To Conquer Faults.

You will find it less easy to uproot
faults, than to choke them by gaining
virtues. Do not think of your faults;
still less of others faults; in every per-
son who comes near you look for what is
good and strong; honor that; rejoice in it;
and, as you can, try to initiate; and your
faults will drop off like dead leaves, when
their time comeS.-J. Ruskin.
