"HONESTY."
The prevalent idea of dishon
esty is either a had, malicious, de
vouring-lion of a lie or a little
harmless playful-kitten of a lie.
However there are many times,
when we do not tell an untruth,
that we still are not honest with
ourselves and our fellow man.
One abuse that is frequently
practiced among the American
people is that of hearing - false wit
ness against our neighbor. In
fact many of us seem to have for
gotten that this is a part of the
moral law and that one's reputa
tion is an invaluable possession
that should be protected by the
community.
We often repeat things that we
hear some one say—things that
probably meant nothing to the
one that said them but when inter
preted the second time cause some
one to feel badly. We either do
not tell under what circumstances
the remarks were made or do not
tell them exactly as they were
made—one little word left out or
inserted may change the meaning
entirely. Is this honest with your
brother? Does this cause some
one to misjudge him?
Then, too, are we worthy of the
confidence that our friends put in
us? They may tell us their most
intimate affairs, thinking they
will go no farther, but do they?
Is it right to sit up and read ex
tracts from a letter when you
know positively well that the wri
ter would not want you to? No
person who loves iiis country can
help but hang his head with
shame over the continuous revela
tion of lack of principal and
cheapness of character in men
who have been greatly trusted and
proved grossly untrustworthy.
Again there are times when we
are not honest with ourselves and
teachers. The latter may assign
a certain amount of outside work
to be done. Some of us do only
enough of it to write a passable
report. Others do not do any of
it. A few minutes before the as
signment is due we read the re
port some other member of the
class has written and from the
knowledge we thus obtain we
write ours, is 1 his getting the
most possible good from the
course? Do we get as much good
from copying Latin sentences as
we do if we "dig" them out? If
we do not get out of any course
what there is in it for us we are
cheating ourselves, our teachers,
our parents and every one con
cerned.
The time lias come for frank
ness with ourselves and the world.
There are entirely too many pious
schemers; far too many well-be
haved self-seekers. Shakespeare
said "To be honest as this world
goes is to be one man picked out
of ten thousand." If it is impos
sible [but it is not) to be the one
out of ten thousand we can at
least hoist the black flag and stop
sailing as a missionary ship.

Y. w. c. A.
The usual mid-week prayer
meeting was led by Eugenia
Payne, whose subject was "The
Beauty of Kindness." The Bible
lesson was drawn from these
words of Jesus himself, "Inas
much as ye did it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye did
it unto, me."
The leader mentioned many of
the ways of doing kindness and
that one beauty of it lies hidden
in the fact that we do not realize
often that we are being kind, and
that we are making some one glad
if we strive persistently enough to
live an unselfish life. As school
males here we can show the spirit
of loyalty and sacrifice; as stu
dents, obedient and respectful to
our teachers; as friends, sincere
and constant, and into our homes
we can carry good cheer and the
spirit of love. There are oppor
tunities every day for some acts
of kindness and the beauty of it
remains. She then concluded by
reading the well-known poem : "In
the House by the Side of the
Road," written by Sam Foss. She
told the experience of Mr. Foss
that inspired this beautiful poem
and left this thought with us, "Let
me live in my house by the side of
the road and be a friend to man."
