BE HONEST.

Be honest, boys and girls, in all your dealings. Never let the least crookedness enter into your life. Be honest with yourself. Too many people try to deceive themselves. Let there be no dark corners in your heart, into which you do not wish to let God's light. Let there be no secret chamber into which you are afraid to enter to see what it contains.
Young people get the habit of being untrue to themselves, of shunning whatever is painful or unpleasant. They strive to satisfy themselves that everything is all right, yet their conscience troubles them, and they are afraid to look into the matter to see how they stand. A good examination of conscience in God's holy presence would be very helpful in clearing away the cloud that may harbor a great deal of dishonesty. Be honest with your neighbor. In all your dealings be open, clear, aboveboard.—Anon.
