ing. Lies that are not so considered. The subtleties of distinctions required. Examples of implied and acted lies. 3. BENEFITS THAT FOLLOW DISASTERS. Benefits that have arisen out of floods, fires, earthquakes, wars, etc. 4. HASTE FOR LEISURE. How the speed mania is born of a vain desire to enjoy a leisure that never comes or, on the contrary, how the seeming haste of the world has given men shorter hours off labor and more time for rest, study, and pleasure. 5. ST. PAUL'S MESSAGE TO NEW YORK. Truths from the Epistles pertinent to the great cities of today. 6. EDUCATION AND CRIME. 7. LOSS IS THE MOTHER OF GAIN.

The weakness of organized philanthropy as compared with the giving that gives itself. 11. THE ECONOMY OF ORGANIZED CHARITY. The other side of the picture. 12. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
