Food for Thought

In Rev. Mr.. Harrlson's discourse
at the Episcopal church last We'd
nesday evening, he spoke of the
breath strain which is found
in every ones character. The
strongest character, said the
speaker, possesses IA breaking
strain and in each person that
weakness is of IA different nature.
\ person, no matter how strong
he is in other things. will give
way to temptation, when sufficient
weight is brought to bear upon his
weak spot. So, then, none of us
are in a position to Judge the short
comings of another, which are,
the result of weakness, perhaps
not unlike your own.
Particularly did Mr.. Harrison
speak of the slanderous tongues
being the breaking strain of
character and, while we sat there.
we could not help but feel that
this point brought out, touched so
closely home to us all.
We are so apt to speak dispar-
agingly of our neighbor's short
comings, forgetting the while, that
God made us all alike-so human
so prone to err. Yet it must be
the meanness and the cheapness
and the smallness of our natures
that start our tongues wagging.
Christian people, too, who teach
the little folk in the Sunday
school class, Gods words about
living clean, pure lives, loving
one another" bearing each Others
burdens etc, etc
Sometimes, you know, when we
stop TO think about it. it makes us
feel really ashamed to remember
how much we have given away TO
weight on our breaking strains, y
and how much our vitrol tongues
have wounded the hearts of others.
And then, we are sorry, but it
is too late TO mend matters.
Sometime, we, who are Chris
tians,) that is, We who make pre-
tentions that way will be called
