Show Be Square. The young man who is tempted to depart from the straight path is apt to imagine that to get and spend stolen money is an easy way to live. But it is, in fact, the hardest way of all. The awful consciousness of guilt presses continually down upon the mind. There is a ghost of remorse and apprehension at every feast, a knife thrust of guilty consciousness in every moment of otherwise happy hours with those who love and trust the unworthy one, a silent but im- banishable companion of rebuke and condemnation in every time of solitude soli-tude the last thought at night, the first in the morning, the terrifying dream of troubled and disjointed sleep.
