EDITOR HERALD:-Apropos ofyour edi-
torial last week, upon the word lightly
spoken to those young in faith would
like to add few words in sorrow be it
said, that this community like many 9TH
ers, has it's buSy-bodies with" the pale

calling themselves Christians who cavil
continually at the faults and failings of
hers and apparently never for a mo-
1nent Consider the divine INDUCTION of
examination. To such as we'll as to
scoffers, l would sayin all charity let him
that thinketh he standeth take heed lest
he fall" Our blessed Lord once in the
form Of humanity was the only slnless
one. Individuals, as we'll as bodies of
Christian people, are not always above
criticism, but let those who criticise, be-
ware of censure and misconsttuine.
Members of the same family who differ
in views, may not settle their troubles by
uncharitable and censorious remarks
neither will theyxalt themselves, by try
ing to pull down their neighbors with Cos
sip and scandal and how much less will
persons in one Christian body or church
help to promote the growth and vigor OF
church, by continually, railing, at and
missions ruing the course of another,
and it's members. Wisely has God or
dained thao the influence of the con-
frmed "busy body is very limited Poo

regard with proper allowance all their
1ttcrance. To such l would say remem-
