ONES CONSCIENCE" A GUIDE
Should BE Inner knowledge That
Tells Him How to Live to
the Best Purpose.

The word conscience" is closely
allied, in origin as well as ultimate
meaning with the word conscious
ness" Both trace their roots to
the Latin words "Con" with, or
within ones self and "Sciop Il
know
The person who is conscious,
therefore, knows that he is alive,
or at least that he exists. But the
person who has conscience knows
more than that. His conscience, or
inner knowledge, tells-or ought to
tell-him how to live to the best
purpose, and what is the right thing
to do under given circumstances.
The common origin of the two
words shows how closely intertwined
are their meanings, and of the near
relation between conscience" and
consciousness"
The person who has lost "con-
seriousness" is either dead or else is
in a condition of physical helpless
ness and uselessness resembling
death. The person who has no con-
science or has lost it might as well
be dead-so far as any value he
might possess to himself or the COM
