For such a house I think there is
nothing loyelier than straight glass;

house there may be overdraperies of

Bad Old WAYS.

The way of Bafaam. the SON OF

doing.-II Peter, 2.15. :.
Among antiquities It is wise to dis
criminate. Some old furniture Is both
ugly and uncomfortable.
Evil is almost, II not quite, as an
Client as good.
Folly and wisdom, among men at
least, are twins, and we cannot dis
tinguish between them by the gray
hairs.
Adams way was odd enough: and
so was the way Of Cain, and OF Noah's
vile son. and OF Lots lewd daughters
and OF Balaam, and of Jezebel. and OF
Manasseh.
Judas Iscariot was as old as St
John.
Ananias and Sapphira were OF the
same age with st. Peter and st. Paul
This Is what the hard-boiled con-
servative fails to take into account
It IL enough for him to know that
a thing Is antique to make him re-
gard II a. venerable.
He reveres all long-established cd
ways, and considers every rule OF
ancient date an infallible command
ment.
This petrifes the moral judgmen,
and makes ethics q matter Of chro-
nology.
No rule, no custom is old enough to
refuse an answer to the question:
