Morals vS. Ethics

Ethics is the science of moral duty or it is a sys- tenn of moral practice. There is no limit to the amount of good any man can do, no matter what his business or profession.
 Moral duty and moral practice are one and the same thing when ana lyzed and applied to the profession of dentistry. There is a so-called
Arizona republican., 1919-12-16

ethical price for dentistry agreed upon by the pro- fession This in my opinion is not the proper thing as the prices in many cases ofttimes too high. I charge certain stipulated sum for certain work, and do not make "ethics" carry the overhead. My prices are based on fair profit for my years of thing to cover the cost of ethics Neither do enter into agreement with anyone to set prices for den- tai work at certain standard My conscience is my guide as to my moral duty and the moral practice in which I engage.

COMPLETE THE METHODIST
CENTENARY

Unification of the Methodist
churches is feasible. More than that
il. is the desire Of the membership Of
both The Northern and Southern
branches Of the Methodist church that
the movement go through. IL the
plan is failure it ought to be made
plain at whose door the fault lies.
These comments appear in the Aug.
7th issue of The Pittsburg Christian
Advocate which regrets that the
commission of twenty-five members
named three years ago by the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, North, to con
fer with like commission from the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
has not perfected a plan Of action.
The Advocate asks: docs the fault
lie with one or both commissions
Or with recalcitrant members of the
Joint Commission? Or in the nature
Of the problems involved and the in
superable difficulties of the task i'm
posed on fallible mem" The Advo-
cate does not attempt to answer these
questions setting forth that it would
( be "ungracious and Improbable" to
do so. 1t is subject in which Meth
odists of West Virginia and all
church people for that matter are
greatly interested.
Every lay member should insist on
prompt action and make missionaries
out of the extra preachers, If there
be any left. Complete the Centenary

morning this time taking from our
midst "Uncle" Jim Logan, of the
West side. Mr. Logan came to Be-
lington several years ago from Bev-
erly and was known to almost every
person in Belington, few people
about here who have not seen the
familiar figure of the good old man
sitting on the stone steps of the Kane
& Kyser Hdw. Co. Store, during the
shades of night where he performed
the duties of Waterman for many
years. Just last season he lost his
last child, Bob from the ravages
of Flu and since that time has been
in failing health. Our sympathy
goes out to the widow in her lone
