After time he waa; liberated, however, and I recall that when he came into the Sabbath school, in Which I have been a teacher 'Tor ferra, on the following Sabbath, and waa asked to off r prayer! he re peated the twenty-third Psalm. "Your missir nariea in Mexico have been a fine and devoted band of Christian workers, And -they have done a good work. - Your investment in missionary work in. Mexioo has been worth while. "Daring the disturbances in Mexioo the churches have in many instances been profaned and vio lated. In one State a Governor issued a deoree abolishing all Catholic forma of worship, and forbidding the priests to conduct worship Unless they first go before the civil authorities and engage not to take part in politics. There have been exoestes, such as al ways come with revolutions, but the revolutionists in Mexioo claim that their efforts are directed not againBt religion but the abuse of religion, They charge that the priests have been on the aide of despotism and tyranoy. ' And it is claimed that in certain respects the Church has violated the laws. The revolution iB olearicg up the situation. For an excellent atate meut of the oase from the point of view of the revolutionists I re fer you to an article in the Sep tember Forum. "Our country oould not let the situation -continue indefinitely,1 and the recognition of Carransa has beea neoeiiary and 'proper. We have satisfactory- guaranteea as to religioua freedom. And' it haa been agreed that the priests can return if they will not engage iu politioa. "I have not been in a' chnrbh like this in years.

He was ' then informed that it waa uot a question of prioe or whether he gave up the work, but after making such positive promiaaa it became a matter of Aoiior and that a man who would agree to. a thing thai he Jid not liveupjo oool.d not be -trusted in awjrFateiMnt.o'r agreement that iJi2hf fcule.

Suppose ihey did aaVe a few cents by such ccoiduot, they lost thetr reputa tion Jor truthfulness, if they had any. r Thia, however, is but a type andraooh is common practice with some people, hence we make men tion of it in detail. Some people will sell their houor for ten cents, or tc aaye ten oenat and imagine they have done something smart. What a pity aud how disgusting it is to hear a strong man deliber ately lie for any purpose, but when he uuneoessarily does so, it is quite difficult to understand. The wages of ain is death was strikingly demonstrated when Au anias 'was atriokn dead for lyiug and the crime is no lesa heinous today thau-theu. Don't lie if you oan't fulfill your promises, make a frank explanation, but it is best not to make a promise, at least not the thoughtlcsj, mean ingless kind. Make your word your bond and you will be much the bitter off thereby. The pub lic haano respeot for a liar and when a man gets to the point that he would lie for a few cents, or a few dollars, he has beoome a very sorry sort of an animal . sentiment, and, after my life in "Mexico it was peculiarly interest ing to me to visit the old home of my peopU in North Carolina.
