A celebrated and illustriout author has
written: "He who looks for a friend
without impeIfections, will never find
that for which he seeks.p We love our
selves with all our faults, and we should
love our neighbors likewise." Consid-
ering the source from which the above
quotation comes, it leaves considerable
weight Yet there are many of us who
will not condone fault seen in any one,
and who are always on the alert to find
the moat in our brothers. eve. We are
great deal like Marc Antony, when
making his ovation over the dead body
of Cesar; while protesting to be Brutus'
friend, we are exposing Caesars words
and calling Brutus an honorable man"
with an inuendo, that is all the while in
flaming the minds of the populace. "And
yet Brutus is an honorable man ~ We
are alike all other little towns, 1--WE have
our exit and our entrance, and each man
in his time plays seven parts, his acts be-
ing seven ages" But we are in the front
now, and any one going along our street
can hear the sound of busy workmen's
tools as they are erecting that which is
the wealth and beauty of all towns and
villages.
Blackberry storm is upon US; but it is
