OUR PLEDGE"
IS c. {. TOPIC
'Tcttcr Not to Sign Than to Sign
and Break It." Says w. r.
Hall.
Trom article by Wm. Ralph Hall IL

Trom article by VIM. Ralph Hall in
G. t. World)
81 think it is better not To sign pledge
thnn TO sign one and then broak it'--Lct
us see II this is reasonable objection.
We should hrst have clear idea OF
what we mean by breaking tho pledge.
II we stay away from tho regular society
prayer meeting, take no part in tho So
chty's life, stay away from the evening
church service and the midwoek prayer
service, fail 20 pray and read our Bibles
each day, are we keeping our plodgcf
Some viii answer "Yes" and some mo-,
both answers will be right. Simply the
emission OF any or all of these acts on the
part Of one who has signed the pledge docs
not necessarily mean that the pledge has
been broken. There may have been some
very good reasons back of these facts.
No one taking the Young Peoples
Society Pledge makes an unconditioned
declaration that he viii do thus and so.
The signer says, 81 will strive 81 will
make il tho rule Of my life, and will do
certain acts unless hindered by good
reasons4 Therefore, IT is the spirit back
of the omission that really makes a broken
pledge For me to resolve To make a
conscientious, consistent effort in the
GtittkEbii VI htAt i<tids ir "ttf ht.AtAh VI WV
pledge. To sing and not intend to strive,
to try only now and then when ono feels
so inclined, to be insincere IN ones at
tempt TO live UP to the spirit Of the cove
nant, these constitute n breaking OF the
covenant
With clear understanding of what
breaking pledge of this kind means,
what is your conclusion rs TO the wisdom
of signing pledge. Surely the sincere
worker is willing TO make the declaration
that he viii try, and try sincerely, to live
up TO the high standards Of the pledge.
But suppose some of us really do get
careless now and then, and often we arc
thuughtlcss and careless should we there
fore have no pledge rs our standard
Does tho government urge the removal
Of duty ON imported goods because some
regularly break the law2 Would you re-
move any law which contributes 90 n
higher social standard for the nation,
because some one, or even many, may
break u? Would you remove the Christ
ian vow before the altar. because many
have taken that vow and failed % keep It
Think seriously of these points, then 60
back 20 the soclety's covenant, and see If
you can conscientiotisly say, "lt is wrong to
sign the pledge, for it may be broken.
We hope you are looking forward To
the union meeting next Monday evening,
February 2, at Westminster church.

EARTH'S BEAUTIFUL LIGHT.
BY Frank l.. Stanton.

In the Silence that comes when the Dark
seems long
An oid-tIme song.
And Slnger-there. by dead fireplace
With the hight of the centuries IN his face
Yet the record says-where the world
may mark:
'He died IN the Darkp'
He hid in the novels of Long Ago
From the rain and the snow:
Starved on the needless streets, vet heard
In the Volts howl ever a singing bird.
The Thrall of the Dark, with its iron bars.
He sang the Song of the Stars.
How could he sing in that desolate place?
lie drcamed-Sweethear of your
face!
You wonder he knew you, where centuries
call,
But he loved a dear woman, and she told
him ALI
And the song that he sang to her made
in Life's Night,
Earth beautiful Light.
