The Pride Of Opinion.

Some men are proud OF their wealth; some
are proud Of their lineage; some are proud Of
their achievements; some are proud OF their
persons, but every mothers son OF us Is proud
OF his opinion,
We are less charitable in regard to.this mat
ter OF opinion than we are in any rther way,
We are proud Of our powers EXPERIMENTATION
and yet, ninety- mine. one hundreths we make
are wasted breath, and idle words. :,
When We fall into an argument with any
one, we do not weigh what the other mar
sRys-we do not even listen. we must be
thinking OF something else to boost up oul
side of the question. How many men. DE-
you suppose, have had their opinions chang
ed In an argument Of this kind? Even the
onlookers or listeners, II there be any, watch
more for amusement than for edification.
The purpose OF such augmentation is no
TO arrive at truth but TO play Brattlebore ant
Shuttlecock With words.
A wise man will not enter into such q dis
~cussion for he o that the end thereof II
mild luDacy-that nothing is to be gained
and something is to be lost by 1t.
The man who thinks that he Is Away
right and that other men are always wronf
who differ with him is q fool.
No man in this mundane sphere has yet ar
rived at all the truth. You have your opin
ion on everything, you do not mind airini
1t. You are sure you are right, but do yor
know that you are mistaken in many In
stancet3 by what means have you arrived a
the whole TRUTH VIII ere Is your particular
Deplhiap Spring.
Faith, Hope, Charity, and the greatest o
these Is charity. At least 1t is q grace NOR,
di fhcult to exercise than either OF the othe
VIC Why can we not be charitable in re-
speot for the opinions of othert? Why can W,
no differ from other men and yet have
high regard for their integrity and honesty II
the matter of opinion?
The Coed Book teS ches US to be charitable
and it neither makes exceptions nor appliel
special cases. We are TO be charitable ir
everything. We ought 10 be charitable ir
this.
