Every man and woman in every
country on the face Of the globe, has
his or her infirmities of temper and
disposition, V .ch require forgiveness
from their fellow man, peculiarities
which should be overlooked; prejudices
which should be avoided; innocent
habits which should be indulged; fixed
opinions which should be treated with
respect; particular feelings and delica-
cies which should be consulted, and all
this may be done without the slightest
violation Of truth or any infringement
OF religion. These are indeed the sac
rlfices which repay n man III the de-
cline of life, for all he has yielded in
the commencement, this makes pa
rent delight in his children, and repose
on them when his mind and body are
perishing away and he fastening ON to
the end ofall things. Truly, we should
look over tie faults Of others, for "if
We forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Heavenly Father for
give yours"
