On our criticism of others, let US re.
member that we have faults which oul
friends have to excuse. How much
would be left of us il all those who see
inconsistencies in US should clip away
from our character and reputation? II
is an invariable rule that those who
make the toughest with the names Of
others are those who have themselve:
the most imperfections. The larger
the beam in your own eye, the more
anxious you are about the mote il
somebody else's. Instead of going
about town slashing this mans bad
/ temper and the otker mans falsity
and this woman's hypocrisy and that
ones indiscretion, go home with the
ten commandment as a monitor and
make list of your own derelictions.

scribe, yet when you received your pa

friends were not mentioned. A good
way to avoid all of this is to kindly in
