There are some people who seem to place their hopes of Heaven in other peoples failure to keep true to ideals. A queer depository, isn't it? And to my mind about as safe as a card board box would be for q safety vault.
 Perhaps you don't at once recog- nize the type I mean.
 I mean the sort of person who ex- plains his failure to become 8 Christ ian by pointing to some of the people who profess to be Christians and don't do the name any honor.
 What do I want to belong to the church for?" he will say. Look at Mir. M. Did you ever see meaner skinflint? And he's a deacon. No, thank you. I've no use for such hy- pocrisy."
 She Might Be Glad if She Didn't Gossip. Or a woman will say, When hear some of those Ladies' Aid women any church."
 As if that were anything to boast about. She might we'll be glad if she didn't gossip. but she probably does. Only she feels she has license to do SO because she has never been will- ing to place the restraint of public pledge to higher ideals upon hergelf.
 Not to fall below ideals because you haven't any, is no particular credit.
 That's No Reason You Shouldn't Try.
