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 uring out the particular kind of a lie you are most in the habit of using, and whether it pay to lie. Whether lying is a disease, or merely a habit, (here is no deny ing the fact that it Is quite com r those n l who T y would stoutly , even and a am vigor- ° n8: ously resent beingcaUedliars Is lying ever justifiable? You might discuss this question^ around your own fireside with more pr Ie#a profit. * 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. | A Lau gh Ur Two | 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.” EAST GRIFFIN Miss Estelle Grubbs.
