PROPER JUDGMENT OF MANKIND.
Not by Weaknesses. but by Positive
Good Achieved.

When we reflect that life itself, con.
Eidered in its physical manifestations.
is a process of oxidation; when we re-
member that the nerves of those who
accomplish most for others are in
svitably the most fretted by the cor
rosion Of the chemical reactions which
make possible the activities of physical
existence; when we know that under
the calm or phlegmatic exterior of
men Of great achievement there is the
latent consciousness Of the sum of all
the suffering 1t has cost them, we can
not afford to Judge them by their weak
nesses. The man who, however blind
ly, follows at his own expense, the i'm
pulses of his sense of duty, is to be
Judged by the positive good he has
achieved--not by his negations. When
we do consider these, when We judge
the evil in the greatest and strongest
nature by the consciousness of the
evil In our own, We can better under
stand why after such self-judgment,
Lincoln, aware of sharing and being
acted on by all the forces of period
Of delirium, should continually repeat:
"Oh, why should the spirit of mortal
be proud ?"-William Vincent Byars.
