PRIDE.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1881

Pride is the stupidest of human per
versions
Self-esteem is essential, but in tn,
wise man 1t is made beautiful by a sin
cere humility, while in the fool it i;
hardened and uglified by ignorance.
| Pride has as ma ny forms as the devil
In each it apes some virtue-as doe.
the devil also
| Much that We call patriotism is ,
diseased national egotism.. 1t is no
patriotism that leads men to shoot thos,
of another country; it is vicious self
conceit
Whoever despises another is an ego
fist. If we seek to understand thos.
we meet. instead of seeking to domi.
nate, regulate or judge them, we shall
love everybody. even criminals.
The first business of a Judge. 2
preacher. a teacher or a parent is tf
understand. This cannot be done with.
out humility.
The prime trait of a gentleman is
that he does not have a keen sense O,
his deserts. The man who thinks he
deserves the devotion of good woman
the alteration of children and the Low.
atty of friends ought to be kicked. A
real man is surprised constantly and
grateful for all proofs of love.
The fanatic is person wholly drunk
with pride of opinion. 1t Is wrong tn
call him man of faith, for no one
can have faith who is not willing to
hear the other side.
The cheapest form of virtue is that
which loves to talk of itself It is also
suspicious.
One who is always prating of purity
one 80
leaning bit toward uncleanness. The
bully is a coward at heart
1t is hard to be envied and criti-
clsed but 1t is worse to be universally
praised. Few men can stand praise
without becoming vain and seIf-cen-
tered.
A real man gives himself out to he
just what he is. A proud man is a liar.
for he wants to be esteemed for more
than he is.
Pride is the one thing, more than all
others. that offends people. Nobody
sympathizes with a proud man. Every
body instinctively wants to take him
down peg. He is ridiculous. Every
body laughs when he stubs his toe.
Pessimism is a form of pride. 1t is
usually held by persons of disordered
lives. Pessimism is the religion of the
underworld. 1t is always. in whoever
manifests it,, symptom of spiritual
dirt.
The proverb says that pride goeth
before fall. That is because pride
is stupid it is an offensive form of
mania; the man who has it is approach
ing a downfall "As soon as God for
sakes us our own heart is lifted up"
When we become conscious of a
fault and are filled with humility that
fault is not noticeable to others; but
faults leap in the eyes of our friends
when our own pride refuses to see
them.
Humble, inconspicuous people,. those
who are in no way celebrities, are usu-
ally much pleasanter COMPANIONS comp than
cism kindly and strive to amend.
The notion that assurance and push
and forwardness get most out of life
is erroneous. Nothing accomplishes
more in the long run than genuine
modesty. "The meek shall inherit the
earth"
