bad-but it makes no differenc
whether it is woman or man wht
deliberately falsifies anything tina
in a measure helps to damage o.
ruin any ones character, is not Fl
to remain in decent society anC
should be kicked out until they
learn better-and it is doubtful i
they will ever learn better. 1t seems
to be a mania with some people tC
try in every possible way to injure
those for whom they have taken q
dislike. They stop at nothing, and
their scandalous tongues are lei
loose in a way to injure any one for
whom they have any enmity what
ever. 1t is shame that people who
call themselves Christians are gull
, ty of such contemplate means to
try to get even with some one with
whom they are not on friendly
| terms.
1t is strange, but nevertheless
true; that people who indulge in
these infamous things, generally
takes someone who is in every way
their superior, socially and other
wise, to try in some way to injure
them, and to do so, turn their
tongues loose in a scandalous way.

Church News
The Church School was well at
ended Sunday morning and the les
son for the day was carefully stu
lied by the Senior classes. Thomas,
he Honest Doubter, was the topic.
Thomas was like a great many
others who would not believe un-
ess they can see. Believing by faith
S an enigma to some people, but to
he true Christian who has expert

through the Holy Spirit, it is no
rouble for them to believe, and

Thomas lived in an age when

to them again and called
'homas and told him to reach
ither thy finger and see my hands
nd reach hither thy hand, and put
into my side, and be not faithless,
ut believing. And Thomas answer
d, My Lord and my God. Thomas
elieved because he saw, but Christ
aid, Blessed are they that have not
cen and yet have believed.
And yet the Christian of today !
as not seen Christ in person as
homas did, yet there comes to ev-
rytrue believer that faith which 4
Onvinces that Christ is above and
ill at the proper time mete out to
le deserving all the blessings that 4
eaven can bestow.
Thomas saw, believed and was ev-

pirit to be ever faithful thereafter.
The morning sermon by the pas
