A Soft Answer.

Recently an old pastor, whose wears
of experience were many, was talking
with a younger man just in his first
pastorate. The younger pastor was
having some little trouble in managing
folks. Without entering into any de-
tails the older pastor gave it as his
judgment that no one was obliged to
fight all who opposed him. It was far
better not to see that people opposed.
Summing up his own experience, the
older pastor testified that a soft answer
did turn away wrath, for ns had tried
it many times, and had not found it to
fail.
1t is lesson we all need to learn.
Children seem instinctively to desire to
fight back. or at least to talk back.
We must have the last word to save
onr honor, and give as good as we get.
The least show Of opposition or anger
Is signal Tor an outburst on our part.
But it is a very bad instinct, for it gives
no satisfaction to us, and only makes
the anger, or sharp words with sharp
words.
The best policy, II no other higher
motive controls, is not to meet anger
with anger, or sharp words with sharp
words, for we are likely to be put at a
disadvantage, and in addition we stir
up further strife instead of stopping it.
In most cases our friends, or even our
enemies, are hasty in their anger or
their opposition, and il they don't say
so much as to make them too proud to
stop, they will usually yield and be glad
to have their indiscretion overlooked
When we 60 in to resisting by words
as angry and ill-advised We make the
reconciliation much harder. Not sell
dom, also. we beat the other party at
their own game, and get to be the
chief offender.
The remedy is in learning to give
the soft answer. To do this we must
learn the lesson of self-cOntrOl. How
eyer hot our wrath may burn, we must
not let our lips express 1t. Instead, our
first words at least must be the we'll
considered words OF the one who wishes
to avoid strife. A few experiments
will convince you that the Wise Man
knew what he was about when he re-
commended the soft answer to turn
away wrath.
