GOOD ADVICE.
To use terse and homely phrase, my
friends, let us mind cur own business. There
is enough to decide in our own lives; let us
be unmindful of the affair of others, except
in so far as we can be helpful and of real
benefit. Let us be charitable 10 all our con-
clusions, mindful Of the fact that we so often
need the cloak of charity ourselves. AS we
would wish to be Judged. so let us judge
others-always with a kindly spirit even
with belief In the better part Of self. Strew

your life so full Of sunshine that evil reports
Will find no place where you are. Stop

spot in this world, and where you see
irown there you throw q smile, and whether
1t be morn, dusk or night, let the sunny side
Of your nature always be at full meridian
