The Soft Answer

1t is hard telling just what attitude
to take with regard to the allegations
and alleged misstatements and unklnd
remarks of other people. 1t does NOT
pay to be too thii skinned. Besides,
the other fellow may have been mis-.
quotEd: and even II he said It, this
saying sometimes does not make 1t SO.
Ignoring a thing of that sort brings II
to the quickest death in the world and
turns bad feeling into good. There is
a book that says: "a soft answer
turneth away wrath."-Los Angelee
Times.

Words and Thouaht.

The gift of words is sometimes
spoken of disparagingly by practical"
men. But words are merely the sym
bols of ideas, and nobody really has
the gift Of words who has not also the
gift Of thought. Before one can talk
with power he first must be able to
think. There never was a great speak.
or who was not also a real thinker.
