There are some men who cannot see
any good in anything that they have not
had hand in. Even glass of water has
enemies, who shout that it is impure and |
not fit to drink, while others find fault with |
the atmosphere they breathe. Fault find |
ing is one of the things that is the easiest in |
the world for some people to preach a SER
mon upon. This man doesn't behave az he |
should, another does not go to church as
often as his neighbor Smith, while another
who attends the church regularly fails to
pay his honest debts. Thus the world
moves on and the sun shines upon the Just,
and unjust alike without regard to station
position or creed.
