Good men have been frequently mis-
judged by the world. One of the most
gOdly of oil the missionaries Of the
church was James Evans, who minis
tered to the Indians of the frozen
north. He incurred the hostility of
officials of the Hudson Bay company
because he taught the Indians to rest
from their labors on the Lords Day,
although he demonstrated to the COM
pany's officials that those resting one
day in the week did more work than
those who labored seven days. When
Evans went to England he was re-
ceived coldly everywhere and was sur
prised and broken, hearted over the
fact. Then he learned that a cam
pafgL of Misrepresentation had been
carried on against him and he under
stood this coo, reception. Justice was
finally done him, but how hard to bear
such an experience as his!
However, even when the world has
the best of intentions toward us, its
Judgment is likely to be wrong. Jesus
said: "Woe unto you when all men
speak well of you" On the other
hand, he said: BLESSED are We when
men shall revile you and persecute
you and say all manner of evil
against you falsely for my names
sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad.n
AS matter of fact, the worlds
standards of judgment are wrong. Our
text throws much light on this point.
In the margin of our Bibles, the word
Judgment" is here translated "day,"
SO that Paul is saying: "It is a very
small thing that should be judged of
mans day." MANS day" is contrasted
with the "day of the Lord" which is
still to come. The principles which
govern "man's day" are not the prin-
ciples of the Lord but rather of Satan,
who is "the God of this age" Hence,
a Christian may expect to be mis-
judged by the world, for he is a pill
gl I'm and stranger here. The Pilgrims
In Vanity Fair, as John Bunyan has
pictured them, were looked on as out
landish men and people took them for
Bedlamites. "The world knoweth us
not"
Next, Paul goes on to speak of self
judgment. What an arresting state
ment-"I know nothing against my
self" Certainly he was not one of
those who turn the grace Of God into
lasciviousness. Although not under
law he insisted that the righteousness
of the law should be fulfilled in us
who walk after the spirit. He knew
nothing against himself.
But he Immediately goes on to say,
Yet am l not hereby justified" Paul
knew too well the imperfection of hu-
man self-judgment. Had he not once
honestly thought he did God service by
prosecuting Christians, and did he not
approve the murder of Stephen? Even

Every moment. Lord, I need
The merit of thy death.

Finally, Paul speaks of the Judgment
OF the Lord, concerning which several
Interesting statements are made.
To begin with, the Lords judgments
VIII be complete, for he "will bring TO
light the hidden things of darkness
and will make manifest the counsels
OF the hearts" This is a solemn
thought, yet how comforting, ONLY
200 knows the deepest things in us
and we shall be manifested at the
judgment seat of Christ. A story is
told OF a man who had a reputation
OF pelng most miserly. After his death
1t was discovered that he had pinched
and saved to bless a woman whom he
mad loved years before and who had
married another, and to help her chill
dren. The money that came so mvs.
teriously to that poverty-stricken fam
1iy' and which made education and all
good things possible, came from the
mlser who lived in the next street and
whose name was a by-word in all the
town. What revelations the "day Of
Christ" holds for US!

states which formerly governed them and
which are nha bited by peoples not yet
able to stand by themselves under the
strenuous conditions of the modern world
there should be applied the principle that
the wellheing and development of such
peoples form sacred trust of civiliza ton
and that securities for the performance
of this trust should be embodied in the
constitution of the league.
The best method of giving practical ef-
feet TO this principle is that the tutelage
of such peoples should be entrusted TO
advanced nations who by reason of their
resources, their experience or their
geographical position, can best undertake
this responsibility, and that this tutelage
should be exercised cy hem as manda-
tory on behalf of the league
Certain comm uuities formerly belonging
to the Turkish empire have reached 4
stage of development which their exist
ence as independent nations can be pro-
Visionally recognized subject to the rem
dering of administrative advice and as
slstance by mandatory power until such
time as they are able to stand alone. The
wishes Of these communities must be a
principal consideration In the selection of
the mandatory power.
There are territories, such as southwest
Africa and certain of the south Pacific
isles, which, owing to the sparseness of
their population, or their small size or
their remoteness from the centers Of
civilization, or their geographical continu-
ity to the mandatory state, and other cir
cumstances, can be best administered un-
der the laws of the mandatory state as
integral portions thereof subject to the
safeguards above mentioned in the inter
eStS or the indigenous population.

In pamphlet addressed to "The Young Men of America" the Ameri- an Exchange Bank offers this bit of sage advice:
 If the average young man desires
 to be successful he must submit to
 the conditions which success imposes.
 These primarily are honesty, indus
 try and economy, the practice of
 which is cardinal necessity in the
 formation of character.
 That is true. The young man who begins early to practice honesty, in- dustry and economy is bound to get ahead. The man who neglects any or all of these is giving hostages to for tune. He who nails these watchwords to his masthead has an ever growing handicap over the chap who has ne- glected any or all of them. Add a kindly disposition, willingness to serve and breadth of view and you have combination that an asset be- yond price in the great game of get ting along in the world.
 And what has all this to do with banking, that the institution quoted should show such remarkable inter est in the future of the young man hood of the country? Oh, that is sim pie. The thrifty man is invariably 6 bank depositor, the honest man tC whom the bank likes to lend none, and the industrious man invariably increases his deposits. It's a goot thing to interest young man in bank ing Give him a bank book and he ii apa to spend his evenings in a manner that will not cause an overdrawing ot his account.

Is This Advice Outworn?

From the Kansas City Star.
 When the words of Washington have been cited in the last few months on the foreign policy of the United States, the retort has at once been made that Washington used tallow candles. The assumption is that his words are as much out of date as his lighting system But this is what Washington said in his farewell ad- dress:
 Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all.
 Europe has set of primary inter ests which to us have none, or very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combina- tions and collisions of her friend ships or ermities.
 To an unprejudiced reader this counsel has an exceedingly modern sound. It certainly illumines the pend ing issues with the intense light of the modern nitrogen bulb
