GUARDING ONES TONGUE

When Cardinal Manning of London
invention. Being asked one day to Of
fer a sentiment for the record he did
so. After his death the record was
brought out and heard by large COM
pany Of people. In words that were
characteristic and distinctly audible
they heard this singularly appropriate
utterance: "To all who may come aft
err me: | hope that no word of mine,
written or spoken in my life, will be
found to have done harm to any one
after / am dead"
This reveals pious care for his
famous preacher. 1t is sometimes easy
for us to utter words that are unlkind
or injurious without thought of
where their hurt may go. And we find
this out too late. The thoughtful per-
son guards his tongue. If it is never
nothing to be sorry for.
There are some words that carry
their burden of pain for many long
years, and there are some that distill
blessings throughout lifetime.
A prominent business man of the
South once told this story:
My father was an invalid, and it fell
upon me to manage good many of his
affairs One day | had an unusual
amount of hard work to do, and l
asked my father who was able to be
about little, if he would do the
chores around home that day while l
finished up the work on the lower
farm.
He assented, but when l returned
that evening, tired and worn, he told
me that he had not done that which he
had promised to do. The hot words
were just ready to leap from my lips,
for felt that he might have done that
little when / was doing so much for
him. But / choked them back, being
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1921-07-02

really unable to reproach him in his
old age and feebleness, and only said I:
"It's all right, father; I'm not so very
tired, after ALL"
/ turned away to do the chores my
self when father called me back, and,
laying his hand on my head, he said :
George, you are the best son father
ever had God bless you"
I went to my work and finished it.
Almost exhausted, l returned to the
house, but my father had spoken his
last words to me. He was done with
all earthly tasks His benediction was
a farewell. And from that day to this
whenever a temptation to speak an
angry word has come l have felt the
pressure of his hand upon my head
and heard the tender tones of his dear
voice.
In his WEAKNESS and ignorance of
his fathers mortal weakness this self
restraint must have cost that devoted
son an effort. He did not know how
many joys or sorrows depended upon
those few words. But he spoke as af-
fectionately to his father as If he had
known all that was to come-and he
made no mistake Those words, by
the coming of swift death, leaped into
strange importance, for they were
with him wildly through the years.
There is no act of self restraint,
there is no prompting to kindness,
that may not prove of equal impor-
lance in our lives. And if it should
not it will still bring its due reward

Cliffside Board
Of Education

BY vote of 122 to II the citizens
of Cliffside Park again this week ex-
pressed their dissatisfaction with the
manner in which their affairs are con-
Quoted by the Board of Education.
The proposition this time involved the
question of whether the present board
should have the authority to use at
the present time $500 of the money
needed to maintain the schools for
next year in order to pay a deficit in
Cured in past years, but not men
toned in the annual report. Since the
last strenuous school election there
has been an effort to comply with the
county superintendent of schools in
,structiOns that things must change; so
with the retirement of Joseph Whelan
and Frederick Smith and the Inaugural
ton of the new members a thorough
overhauling of the business methods
was begun. Incidentally it was dis
cerned that far from balance on hand
from last year there was an actual
deficit of at least $500, so a special
meeting was held to obtain permission
to pay this deficit with next years
money and let next year take care of
ITSELF
Those opposed to the measure ar
gued that they are entitled to know
at the end of each school year just
what was done with their money, and
that as this deficit was not renOrted
in the past it might be a good idea to
give the entire accounts of the board
a thorough airing to learn just why
the people were kept in the dark. AS
a constructive step toward this end
the board, on motion by Mr.. Korsinek,
seconded by Mr.. Bohm, decided to pro-
cure an accountant. Bids have already
been received and he is expected to
be selected and to begin work at once.

Trinity Lutheran
Annual Picnic

The annual picnic and outing of the
Grantwood English Lutheran Church
held last Saturday at Interstate Park
was grand success from every angle.
The various committees are to be con
graduated the way they handled
things. -Four large busses and ten
private cars conveyed the children and
grown ups to the park. Here rush
was made for ice cream and how the
''kiddies'' did enjoy it! Yes and the
mothers and daddies too. All kinds of
games and races were enjoyed by all.
In the tug of war between the fat
danes and the lean, the former won
by merely hanging on. large num-
Der of valuable prizes were distributed
to the lucky winners of the various
events. Mr.. Herbert Dyer, chef at the
Hotel Biltmore, had charge of the
roasts and salads. The day was ideal
and all enjoyed Gods nature in our
beautiful Interstate Park.

WHAT RELIGION MEANS

We cannot make too plain the fact
that religion is not primarily system
of beliefs to be cherished-it utilizes
beliefs, but they are altogether sec
ondary. Religion is not set of forms
to be observed-it utilizes forms, but
they, too, are secondary. Religion is
not a tremendous emotional upheaval
through which man may pass on hi
