By 'PEG" This is a question to which we give little thought and at, times it. may be we say "1 don't care what the world thinks of me. I have my own life to live." It is true that we can to a certain extent do what we Iike with our lives, but it is also a fact that we are re- sponsible" for the influence our lives have on others. No matter how we try to get away from that idea we will some day have to answer for our actions. There is practically no- thing we can do which does not have some influence on those ` with whom we come in contact day by day. Let us just look at a few of these facts, which show to our fellow be- ings just what kind of a person, Christian or non-Christian, we are. There are many questions along this line which can be dealt with separat- ely, butthe foll'awing are a few which we do not think •of ordinarily along ' this line. How do we speak to people? This 'applies not only to outeiclers but also to those who -Iive in our own homes. We all realize that many times we are one person with those. who are dear to us and another kind of individual to those with whom we come in contact in business, on the be enjoyed. From that moment, that street, and even in our ehurch con- youth ceased to be the idol of the belief that we were "women oe the street". It is contended that beauty is skin deep. Without being sarcastic we might say that oftimes little of our faces can: been seen, due to elle ameunt' of powder and paint we put on them. The Teal true beauty of one's character 'is sometimes hidden by the same cause. What do we laugh at? This may indeed appear to be an unnecessary question but the follow- ing story may' help to explain it— A young lad was very much devoted to a youth who was Some years older than he was. The, little more than a child, had been brought up in a home where he was taught cleanli- ness in thought, word and deed, In some way he had become much at- tached to this older boy. One night they were both invited to a home. During the course of general conver- sation a story was told which even the lad knew was not a clean one, He looked at the youth expecting to see a look of disgust an his face, but instead of that he saw him laugh- ing heartily, with some, ' of those whose minds were warped and to whom such a story was something to nection. There are many of us who can look- back to the time when we spoke unkindly to some one ' who loved us and -whom we loved, and we would today give all we possess back th e words so ifwe con take d spoken. We eau never take them back—when oncegiven utterance to, they have gone forever. It may be we get up cross in -the morning and we leave one or more sad hearts in, the home before we leave for work. Perhaps the dear one to whom we spoke is now living in the Glory Land,. How forgiving they were. When we came home at night all was forgot- ten and many times we were not even gracious enough to, say we were sorry. Who suffers the more for that sort of thing? We know that we, ourselves do, but how we must pierce to the heart those who have done so much for us. Then on occasion, when we are away from home, it may be accident- ally, some one will cross us, and it is not a second before we have re- plied in a way which is not Christian. Did we ever try this method? When some one makes a remark to us which is unkind, do weever just close our mouth and offer up a prayer to God to help us to keep from replying in like manner. He will do it and then we can very) often change the subject and the difficulty will be over. Tears after we can look' back to that oc- peat to be engaged if they slouched Basion and thank God that Se helped in to meet the employer? Nowadays us to live uP to the standard of what it i$ hard enough to get a position and those seeking employment must do everything in their power to male and maintain a good appearance. Now let each eine of us stop and ask ourselves, "Just what influence have I on those whom I meet day by day"? We can have an influence lad. Would we lose the confidence and respect of anyone by laughing at a. story that was .not clean, . or would we be among those who would be brave enough to say, "I do not care' to be .a party in listening to such' dirt," as well it may be called. We will certainly be much more thought of if we take the latter stand. As far' as Christianity is concerned, many of us are real cowards. Row do we Walk? Our 'carriage or walk is one'Im- portant way in which our character is judged. Unless in some way 'de- formed, we have a great deal, or' in fact almost everything to do with our posture. From aur early days we can be taught to take physical exercise which will help us to stand straight, and have proper use of our. limbs. In his very) late years, if I remember rightly he was aver 80, Rev. T. H. Crossley, the noted evan- gelist, gave a demonstration of Physical culture. One would hardly believe it possible for a man of his years to be es supple as he was. Someone asked him if he ever had a headache, to which he replied, "I never had a headache' in my life. I have been taking- physical exercises since I was a little -`boy" If any young man or woman. was applying for a position, would he or she ex - Ile would want us to do. We must remember that oftimes people are troubled and anxious about happeningsof which we know nothing and that if we were in the same position we would act a great deal worse. Let us be most guarded in the Yon good or ita can be for evil. Where Lord's work. How disgraceful it is to hear of quarrels in God's House. in hes the difference?

The church today in many in- stances is being ruled by men and Women rather than by God, the ,Ruler of the Universe. If we try to .guard our tongues, ourselves, we will be into trouble constantly. but if we ask God to help us moment -by -moment. He will turn that unru y member of our body into a talent. How do we dress and adorn cur feces? Recently there was a writing on the editorial page of:one of our city pavers deploring the way girls dres- sed. In speaking to the writer after- wards. he said what caused him to write it was that he had seen so many girls alilowing themselves to be photographed for publication when they were practieally nude. We, from 'erne to time, read of members of a religious sect who be- lieve in nuditybeing arrested; we look at pictures of savages who have gone back' almost to the fig leaf of Adam and Eve. We think those things belong to the phst ages, but do they? Not if we wa'k along our bathing beaches. The human body is God's greatest masterpiece, but Ile, as far as we can read, never intended that it should be made •a means of temptation- and stn. God also meant that Itis masterpiece should be kept as clean, healthy and beautiful at we can keep it, but He never designed, that we in this age shou'd go 'back to the days of the first inhabitants of this continent and Taint up our faces, so that in some cases, at least, a maximum retail price of 51 cents,. there might be just reason for the with 10 -pound -.lots at 34 cents.
