j THINGS PERTA jlNING TO LIFE
By Harry North
THE HA tkJ&jcb BIRTHDAY.
| w» coma again to celebrate tbe>
birthday of our country it will ba wall,

| menu which make a people groat, and,
what it means to ba truly patriotic.
I “Righteousness cxaltetb a nation,
i but sin is a reproach to any psirpla “
So wrote Salomon in bis wisdom. He.
had ample opportunity to judge ol.
thie saying. During his father's reign,
fbo nation bed gone to the very hiifj,,
eet seat because H feared God alZij
did right. Hie own reign was
oua too aa long as ha was true t**
the Lord.
Moral elemenu are the ones which ^
contribute strength to the United ■
8Utaa. W# art great to the extant <
that we are righeous, sad nothing <
beyond that. Jost mep nod Chri -
tinn institutions are the etrongfcor *
of our life. Homes end schools fas
loned upon Christian principles; tlHJ
part of the public press dsdieated t b>
the service of men, courts of justice. ^
houses of benevolence, hospitals. eev»|
phensges, s government in which the
eoul has had a part as wall as the 1
head and hand, aad above everything i
alee the church of Christ which has11
made these others possible, such ere' I
the things that have made oar people H
strong. f

It ii not enough to have extensivf 1
commerce; it must be operated <in t
right principles. Art mast be rigfct
***«• a* well as being perfect la tta -
technique. A corrupt picture may I
come from a master hand, and a bad P
play be perfectly rendered. Who has 1
not read a book written hi the moot -
elegant style yd setting forth the 4
moat contemptible teachings. It (a) j
very important that right i nesses [J
hasp pace with advancement every-f|
where. Mere material gain dost neCIi
make us a gnat people. Our eutd-jl

Isas, they are used by

P*c Nothing besides sin need eaue^
as shame. Poverty, ignorance andfl c
suffering may not be eo bad if tbdgj/
are aot caused by evil doing. Sin may
do big things aid bring n sort of fame <1
with it but It will not exalt as. It fj
will not give Mihraukee any pUaaore J
later on to recall that the city was £
made famous by an infamous thing.
Nevada has become a by-word ?
amongst the States because of the lax 1
divorce laws. How many apologias 1
her citizens will have to make os SO-'
count of such folly. South Carolina i
does not receive any glory from the N
fame of her former governor. Eag-jl

might be torn from her history, aad°j
Germany will surely weep ever smij
of her deeds in recent months. 1,
Wa may well be thankful that w* ■■ j
