When we speak Of the human sids
Of any question we have special ref.
erenee to the best there IS in Us
great many people imagine thew are
doing the good and noble things Of life
when they are hold up a bundle Of
human eoneeit, and sclfShuess. The
real purpose of our existence is to do
good and gracious acts Of kindness to
our fellows. We get more out of life
by trying to make Others see the splen-
dor Of humanity around them and to
cause them to feel they are a part of
the great human family. It Is Christ
at work manifesting the real character
of God in the world. There Is so much
to be done to lift ourselves up and out
of our horrible httleness, and we can
do it if we allow our ego to dominate
our nOblest impulses.
We are too greatly inclined TO feel
our Importance and to revel in our mar
rowness to always be gracious, and
yet we are always asking God to bless
US, and yet we fall short in measuring
up to the requirements of our nOblest
duty to those about US. .
Being a real man or woman simply
means being a good Christian. that is
if it means anything. So many people
profess to have the essential elements
of goodness when if the truth was
known they. do not possess anything
at all We must often search our hu.
man nature to see if we are falling
short in the things we too often eI-
press with our lips.
Are you pretty3 Do You do any
thing worthwhilef Are you eherishing
any of>the attributes of a, splendid
temperament Have you ever had in
mind doing anything to radiate the
goodness Of a pretty lifei Is there
uppermost in your heart the inclination
to let the beauty Of your face do more
than attract some idiot or simpleton,
bent upon the ugly wiles of devish
eaprieei Are you bringing the rest OF
your self up to the level of pretty
face, OF do you entertain the unfit and
horrible feelings of a groveling nature
merely because you are pleased with
your prttty facet
Most, or all Of us had good parents
and it is up to Us to prove IT. we
usually can tell if people had good par
ents. To carry forward this Thought
we must not lose sight of the training
most Of Us received while the blood
ran warm in their veins. Forgetting
the teachings Of those we reverently
hold up as the best ever does not say
the charming things of your environ
hent. But if yOu would have people
be impressed to entertain the best
ideas Of your parents it is up to you 70
prove it by your thoughts. by y0ar
deeds and by your works.

seems. Crime is rampant. The officers
Of the law seem to be doing everything
they can to arrest the criminal and the
more they do It seems that matters are
becoming worse. Fortunately there Is
less crime committed by eOlored enm-
inals. We believe that the daily news
papers should publish less Of these
heart rending stories that meet OUT
gaze every morning. We believe the
daily newspapers are putting notions
OF deviltry in the heads OF young
criminals BY telling them how banks
are robbed, how people are easily nelo
up and robbed, and many OF the''
young fellows while fun Of the dime
novel trash see an opportunity to pc

a foolish pride, made 50 by ne"sPape'
