Milne, M.A. Honesty and Truthfulness •0) In the long run .this matter of honesty and truthfulness, whether in our ordinary social relatioughips, in our industry and commerce, or hi our thinking, is a very inward matter. IL is a matter of bats•; honest with onrselven and with G.4 "To thine cwn sell be ,true, An it rectory, Mr, Oldham, who is a will follow au the night the day, native _,f Oh.atsw..rth, Ont„ is a Thou canal not then be false to any graduate of Wycliffe College Toronto I man." The ultimate question is whether you have an Inward spiritu- al treasure which matters mere thou all the world. There is one ming this is off as overlooked by rehg'ines people, and `ars IL, that -we must have a reve't.nee for truth itself, end must be honest in all our dunking and believ,ng, even when that is a little anrnintortnble. Young people are often dis'ro'bed by doubts about the thin5s that they have been accustcme 1 to believe. They come across• new ideas that do not seem to fit in with their religious faith. Tee,/ e.metimes feel like closing their minds, in a kind of panic, and refusing to face their doubts. Young people are often the target for the propagators of a type of religion which is neither healthy nor sound, They stonld always be sceptical when efforts are made to bully `lien into staking confessions regarding their beliefs. They should follow the example. of the Apostle Andrew and test the quality of the doctrine which they are being asked to swallow. Our Pith Is the mist precious thing we have, and is not to be trifled web. When we read tate Gospel story, we cannot help seeing that amid ail the evil things in men's hearts and lives that ou: Lord condemned with unsparing words, the tibiae, he condemned moat witheringly of all was hypocracy.
