Build Up Your Character by

ours to us as an object of criticism.
1t will prove an interesting experiment
and will help another while we help
ourselves.
There is nothing more disastrous in
the way Of mental processes than dwell
ing on the ugly, painful and dsagreeable
side Of life. 1t is not only waste Of
time and energy, but II Is a criminal
waste of these precious things.
1t does no good and il does great
harm
There are occasions and situations
where the dark aud painful and disagree
able things OF life must be mentioned;
must be recognized, that they may be
changed.
! The child who falls In the dirt Of the
street must be recognized as a soled
child, needing to be washed and clothed
in fresh garments. II would be folly to
smile and say: Pun along. child; you
are clean" The child might not reeog
nize it's own need of bath, but others
would recognize it without making the
changes necessary to its best well being.
! But it would be an even greater folly
to sit for days and weeks dwelling In
| thought on the accident which had be-
! fallen the child, and trying to obtain data
Of other similar accidents to other chill
dren, forgetting all the beautiful throngs
of clean, swet children swarming over
| the earth.
| That is precisely what thousands OF
| Intelligent human beings are doing with
their minds and voices.
/ They are emphazing the faults, follies
I and misdeeds of the people they know,
especially the people they dislike, and
! they are ignoring the lovely things which
exist all around US everywhere. They
are doing nothing to lessen or change the
evils they deploTe, but are preparing
| their own natures to develop the same
traits by continually talking of them.
If you know some one you dislike very
much, begin today and look for sons
praiseworthy quality ih that person to
think about and to talk about.
1t will prove an excellent distnfectant
for your mini, instead CT inviting the
contagion of the unpleasant things you
find in another, by thinking and talking
of them.
Pass as lightly and rapidly as possibli

human nature.
