Until it has been subjected to three tests:
First. Is it true?
Second Is it kind?
Third Is it necessary?
IF do dot not know positively that it is true
will not say it.
If it is true but not kind, will keep silent,
Unless it is necessary to speak.
The truth shall be told lovingly
For the protection of my fellows,
And the welfare of the wrongdoer himself;
will never mention personal offenses to others
Until have sought to be reconced with the
offender himself.

Harvest for both speaker and listener, and
Will strive daily to refrain my tongue from

The Sunday School Christmas
exercises at the Presbyterian
church were very much enjoyed by
the large number who attended.
The children were out in full for ce,
and assisted in the entertaining
with song and story. The musical
part of the program was furnished
by MIR. and Mrs. John Mccain,
violin and piano, and Mrs. May
with two piano solos. All selec-
tons were heartily applauded.
One of the features of the en-
tertainment was the presentation
of gifts for the poor, which COM
prised all sorts Of groceries, apples
and potatoes. These We're all laid
at the foot of large white cross
that stood on the center Of the
platform. An offering was also
taken for the war-stricken mission
fields. The value of the gifts
presented was about S25 or $50.
A treat of candy and nuts was
presented to the children, being
the generous gift of Walter b.
