may be, you would better make some
patient effort to get putt of them"
Indeed, if we will only endeavor
patiently and perseveringly to rid
ourselves of the mote that is in our
own eye we should not find so many
in the eyes of our neighbors 1t will
keep us busy destroying and casting
out the evil that is in ourselves with
out stopping to remark upon the
number and enormity of our neigh
bor's deficiencies. There is enough
trash to sweep from our own door
without calling attention to that be-
fore the door of our friends and
neighbors There is SO much Of
beauty. goodness and nobility in IL
manity it were we'll we should dwell
upon these and try to forget that
which is ugly, wicked and ignoble.
1t is most important to know that we
are as we think and therefore If We
constantly dwell upon and think of
the evil in others it will be found also
to dwell in ourselves in proportion.
We are happy only as we make
others happy, and this can not be
done by calumniation and vilification.
Small mentality, that is, a mind that
is given to the consideration of that
which is unholy, unchaste, impure
of wicked, cannot flower into a life
that is sweet and beautiful, full of
love and harmony. Ralph Waldo
Trine expressed this thought well
when he said, I'VE can't have an ex-
pansive stretch of healthy life with
out an expansive sweep of the mind.
Littleness of mind, jealousy, envy
the tendency to gossip, looking for
the faults rather than the good traits
of others, all have these adverse.

Just Read This Ger and Ger
Before You Throw That Stone
MAN Must Learn Great Deal to Enable Him to Pass
Correct Judgment on Another Mans Acts"

faults of our neighbors are so numer-
GUS and disagreeable; our own are
so few and trivial. Our neighbors
affairs are so easily managed while
our own are so complex and difficult.
Josh Billings once said, "It is easy
enough to mind our neighbor's busi-
ness, but our own sometimes bothers
us and there is much truth in this
homely observation. If one will only
try to realize the fact that the whole
human family is lacking in perfec-
ton, and that none doeth good, no
not one" he will find by serious in
trospection that his faults are about
as numerous as those of his neigh
Dor, and that possibly what they
lack in number they make up in de-
gree. When it comes to faults and
imperfections the entire race are
dwellers in glass houses, and should
therefore be somewhat reluctant in
the matter of throwing stones. Mar
Gus Aurelius had much insight into
human nature as evidenced by his
observation that lone must learn a
great deal to enable him to pass a
correct judgment on another mans
act" and love for humanity and the
charity that should be in the heart
of every one should impel us to act
on the Chinese proverb which says,
1T is better to believe that a man
does possess good quantities than to
! assert that he does not 1.-THE mere
assertion that he does not by no
means makes it's true: indeed, 1t is
a sad thing to know that most criti-
cisms are merely assertions based on
assumptions which have very little
| foundation In truth, Many are the
admonitions and adjurations in Holy
| Writ against Judging and the use of
idle words. We are told to Judge
not that 'ye be not Judged" Eye

man." Judge not according to the

q. And thinkest thou this, o
man. that judgest them which do
such things, and doest the same. that
thou shalt escape the judgment of
God ?" Speak not evil one of
another, brethren. He that speaketh
evil of his brother, and judgest his
brother, speaketh evil of the law, and
judgest of the law" And so we
true as Edmund Burke said, "A very
large part of the mischiefs that vex
the world arise from words" 1t is
well, when about'to comment on the
weakness of frailties of others, to
consider whether or not such criti-
cisms are justified, even from the
standpoint of truthfulness; to inquire
of ourselves if we have been careful
to know whereof we speak, If such
comment or criticism would do good
or evil, knowing that it is a rare
thing for good to come of remarks
as to ones character or weakness.
Witter Bynner offers a thought that
is good to remember
Let me have faith, is what I pray,
And let my faith be strong;
But who am l, is what I say,
To think my neighbor wrong?
Many of the most bitter fueds,
cover years of wicked hating, often
resulting in bloodshed and sorrow to
many hearts, have been begun by
thoughtless, idle and many times un-
warranted remarks. What a miser-
able moral volture is he who lives
off the corps of blackened and assas-
sinated character They are the
scavengers of whited sepulchers
wherein are dead mems bones and

BOYS DREADFUL
SKIN TORTURE
Itched So They Couldn't Sleep. Cure
by Resinol Cost Only $50

Chicago, ILL.,, April 25, 1914: MY
two boys were troubled with little red
pimples on their hands and face. The
larger they got the more they itched
1t got so bad they couldn't sleep at
night. l had to tie mittens on their
hands to keep them from digging
holes in their faces. I tried all kinds
of ointments, but it always got worse.
l sent for Resinol Ointment and Re-
sinol Soap. The second application
relieved them, and they had their first
nights rest in three months. I used
two soc jars of Resnol ointment and
two cakes of Resinol Soap and the
cure was complete. Not a speck has
appeared on their skin since" (Signed)
