World.

True pride Is a good thing. II
inspires higher motives and better
actions. But false pride is bad.
Some people are proud because
they possess a little mote Of this
worlds goods than their ueighbors;
this is pride OF wealth, and is a
false pride.
Some are proud because they
are better educated know more
than their neighbors. This sort
of pride is not so bad; but it such
people would only reflect how lit
tie they know in comparison to
what is to be known, they would
better realize how little they have
to be proud of after all.
Some people, though poor, are
too proud to work. This Is mean
pride. Work is honorable. The
idler is no use to himself or herself
or to anybody. but is a dead ex-
pense and burden upon honorable
people who earn livlihood and
have an excuse for living.
A few people are as "proud as
Lucifer" without having a solitary
thing to be proud of. They have
neither wealth, knowledge, or wis
dom. They are poor. proud fools.
