Between Right and Wrong.


When you are in doubt whether a
thing is good or bad, don't adopt the
opinion that it is good. If you cannot
see line of distinction between the
two, till you find out better, look upon
1t as bad, says the Ohio State Journal.
Whatever is good is plainly so, and il
it happens not to be so plain as to
raise a question, regard it as bad, and
turn from it. The work of the evil
minded in this world is an effort not
to say black is white but that gray is.
There is much harm done by strad-
ding wrong. 1t is q favorite re-
course in society and politics and it Is
doing much to destroy the consciences
of people. You may depend upon it
If the heart is right it is always easy
to choose the right way from tho
wrong way. The mind cannot do 1t.
II we depended upon the intellect to
keep men in the right way they would
land in perdition. A scholar has as
poor judgment as a greenhorn if he
doesn't consult his soul. It is not a
truth IL a person cannot feel it In his
heart. So, trust doubts to the heart,
where love and good will live, and one
will not 60 far astray. :.

The "Horse lauoh.w

A woman correspondent Of the Port
land Oregonian asks that journal If
there is warrant or authority in litera-
ture for the term "horse laugh" The
lady is evidently Of opinion that the
term is a vulgarism, but the Oregonian
tlisabuses her Of that impression by
quoting such authorities as Pope, Gold
smith, Richardson and Dickens. It
may need to be added that the three
last named attributed the expression
to characters drawn by them, but Pope,
a master Of literary style in his day,
uses it o his own in 'sEpuogus to
Satires.~

young men for the present war, one
of whom is now somewhere in
France" Mr.. O'Brien feels the
need of the Red Cross and realizes
the increasing demand which will be
made upon its members.
At an early date the Chapter
Chairman will name the various COM
mittees to serve as Chapter Com
mittees.
Mrs M. P. Palmer, chairman Of
the Purchasing Committees named
at former meeting was instructed
to purchase about $4,000 worth of
wool with which to begin the knit
ting work that has been assigned to
this chapter. It was stated that in
formation had been received to dis
continue the making of surgical
bandages for the present as soon as
the material on hand had been exJ
hausted. Mrs. Palmer, acting with
her committee members, Mrs. H. j.
Williams and Miss Julia Maitland,
will have the wool on hand so that
knitting may begin within few
days. 1t is believed that this pur-
chasing committee will be again ask
ed to serve by the chairman. Prob
ably no wiser selection could be
made. Each member of this COM
mittee has been an intense Red
Cross worker since the organization
in the parish was effected.

The life Of the lilly is but few

Committee.

In short talk to the meeting, Mr..
c. S. Williams, chairman, compli-
mented the Chapter on the work it
has already accomplished and stated
that it would be his pleasure to help
place st. Mary in the lead of all
Red Cross Chapters in the South for
enthusiasm, efficiency and produc-
ton. Mr.. Williams is entering upon
his new duties with an energy and
thoroughness which will carry the
work in splendid order. It is be-
lieved that the Chapter will grow in
power and purpose under his skillful
and enthusiastic guidance and. the al
ready strong chapter Of St. Mary
will develop rapidly into one of the
greatest war relief bodies in the ma
ton. Mr.. Williams finds the men,
bers earnest in their work and fully
cognizant of the grave nature of
their undertaking and entire mem
bership is delighted that it is to
profit by the leadership Of man SO
eminently capable.
The st. Mary Chapter also has
cause to be congratulated over re-
tanning Of it's former treasurer,
Mrs. T. c. Lawless, and over the
selection of Mr.. R. E. Brumby as
vice-president and Mr.. A. B. O'Brien
as secretary. The present treasurer
has guided the finance problems of
the new chapter successfully through
the many issues that have been pre-
scented and her work and acumen has
been invaluable to the chapter. Mr..
O'Brien, as secretary, assures the
best of such service for the chapters
The new secretary is not only par
ticularly capable of handling the
work which will come to his hands
but he is thoroughly alive to the ur-
gency of the cause in which he is
taking part. A member Of family
