your neighbours faults. Forget all
the SANDER you ever heard. Forget
the temptations. Forget the fault

good points which make you fond
of them. Forget all personal quar-.

would seem a thousand times worse
than they really are. Blot out, as
far az possible, all the disagreeable-
ness of life; they will come, but will
