TRUSTING ONE ANOTHER

81 would rather feel that my

said a woman the other day. speak
Ing to n friend who had gone to her
for advice. Unfortunately, there are
some of us who do not entirely agree
with her; unfortunately, too, there
are others who, while we might say
that we do, would not realize what
we were saying; but, luckily, there
are few OF us who would agree and
who would mean what we said, says
Charleston News Courier. The reason
tor this disagreement is to be found in
the fact that we do not all appreciate
the value Of other mems faith in us,
nor how far-reaching in its effects such
Il faith is. We are for the most part
content with believing in ourselves, ar
guing, perhaps, that as long as we keep
that faith it is imnaterial whether 9TH

however, us sturdy and fiourishing a

growth, and such attention is found
largely IN the things we do to make
ourselves worthy of the trust of others.
If we depend entirely upon our faith
in ourselves to make others place their
faith In us also we shall be disap-
pointed, because while certain de-
