Whispering Tongues.

Whispering tongues in the streets

voter who righteously lives, helping
his neighbors he cheeriu!ly gives
always he works for the praise
worthy cause, caring no hoot for
the public applause; honest and
sober and straight as string, he
should be honored as much as a
king. Some one is jealous. annoyed
by his fame, some one is playing the
whispering game; some one is busy
with larynX and lungs. starting the
legion of whispering tongues. Do
we rebuke him, the whispering guy,
do we denouncc him for spreading
lie: Do we insist that the voter
maligned ranks with the highest and
best OF his kind? Do wo exult in
the voters success, do we respect
for his merits confess, watching him
climb to the loftiest rungs-or do
we train with the whispering
tongues? Old Titus Oates, in a long
vanished day, whispered the lives oi
his neighbors away; victims of Oates
on the scaffold were slain, others
were tiogged It the rear OF vain.
And it IS good at this time to recall.
Titus was scourgcd. in the end,
worse than all. Whispering tongues
are as busy today, lying the honor
or good men away. Whisperers
breaking the innocent hcart-may
they be scourged at the tail OF a

SEES GREEK IDEALS HERE
d. c. Pastor Urges Countrymen te
Become q. S. Citizens.

The ideals of the ancient Greeks
have been Incorporated, enlarged and
made practical in American life, Rev.
Thomas DenielS, pastor OF SIS. Com
Stantine and Helen Greek Orthodox
Church, told his congregation yester-
day morning in urging aliens to be-
come American citizens.
The only way to be desirable and
useful citizens. he said. Is to become
American citizens. ut is one Of your
main duties to your adopted country"
he continued. 1T is your duty to
learn the ideals and principles of the
4 me rican government as it was your
responsibility to study the civic and
home affairs of your mother country
before you came here" Rev. Deniels
said that he, the trustees and other
officials of the church will be glad
to assist all the Greek residents here
to acquire the first and second citizen
ship papers.

Of the individual and the rights Of

But civic depravity and social dis
integration have their beginnings in
the home. One Of the highest ideals
and greatest sources of strength to
American civilization until recent
years was the character and perma-
nency of American family life. In the
home was built the character of the
individual, there We're taught the
value of self-restraint and the vir-
