The BeIittIer
70. S. MARDEN, in Success"

y. >. MARDEN, IN success
Beware Of people who are con-
stantly belittling others. finding
flaws and defects in their charac-
tiers, or Slyiy insinuiting that they
are not quite what they ought to
be. Such persons are dangerous,
and not to be trusted. A diSparag-
ing MUD is Il limited, ruttv, un-
healthy mind. it can neither see
nor acknowledge good in others.
II is a jealous mind; it is positively
painful to it to hear others spoken
we'll of, praised, or commended for
any virtue or good point. If it
can not deny tie existence of the
alleged good, it will SEEK to min.
imizc it by II malicious if" or
but" or try in some other way to
throw doubt on the character Of
the person praised.
A large, healthy, normal mind
will see tie good in another much
more quickly than the evil, but a
narrow, 5elittling mind has an eye
only for faults.-f for the unloyely
and the crooked. The clean, the
beautiful. the true and the mag
unanimous are too large for its
vision. 1t delights in tearing down
or destroying, but it is incapable
of upbuildiag.
Whenever You hear person try.
ing to belittle another, discard him
from your lis5 of friends, unless
YOU can help him to remedy his
fault. Do not hatter yourself that
those who tell you of the failings
of other people. and criticise and
hold them up to ridicule, will not
treat You in the same way when an
opportunity presents itself. Such
people are incapable of true friend
ship, for true friendship helps. i'll
stead of binders; it never exposes
the weak point in friends char
acter, or suffers any one to speak
i'll of him.
One of the finest fruits Of cul-
ture is the power to see the man or
woman whom God made in his own
image, and not the one who is scar
red by faults and deficiencies. 1t
is only the generous, loving soul
who ever attains to this degree OF
culture. 1t is only the broad, char
table, magnanimous, great-hearted
man or woman who is blind to the
defects Of others, and enlarges
their good qualities.
An opportunity of associating
with people vino see the best in
stead of the worst in us is worth
far, far more to US than an oppor-
tunity to make money. Itincreases
a hundredfold our power to develop
noble characters.
