CHELSEA, Mass, March 8-Tba
celebration of the Boston Massacre
lay at Peoples Church Sunday even
ing was marked success. DR.. Alfred
=. Lane, former Professor of GEOLOGY
at Tufts College, was the PRINCIPAL
speaker. He began by paying tribute
to the early Colored people who
played such an important part in the
history of these United States. Then
ne spoke upon the one place where
religious and scientific teachings
Tagree: that truth is cardinal doc
trine for life, and anything opposed
TO truth is wrong-dead wrong"
There are two kinds of lies" said
DR.. Lane, "the good natured (white)
lie and the ill-natured (black) lie.
Both are equally wrong and should be
avoided. Lincoln and Washington
achieved their lasting fame because
they insisted upon this cardinal viz
tue" DR.. Lane also advised parents
to lnstlll in children's minds, both bv
precept and example, that truth in the
end must succeed and should be insist
ed upon at all costs. Telling or living
untruths affect not only ourselves"
he said, "but our judgments and the
beliefs of others. The thing which
made most men great was their I'M
common observation of common hon
esty and their reputation of all things
dishonest" After the conclusion of
Lanes subject: Lying and Conf
dence," Executive Secretary Paine of
the Chelsea Y.M.C.A., who introduced
DR.. Lane, spoke briefly re-emphasizing
the truth that: "You can't do wrong
and get away with it no matter how
hard you try" DR.. NJ Cravath Simp-
son of Boston also spoke at some
length about Crispus Attacks, Freder-
lex Douglass, etc. Orlando Tibbetts.

ent lack of interest on the part of the
members of the Community Civic
