OUR WEEKLY MOTTO.
From a heavy batch of entries a verse cent in by Kathleen Warren, 122, Disraeli Street, Gisborne, ■was selected as the winner. Other maxims to be commended were received from Eunice Macintosh, Lcola Keed, Enid Kearney, IJoris Wilson and Jean Small. If you are tempted to reveal A tale someone has told About another, make it pass, Before you speak, three gates of gold. These narrow gates, first, "Is it true? Then, "Is it needful?'' In your mind, Give truthful answer. And the next Is last and narrowest, "Is it kind?" And if to reach your lips at last It passes through these gateways three, Then you may tell the .tale, nor fear» What the result of speech may be.
