FIFTEEN GREAT MIsTAKEs.-It is a
great mistake to set up our own stand.
ard Of right and wrong, and judge peo-
pie accordingly. 1t is great mistake
to measure the enjoyment Of others by
our own; to expect uniformity Of opin-
ion in this world; to look for judgment
and experience in youth; to endeavor
to mould all dispositions alike; not to
yield in immaterial trf1es; to look for
perfection in our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what cannot
be remedied; not to alleviate all that
needs alienation, as far as lies in our
power; not to make allowances for the
infirnities Of others; to consider every
thing impossible which we cannot per.
form; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able to
understand everything. The greatest ol
all mistakes is, "to live for time, when
