of our leaders. Our way
probably differs from others
because, instead of seeking
a low price through the chan
mel of cheap values, good
enough linen but with blem-

way of hugging cost a little
closer.

Sandal mongers can learn
a lesson from the story of a
woman who freely used her
tongue to the scandal of 9th
ers and made a confession to
the priest of what she had
done. He gave her a ripe
thistle top and told her to go
in various directions to
scatter the seed one by one.
Wondering at the penance,
she obeyed and then return
ed told the priest. 10 her
amazement he told her to GO
back and gather the scattered
seeds, and she objected that
it would be impossible; he
replied that it would be more
difficult to gather up and de-
stroy all the reports she had
circulated about others. Any
thoughtless, careless child
can scatter a handful of this
tie seeds before the wind in a
moment, but the strongest
and wisest man cannot gath
er them again. So the SLAM
derer may scatter seeds of
dlscord that no effort can re.
move and the grave can
scarcely cover.
