younger children, an ] 1t was fine for
them.
Miss Mary league, their teacher,
gave them great deal of encourage
men. She has her soul in her work
anC loves her children. She has good
influence over them. She not only
teaches them their literary work but
has little Sunbeam band organized
and they have their meetings at
school, and once each month they
have 1t at church.

says she Is going to ask the Sunday
school to remain to hear the next one

I, There are two words In the English
language which causes more heart
aches tbeside5 death and crime) than
all the others combined according to
my weak Judgment. They are criti-
cism and misunderstanding. They're
both long and they cause trouble of
long standing, trouble that hurts,
trouble that causes tears to flow
without ceasing, neighbors not to
speak, church members to sur each
other, blows, fights, law suits, yes,
even death.
If every human being that has ever
had difficulty with any one, will
trace 1t to tha bottom it will probably
be one of these two words. Why do
we misunderstood each other. do you
know? Thousands of people are liy-
ing together and drifting farther and
farther apart each day just because
/ they don't understand. Why don't we
all make It rule to understand
everything and criticise nothing and
We Will improve ourselves and the
world more than anything we can do.
Just change the two words TO eaconr-
age and undefstand, and see what q
change It will make in the home,
school, church and community.
When we do the best we can we
don't need criticism. When a child
does q task we must not criticise it
| too harshly and do 1t over, but en-
courage it. 1t Is just as easy to do
one as the other IL we once get ac-
customed to it. Many husbands and
wives are living life OF misun6sr-
standing. Why do we misunderstand?
| We do not know. Let us stop until we
understand, then things will work
smoothly. criticism will soon disap-
pear out OF our thoughts.
! Let us go to bed saying encourage
/ and understand; get up saying the
/ same, and we willSSoon be able to
enjoy the beauties around US.
