A story was recently told OF

of the hard times upon his con
gregation. AT the conclusion of
one of his sermons he said !:
Let everybody in the house who
pay their debts stand up In
stantly every man, woman and
child, with one exception arose
to their feet. He seated the
crowd and then said: Let every
man who is not paying his debts
stand up" The exception noted,
a care-worn, hungry individual,
clothed in his last summer suit,
slowly assumed a perpendicular
position and leaned upon the back
of The seat in front of him. How
is it my friend. inquired the
minister, that you are the only
man in this large congregation
who is unable to meet his obi.

There is perhaps no better

ness to acknowledge his errors
and to welcome the criticism
which points them out to him.
1t is rarely difficult for us to lind
an excuse for ours, IL its an ex-
cuse we are looking for, 1t is,
in fact, always easier to spring
to an angry defense of ourselves
than to calmly acknowledge the
justice OF another's righteous
condemnation of some wrong ac-
ton of ours; but two refuse to
adopt this latter course, when we
know we are in the wrong. is to-
reveal to our own better con
scioupess and often to the con.
seriousness of others, an essential
defect in our character. He is

he is weak; he is already totter
