ttrates itself all through everything. 1t il
n cloudy morning You meet II pessimist
and you say, what weather todayW He |
answers, "Its going to Storm" and UNI
brella under arm and n waterproof over
coat show that he is honest in that utter
ance On the same block, a minute after, |
YOU meet an optinist, and you say, "What |
weather today" Good weather; this is
only fog and will soon scatter" The |
absence of umbrella and absence Of water
proof overcOat show it is an honest utter |
uuCe.
On your way at noon to luncheon you |
meet an optmistio merchant and you say !
"What do you think Of the commercial
prospcctsf and he saysi GLORIOUS Great
crops must bring great business. We are
going to have such an autumn and winter
OF prosperity as we have never seen" On
your way back to your store you meet
pessimstic merchant. "What do you think
Of the commercial prospectsS' you ASK.
And he answers: "Well | don't know. So
/ much grain will surfeit the country. Farm
er, have more bushels but less prices, and
;he grain gamblers will get their fist in.
There is tine Mckinley bill, and the hay
crop is short in some places, and In the
southern part of Wisconsin they had n
haistorn, and our business IS AS dull rs it
I ever was. You will find the same differ
Cuoe in ..mrut of character y man OF
good reps tut!nn is assailed and charged
/ with some ell C@ed. At the first story the
I ressimlst will believe in guilt. 1.-The papers
said 50, and that's enough. Down with
I hm'
oPTIMIsr AND PEssIMIsT.
The optini.t will say: Il don't believe
word OF it. Gon think that a man that
has been us useful aud seemingly honest
for twenty years could have got oil the
track like that. There are two sides to his
story, and ! will wait to hear the Other
| side before | condemn him" My hearer.
I if You are 10y nature a pessimi,t, make a
. special effort by the grace of God to extir.
I pate the GulOrous aud the hypercritical
from your disposition Believe nothing
against anybody until the wrong is estab
lished by at least two witnesses of integ
rity And if guilt be proved, find ont the
. cNttuuatinE circumstances If there are
/ any.
And then committo memory so that you
c1u quote for yourself and quote for others
! that exquisite thirteenth chapter Of First
Corinthians about charity that suffers
long and is kind, and iopeth all things
and cu,lureth all things. BY pen, by voice,
. in public and in private, say all the good
about people you can think Of, and if there
| he nothing good, then tighten the chain OF
/ muscle on the back eud OF your tongue
and keep the ivory bars OF teeth on the
lower jaw and the ivory bars Of teeth on the
upper jaw locked and the gate Of your lips
tightly closed and your tongue shut up
What a place Brooklyn would he TO live
in, and all the other cities and neighbor
hoods 10 live in, il charity dominated
