creature God did not create-a thing
self made, be it male or female, that
hated, despised and abhorred; a
thing self-created, self pitied and alb
normally self loved.
This self-created creature is the
chronic crouch that walks here and
there in every town and community
searching for happiness that he may
destroy it. Flowers and children,
because they represent beauty and
love, he detests. He reads as he
runs that all men are liars and all
women but creatures of evil.
In summer he reviles the bright
sunshine and hates the green hills.
In winter he reviles the cleansing
snow and the purifying frost. The
bitterness Of gall and wcrmwood is
within his heart.
Children fee from him and his
wife can be classed among the mar
tyrs. Men shun him and the world
hates him. From an early age he
walks this earth spreading unhappi-
ness and unbelief--a maker of evil
and discard. ..a..-
Let us throw the x-ray of self-ex-
animation into our own hearts and
search out the little microbe that
has tendency to multiply and
produce, in time, the hated crouch.
There is too much love and sunshine
in this old world of ours to spoil it
with canker of selfshness. Sank
