Hatred for Wronqs.

Why should we let our hearts grow
hard in hatred of any because of real
or fancied wrongs? If it is n real
wrong someone has done us, he has
hurt himself more than he can hurt
us. If we are just. we shall fad many
things we think wrongs only fancied
ones, or things that really do not mat
ter. Remember the things that should
make you glad. If the world looks
dark, look within and see if you your
self are casting shadow on your sun
shine.
