the address. Five years of this pass.

TACT BETTER Than COMMAND
Good Idea to Let LEES Criticism and

LESS criticism and more comrade-
SHIP" would be q helpful maxim for
all homes.
It Is easy enough to be pleasant to
the casual acquaintance, but the great
difficulty lies in being decent to those
who are devoted to us-to those who
are ever willing to forgive our short
comings. There is no duty above treat
ing your friends courteously and try
Ing to illuminate the general monot-
ony Of the lives of those you love.
In home life tact will succeed often
where command will fail. Sugges-
tons will go farther than argument.
Direction is SO much better than die
tat1on. Criticism of loved ones is q
vice that takes possession of one like
stimulant, or a drug, once it is en-
couraged. 1t may begin in our so
called high moral standard and hatred
of sin. But once it becomes habit,
it is INDUCED In for the satisfaction it
gives.
An Eden can be ruined by constant
fault-fnding, self1shness, and with
holding the words of praise. A para
disc can be created by small Kindness
es and by thinking sweet and helpful
thoughts Of those about you.
The next time you feel like CRITICS.

something complimentary to him in
stead.
Try it and see if you won't be hap
