THERE ARE LIARS AND THERE
ARE OTHERS.
Liars are not such a bad sort
when you come to know them real
well.
In fart they arealrnostinvariably
jolly good fellows.
Have you ever known a clever liar
who was a grouch, or miser or a
robber?
There are liars, and then there
are others. You probably class
yourself among the others.
But honestly, don’t you do a little
lying now and again?
To say you don’t would be to
prove that you do, for the best of
us are given to hiding faults, to
misleading and to deceiving.
Children seem to take to lying as
naturally as ducklings take to water.
Like other animals this instinct
leads them to deceive and to mis
lead their enemies.
That is why children are prone to
lie when they have done that for
which they will be punished.
As a rule children are far too
generous to lie in order to gain an
advantage over playmates.
What is a lie?
It is simply an expressed intent
to deceive, whether expressed by
word, act or manner.
If you intend to deceive, to mis
lead, or to confuse, you have lied
already in your heart, but it is the
expression of your intentions that
affeets others, the intent affecting
only yourself.
.
There are lies of vanity, of flat
tery, of convenience, of interest, of
fear, of malignity, of intended be
nevolence and of mere wantonness.
Each of these constitute a topic,
or text, for a sermon, or a column,
but you will And more benefit in fig

a lie you are most in the habit of
using, and whether it pay to lie.

RAILWAY LEGISLATION AND
THE PEOPLE
Perusal of the loca*. weekly news
papers and farm journals of vari
ous states where agriculture is the
predominant industry shows that the
demand of the farmers for lower
freight dharges is regarded as of
more importance than any other is
sue of the presidential campaign.
The railroads induced the boards
of trade and commerce of the nation
to endorse their application for a
30 per cent increase in freight and
passenger rates on the plea that
the extra cost would be “passed on.”
The mast important promise was
better service.
ThiB latter condtion has never
developed and now the boards of
commerce are uniting with farm
ers against a further rate advance.
The roads object to rate fixing on
the basis of a valuation of wlhat
their properties were worth in 1914,
and claim that they are as much
entitled to a return on the greatly
increased value of their properties
as the farmer is to an increase in
the value of his land.
The spokesman for the farmers
point to the fact that Blnce 1920
there has been a deflation in farm
values of several billions of dol
lars, but that no railway executive
proposes national legislation to en
able the farmers to get prices for
his crops based upon tfne inflated
land values of a few years ago.
The point at issue has simmered
down to a question of political pow
"The far^TiS'W
should not also experience some de
Ration-from the peak of high valu
should not be based on an approxi
ation, and why freight charges
mation toward the property vilues
of the pre-war period.
Whether logical or not, the ag
gressive farmers and big shippers
will insist that these questions be
considered in connection with the
raiiw&y~xatiL_pEablem and senators
and representatives will be forced
to take the matter up at the next
session of congress, no matter who
is in the White House.

At a prayer meeting in a negro
church the pastor was explaining
the passage which tells of the pass
ing of the children of Israel through
the Red Sea.
“It is all very simple,” he said.
“You know that water generally
flows down hill, but in this yere
instance things was jus’ reversed.
The water instead of flowin’ down
hill, done suddenly flow up hill,
leabin’ the bottom of the sea all
dry, so that all the children ob Is\
rael jus’ passes ober without elj tm
wettin’ their feet. Then—”
But,” interrupted a young negro
who had been to college, “it wouldn’t
have done that, pastor. It would
have been against the law of gravi
tation.”
“You jes set down, sah, >> an
swered the pastor. “You don’t know
what you talking bout. This all
happened three thousand years ’fore
the law of gravitation done been
discovered.”
When Archbishop Trench was dean
of Westminster he delegated Canon
Cureton to preach at the Abbey on
a certain saint’s day. On sudh days
the boys of Westminster school at
tended service, and afterward had
the rest of the day as a holiday.
While Mr. Cureton, on the morn-'
ing of the day he was to officiate,
was looking over his sermon at the
breakfast table, his son asked in a
tone vibrating with anxiety:
Father, is your sermon long to
day?
“No, Jimmy, not very.”
“But how long? Please tell me. ft
“About twenty minutes, I should
ray. But why are you so anxious
to know?”
"Because the boys said they
would thrash me if you are more
than half an hour.”
