Some times In our business transac-
lions We come In contact with men
whose Ideas differ from our own; and
our ideas Of right may differ from those
of our neighbors From my poin, of
view my neighbor may not act honorably
In certain matter; but from his view.
point he may act an honorabio part.
But when convinced of wrong, the true
man will make the ''amende honorable"
Then again, in q certain transaction I
may. according to my ideas of right, do a
thing / believe is perfectly honorable,
but, In the Judgment Of another, my
action may be ss questionable as the act

the moral side of the question as 1t re.
lates to my part of the transaction; but
my mind may be fully aroused to the
moral delinquency Of my neighbor. In
either case the motive must be taken
into account. I may misjudge my neigh
Dor. or he may misjudge me. Motives
have largely to do with moral questions.
THAT mercy to others show, that mercy
show to me-" Is motto we might all
wisely and probably use In our earthly
relations. or we may probably recall
Robt. Burns words:

am sure that many of our heart burn
ings and Misunderstanding In life grow
out OF our failure to cultivate charitable
hearts and balanced Judgments. We do
not intentionly misjudge nor willfully
SANDER another. / am constrained to
believe that II we could see ourselves 40

selves In the place of others before pass
