters for the same rea-

This is the peculiar psychology Of un-
