A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN n. GUM.
More Leniency Needed.

thought of him that is at ease. Job,
kills.
was sitting of to one side listening
to a group of men talk-not caves
dropping, but Just overhearing what
they said. They we're a prosperous and
comfortable looking bunch of men. The
subject of their conversation was fel-
low citizen who had recently failed IN
business. It soon became evident to
me that there was no feeling of SYM
pathy among them for the poor fellow
they were discussing. No allowance
was made for his errors and bad Judg-
ments, to which they attributed his
failure. Some Of the group spoke very
harshly of him. They were all severe
in their comments.
AS I listened to this conversation
could not but think how easy it is for
those who are prosperous and going
along smoothly to misjudge and speak
i'll of the man who has been overtaken
by misfortune. I thought Of Job and
his friends, and how harshly and
wrongly these friends judged him in
the day of his adversely. 1t was these
friends Job had in mind when he said
lie IldG Is ready W slip Will his 1SSG
is as lamp despised in the thought
of him that is at ease"
Said man who had lost heavily, "I
do not mind my losses SO much as the
cold attitude and critical comments of
my former friends in business" AS
Cotton wrote, "Most of our misfortunes
are more supportable than the COM
mentS of our friends upon them" All
this is said. however, for the consid-
Grafton of him that is at ease" and
to bespeak on his part more friendly
leniency toward the man who has had
a turn of misfortune.

When Children Lie.

What are you going to do when your
children lie to you? And they will.
Your boy may be named George and
you may give him box of candy with
a Ratchet and cherry tree on 1t on the
22d of February in the hope that he
will take after the Father of His Coun-
try and not after the devil, who is
called the father Of lies, and still he
viii on occasions lie.
So there's one way of dealing with
children's lies that doesn't work, and
that Is moraliZing about it and holding
up extreme and unnatural examples.
You may thunder and you may preach;
you may denounce and you may pun
ish: you may theaten and even wash
out boys mouth with soap and water.
or describe future places of torment
with specially uncomfortable seats for
liars, or call the police, or what you
will, and you'll get nowhere. That has
been done for generations with indif-
8erent success.
Children's lying isn't that kind Of a
problem, and shouldn't be in favor of
such methods If they did work. For
8. you cured the boy Of lying and cast
out one devil you would let in others
and worse. Children lying is a COM
plicated matter. Any one who tells
you he knows just how to cure it isn't
telling the whole truth. It's a f1rst-aid
step in the right direction to recognize
that the problem requires patient con-
sideration and the art of diplomacy.
It's & job for Job. If you know how to
talk to children and have their SYM
pathy and don't pose as superior and
meet them and their problems on their
own level, good, sound talk now and
then on the meaning and the meanness
OF lying may do a lot of good, but that
isn't moralizing.
Children lie to escape unpleasant
consequences. BY making consequences
too unpleasant you increase the tempta-
ton to lie. A lie is a deception by
means of words, but it Is Just as much
OF deception by means of action. It's
the deceiving that is dishonest; it isn't
fair and square; 1t isn't being a good
sport; 1t isn't clean habit; it's low and
sneaky. You should be above 1t In or
der to retain your self-respect, quite
apart from what others may think Of
1t and the trouble your lies may give
But don't make it a counsel of perfec-
ton. Don't spread the notion that only
the perfect child and the goody- goody
child won't lie. Make it plain that
every boy and girl who is just like other
boys and girls will not be lier, not an
habitual liar. And don't spread the
idea that II he or she lies once it's all
over and things can't be as they were
before. Don't suspect children OF ly-
ing; ease matters In their favor. Show
your disappointment even more than
your disapproval.
Once the child has lied, he Is apt to
stick to it, and that complexities the
problem. There are black lies and
white lies and all shades between. You
must not make mountains out Of mole
hills, and yet must recognize that little
liars grow into big ones. The habit
must be watched and situations antici-
pated; prevention is better than cure.
Children who lie will grow out Of the
habit, but slowly.
The clue is morale, something like q
workable ideal, plane Of living, a code

Some of the new silk slips designed
to be worn with thin Summer frocks

Tennis dresses with Iow-cut backs
suggest evening dresses and the simpler
sort of Summer evening gowns suggests
sports clothes, and that makes possible
a new double-duty dress made of wash
able white or pastel-tcned satin, sleeve
less and low cut at the back, that is
actually designed for tennis or evening
wear. Simply by changing from sports
shoes to high-heeled evening slippers,
and by changing the tone of ones
makeup, the clever young woman can
go from late afternoon tennis to dinner
without bothering to change.
Never before were Summer clothes so
summary as those designed for warm
weather wear this season. The vogue
of the sleeveless dress has been as
sured by its general acceptance at re-
sorts here and abroad last Winter, and
the low-back sports dress no longer
causes comment. Sports and daytime
resorts dresses are still fairly short and
always with comfortable fullness about
the hem, and there are lightweight
linen, pique or straw hats to provide
shade under midday sun.

how to make a charming little poke

lions for making it, please send me q

that we all agree to live by. Nobody is
completely dishonest; so few are per-
fectly honest that they may be dis
missed from consideration. What we
want to establish is high morale, yet
one within reach Of the majority. You
don't have to be prig to be honest. In
fact, you're a bit of q cad If you lie
for low, selfish reasons.
Lying is great temptation, particu-
larry so for children. Reduce the
temptation. One of the ways to do it is
to put the big emphasis on right re-
lation between teacher and pupil; be-
tween parent and child. You'll be a
model teacher or q model parent If
you're the kind that child won't lie
to. what never?" well, hardly

Lamp Shade Novelty.

A novelty for the living room is a
lamp shade decorated with your favorite
photographs or snapshot prints. The
pictures should be at least inches by
z inches in size, and good contrast
pictures should be chosen with a va
riety of subjects. Paste or glue four
prints together to form a strip. Now
bend these at each joining and fasten
the prints together. The prints must
be trimmed before being pasted, so as
to form a square shade smaller at the
top than at the bottom, with different
picture on each section. A wire frame
will hold the shade in place.

Celery Stimulates
Tagging Appetite

Because of its appetizing flavor and
crispness, celery stimulates the appetite.
It is rich in mineral salts and vitaminS
and has, therefore. somewhat of a tonic
action. In addition it contains large
amount Of cellulose or roughage which
makes it valuable as a regulatory food.
The actual fuel value of celery is very
low, so that it can be freely used by
those who are dieting for reducing
purposes.
