RADIANT LIVING
THE SPITE FENCE
BY Rev. C. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgeiy M. e. Church
Ridgely. Md.

AS l was calling in a certain
neighborhood one day, l noticed be-
tween two adjoining back yards a
very high yooden fence over which
one could not see.
The height of this fence seemed SO
strange that made inquiries con-
cerning it, l learned that the man
who erected it had become so angry
at his next door neighbor that he had
erected this high fence TO prevent his
neighbor from looking over into his
yard and at the same time shutting
off his neighbor's general view in that
direction.
Whenever any one puts up a spite
fence, he might as we'll erect a large
billboard on his premises and ad-
vertise in large letters that he is a
chronic sorehead.
Is not the spite fence revelation
to the public at large of the strife,
the contention, and the revengeful
spirit that RACES in the heart of the
man who built it?
The spite fence talks out loud. 1t
says to the passerby: II am the only
solution to a difficult neighbor prob
lem that the man who built me had.
Had he more thoughtful mind. a
higher ethical standard or possessed
more of the Christian spirit. l. as a
spite fence, would never have appear
ed"
There never appears a spite fence
OF any kind. visible or invisible. on
the premises of genuine Christian.
Such man is careful never to erect
a barrier of hate between himself and
any other person Instead of a spite
fence there are if anything. fragrant
flowers of Christian love that ex-
press the spirit of Christian good +
will.
1t would be well for us to bear in /
mind the words of John Wesley: I'VE
should chiefly exercise our love to-
ward them who most shock either
'ur way of thinking, or our temper.
" our knowledge. or the desire we
lave that others should be as virtu-
'us as we wish to be ourselves"
The spite fence spites only the
nan who erects it,

silver Purchase Act.

Last week the Treasury purchased
foreign silver at 35c an ounce, while
press reports from London state that
silver was selling there at 33.4Sc an
ounce. Why this country should pay
more for silver than the sellers of
the metal are clearly willing to take
for il is puzzle to me and many
other people. An even greater puzzle
is why this government buys any
foreign silver at all since the Treas
ury's daily statement for July Z
shows-in addition to silver in actual
monetary use or in use by pToxy-an
idle stock of 1.135.0O0000 ounces of
silver. This country already has
enough silver to make more than
two dozen sterling silver teaspoons
for every man. woman and child in
the As states. That is enough silver
so that every baby born from now
until dOomsday could be born with a
silver spoon in its mouth.

Corporation COun s e Ps Opinion Asked on Plank
 Road Grievance

Ruling by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor on possibility that the city is liable for a food condition on Plank road will be presented at the meeting of the board of finance at 4 o'clock today.
 Harry O'Buck, of Il Plank road, appealed to the board of public works some weeks ago for relief from flooding of this property which, he said, was caused by the grade es- tablished on adjacent street by the city.
 Superintendent of Streets Thom- as J. Fleming and City Engineer Charles A. Root were designated to investigate and report to the works board. The estimated cost of re- leving the condition was set at $4,500 and the matter was referred to the finance board to make the appropriation, if it saw fit.
 The finance board returned the matter to the board of public works with the comment that there seemed no definite indication that the city was liable for such relief and its coincidental expense.

Gethsemane, and of Calvary,s Hill. Faith prevailed. Erk, son of Laghaire, is the first convert. Now see Patrick going from clan to clan the winning of a nation with out the shedding Of its blood. Christ is accepted, chapels rise, monasteries prevail. The faith is brought to every gael. As I gaze beyonds the East and the North, the South and the West and I see his followers carry on. I see them bring the message of the loving Christ to every land and every cline. I see in the streets of Sin apore, the Patricks preaching the Gospel there, and in the heart of
 desert lands, and on the front iers, wide. They hold the Crucifix aloft. They spread the faith; and as I think these thoughts, night comes and slowly I descend the hill as Patrick did. The city's lights are far away and twilight turns the world to gray-the plow- man plods his weary way and leaves the world to dreamers and to me-and-so ends my first Eve ming in Ireland.
