It's a perfectly healthy instinct, and young Jim will Ibe the better for having that gun.| So he takes some money he didn't| earn and gets the gun. The money happens to be his father’s, and the father is quite willlng that he should have it. So Jim has done no wrong. Young Bill on the water front, in- spired by the same perfectly healthy urge, also wants a gun. His urge does not differ a particle from the| urge of young Jim. As a matter of fact, he wants and needs that gun I more than does young Jim, for he has {far fewer pleasures. So—he takes some money which he didn't earn, and buys the gun. But the money happens to belong to some one else's tather and is taken without his con- sent. So Bill has done wrong. Yes, the fact is perfectly plain that Bill is a thief and Jim isn't. But the difference is one of effect rather than cause. The motive that| prompted the gun getting was identical. Up to that point in thelr careers the boys were as alike as two peas in a pod.

Not that I underrate the value of sermong on this subject by the regu- lar experts. But for the one who is strugling in the depths it must be a comfort to know that the chap who's exhorting him has skidded a bit now and then. So as a skidder, rather than a sky pilot, I'm going to write this talk for the rest of my clan. It will not be a sermon. Nor will it point the way to salvation, nor en- large on the merits of repentance. I know little of salvation, having never been sure for more than a few mo- ments that I was saved. Nor do I think that overdue repentance is the way to get saved. It will simply be a plain talk on sinning for sinners by a sinner. If you're not a sinner don’t read i To begin with, I'll make a confes- sion. Most people approach the sub- ject of sin with bated breath and held noses, ac though it were a noxious animal of menacing and horrid attri- butes. I don't—ang let it be stated frankly that I've approached sin the usual number of times. Yet never have I bated my breath nor held my nose. For, indeed, I have never been able to distinguish a very great dif- ference between the roots of good and the roots of évil. The fruits of evil are, I'll grant you, tragically different from the fruits of good. But if you are of a tolerant mind, youwll always think of the causes of things rather than thelr ef- fects. And the causes of much wrong- doing are identical with the causes of much righteousness. * ok % X EFORE we go further it-is well to emphasize the fact that much ¢in isn't gin at all.

RING REELS RHYMES TO ROUT RATS Comes to Aid of Department of Agriculture. O the editor: Am in receipt of a letter from the U. S. dept. of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., which I will copy down @ part of it as follows: F “Dear Sir: Among- the various problems allotted ‘to tIf% bureau is included ‘that of rat control. There is a constantly growing demand for relief from the depredations of rats which indicates an awakened realiza- tion of the great economic import- ance of controlling these pests.” Then the letter goes on to say that the dept. is conducting a publicity campaign to try and get anti-rat movements started all over the coun- try aud then the letter winds up like the following: “This campaign is proving success- ful, but additional posters and press material are greatly needed and we feel that one of. your rhymes would prove a valuable addition to this work and should you feel inclined to contribute it would be. very much ap- preciated.” Well friends T aint wrote one of my rhymes in many a moon and fur- ther and more I don't know what kind of a rhyme would kill any rats| unlest You wrote them with a poison pen and then left them lay around where the rats might read them per- | sonly but still and all the dept. must | know there business and any way | when 1 get & call for help from the old U.

But would like to state first off | that some of my best friends has been rats and lived right in the house | with me and T never heard a squeek | out of them that was not justified | and you might say that we have al- ways had our rats under pretty good control and they have staid in there place and very seldom come upstairs, | but at the same time I know a good many families where the rats done a lot of damage and eat up a great deal of food including cheese which I might say at this pt. that as far as I am concerned the rodent tribe can have all the cheese in the world.

For many peo- ple are esteemed “good” simply be- cause they've never had the desire or courage to depart from the beaten track of convention. Such is the nature of sinning. The | statements seem simple; too obvious, almost, to be worth the writing. Yet if those simple statements were once | accepted by society, and acted upon, sinning would disappear in a genera,, tion and the world would be healed. The sinners would stop being sq dis couraged. The saints would stop be- ing so inflated. They'd get together on a common platform and help each other. The “brotherhood of man” would come at last. But until these facts are accepted, that term must continue to be but a fanciful slogan for the idealists.

You can become just as much of a pest by dwelling on your vices as on your virtues, No, the only effective way to get over a sin is to zet over it.
