1--WE are all ready to criticise, and
have never denied that criticism serves
its own purpose. especially when play
ing round public persons. But, oh!
how slow we are to praisel have
seen many embittered by criticism and
others enfeebled for the lack of a kind
encouragement, but 1 do not come
deserved praise"
The above quotation from Ian Nc
Laren gives US food for thought Are
we criticising every one we come in
contact with2 Whether in private or
public life? Are we slow to praise
Are we embittering others with our
criticisms? Are we enfeebling Others
by the lack of a kind encouraging
word? If so turn about face and de-
termine in our minds that it is better
to spoil a person with deserved prase
than it is to embitter them with un-
just criticism. Make I'D your mind
to-day, this very minute, that every
time you are tempted to criticise that
you will count one hundred and then
stop and see IL you can't find in the
same person you were going to criti-
else something to praise. know you
can if you will only try.-Jane w.
Pennewill, State President.
