EDITORIAL The pebble of a small lie, dropped im the1 great sea of human thought, irWtf itself sink to a sudden grave, vDut its influence is seen, concentric and, increasing, until checked by , the shoies of eternity.- V alter F; McDowell in Midland Methodist Malice travels by night, masked tfnd well-armed, while simple' igrior- fttice Walks at noonday, gives its deformity to public view and slinks away at the approach of truth.- V. F. McDowell in " Midland Metho dist V i ' : Life, like water, rise's no higher than its source, therefore the Apos tie Paul placed the proper estimate on the altitude of our lives, when he said, "your life is hid with Christ in God," and we venture the re mark that no man's life can be safe nor pure, neither can it rise to its proper level if it is hid ehewhere. The famous "corn corner" has been broken. Good. And the pnce nas gone aown. nez tier go Noboly ought to want " to pay a dollar a bushel for corn, nor should any one wanto sell if at that price. Its not worth it " Johnssdwn, Pa., is the scene of another horror. It is not yet for gotten how that a few years ago this little city was literally swept bff the earth by a flood. Again it buffers, this time from a most heart sickening mine disaster, in which more than 250 lives were lost, whose bodies were horribly burned and mangled. Many lives fun to waste for lack of sel-developraent Many a man pines for an education, and vet will not take the trouble to educate himself, as he might in odd mo ments, with persistent inquiry and haid and careful study. Many a man might be skillful in his chosen occupation, and expert in his fields of investigation, if he spent the time in reading and learning that he spends in dreaming, or idling, or smoking. Many a man wastes enough of Iris : life and vigor in laziness and lust and gluttony, to make him intelligent able and use ful; wastes enougbJof money in extravagant and useless expenses o make him comfortable, prosper ous, and everis wealthy; wastes 'cftiough of opportunity in dawdling and trifling to jnake him "a power in- the world ; and then wonders and murmers at the success of others, and complains at his own lack of prosperity. .
