Love and Jealousy

John Horace Lockwood, in the Mother s
 Magazine.
 Jealousy develops very early in our lives In fact, even as children, we felt jealous of other children-of their pretty clothesfi their toys, and playthings.
 In our school days, because of jeal- ousy over the rapid advancement of other pupils, we have worked harder per- haps, so that we, too, might reach higher marks in our studies; thus we have gone ahead of our schoolmates.
 Because we have been jealous of our neighbours prosperity, we have developed ambition; because we have been jealous of wife or husband. we have tried more strenuously to please them; because we have jealously guarded our countrys s honor, we have secured place second to none among the nations of the world.
 Jealousy is a subtle passion, and must be carefully analysed. We must never lose sight of the fact that it is a de- vastating monster, which if allowed to fasten itself upon our imagination too strongly, will grow to terrific propor- tions.
 The force that is expressed in jealousy may, if wisely governed and guided into helpful channels become the source of achievement that shall uplift and aid in the worlds work, while if left to take its destructive course it may bring down the walls of the temple about the ears of an embryonic Samson. ' Unreasoning jealousy is a blighting curse.
 All manifestations of jealousy that are evident to others show weakness of char acter, and no indications of Jealousy can be used to measure the love of man or woman.
 A mans love, or the lack of it, Is not to be known by his evidences of jealousy or the lack of them.
 The greater the love the fewer will be the manifestations of jealousy.
