The most ubiquitous parsonage in
the world is the LIAR. He can not
be located. You hear of him on every
side, but when you think you have
your finger on him he is like the
Dutchman's fea-he is not there.
You locate fresh signs Of his work,
attempted assassinations of charac-
ter, but when you believe you have
him nailed down, he is like the end
of the rainbow-still ahead. The liar
does not always lie outright, but does
much of his work by insinuation and
inuendo, trusting that his suggestions
will be magni ed as they pass from
mouth to mouth--and he is never dis
appointed. It is said to be found in
Holy Writ that God hates a liar
and everybody ought to be God-like in
that respect if no other.

ONE DOLLAR SAVED REPRE-

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he can not be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
