LIVING BEYOND ONE’S MEANS.
Archbishop Glennon says that one
of the dominant weaknesses of our
day is living beyond one’s means.
Spending more than we earn is a
form of injustice, for some one must
suffer through our folly. Unpaid
debts are generally the result of liv
ing beyond one’s means. And bad
debts are only another form of re
taining ill-gotten goods. Restitution
must be made as soon as possible.
There is little hope for the future of
the young man who starts out by ac
cumulating debts and the bad habits
that usually go with then. He takes
no thought of the morrow while en
joying the pleasure of today; but the
morrow comes and brings its penali
ties for spendthrift imprudence. Op
portunities are closed to the reckless
spender, and he finds himself bound
by thriftless habits and unable to “get
anywhere” in life. He pays the penal
ty of his recklessness in a lifetime
wasted in fruitless struggle.
~ The number of persons dependent
on charity in our cities is on the in
crease. A statistician has calculated
that only about one person in ten
saves any money even during his
years of greatest earning capacity. In
our large cities one person out of
every ten who die is buried in a pau
per’s grave. The appetite for pleas
ure, for fast living, is growing instead
of decreasing. The children of today
spend much more for entertainment
than did their fathers. And there is
little liklihood that the tide will turn
soon. We are becoming a nation of
money-mad financiers on the one hand
and spendthrift pleasure-seekers on
the other. Both vices lead to dishon
esty. But the spendthrift who lives
beyond his means is doubly dishon
est. He wrongs not only his creditor,
but himself. And he prepares himself
to become a further burden on society
in his declining years.—The True
Voice.

BURN DOWN CHURCH.
Clarksville, Tenn., April 14.—Sat
urday night a Baptist church between
Oakwood and Stewart county line was
set on fire and destroyed by some
white southerners, who had objected
to a race church in their neighborhood.
It bore the name of Parham’s Chapel
and was the worshipping place of the
best and well respected families of
both counties. The fire was sup
posed to be the work of an incendiary.
The sheriff w'as unable to find the in
■endiary.
Will N. Johnson has filed for the
nomination for public defender. He is
a capable young lawyer of our race,
a graduate of the state university, and
has been practicing here for three
years. We believe he has the ability to
fill the office and we urge our people
to stand unitedly back of him. TWO
