Very many people harbor the belief
that newspapers are eager to publish
derogatory things. It's a mistake.
There isn't newspaper that could

q passion because a newspaper prints
something about him which he consid-

reflect upon these truths and in silent
gratitude accept mild admonition, lest
worse befall them.
