latter end of Job was more blessed than his beginning. When the Lord said to Moses, "Come now, I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people out of Egypt;" he hesitated, saying, "Who am I?" "They will not believe me;" and "I am not eloquent." But when he obeyed the call and went, the Lord went with him, the people believed, the army of Pharaoh was overthrown; and Moses became the first emancipator, a great leader of men and the greatest lawgiver in the history of the world. OAK HILL BE'S Be Honorable. Never do that which will cause you afterwards to feel ashamed. Be Honest. Never deceive or take that which belongs to another. Be True. Stand firmly for the truth and be faithful, though you stand or work alone. Be Pure. Shun the impure and abhor whatever will corrupt good morals. Be Polite. Help the weak and never by word or act offend another. Be Prompt. If you have done badly, hasten with your apology before you are called to account. Be Thoughtful.

Lincoln. Freedom. True freedom is the freedom to do right, and for it good men contend. The liberty to do what one may wish to do, is not freedom, for that may be wrong. Tact. Tact is the ability to please rather than offend, by saying or doing the right thing in a pleasant way at the right time, ignoring petty slights and insults and leading disagreeable people to become your friends. Blessed is the teacher who expects much from his pup
