There is no necessity for us to be
priullsh or goody-goody. --The world
has no room for either the Pharisee or

It is up to all of us not to trifle with
the things that are dangerous. It @.
man cares to risk his life, that is his
"responsibility. There is plenty with
whjch to enjoy ourselves without our
jeopardizing the best in us.
Around us. there is plenty of wrong
and hardship and peril without our di-
recting others on the wrong path. For
a man to do it purposely, with the set
intention of adding to life's load, is
'diabolical. Yet some.do It.
.Some call upon us to broaden out.
Yes, but evo may be so broad that we
lire shallow. We may be as broad as
the moor, itself --and as barren, Our
• so-called breadth may be another name
for the inspulse to ohange'signposts.
1t is wise, therefore; never to approve
what we know to be wrong. It will re-
act upon us if we do. We are made of
better. stuff than that, and for doing
much better things.
No word' would be bad enough or
strong enough if, when we had. -asked
our way, someone had Callously point-
ed out We wrong direction. No one
in his lenses would do that sort of,
thing willingly. Yet In moral matters
30n10 of us are constantlydoing it.
Those who, by their indulgence and
selfisltuess, point to a false road, are
soon revealed. Their speech and eye
and general deportment indicate to the
world that they are not safe guides,
We can only be true to our hest
selves by sharking our road accurate-
ly, and by helping others to tread the
right road. •Get, your priuciplee sound,

out of the bet.,:
It -isn't to be suppysed that Regan

The thoughts ran through his brain
like lightning.. Like fed hot darts
they stabbed him to madness. "Los-

• nd his brows fell harmlessly short.
But his tongue was unhampered and
unrestrained.

excitedly. "'He'll have to redo the
