KEEPING SILENT

SILENI
There are situations where to bt
silent is to seem untruthful. For
the lovers of truth they are hard tc
meet. But on occasions they mus
be met without fear. Our speaking
out may do mischief, it may caust
us to say something damaging to an
other.
Shall we sacrifice the party OF
shall we sacrifice our own feelings
surely, in the choice. there can bt
no hesitation. Every one of us is oc'
c~asionally called upon to be silent re-
garding something associated witt
another. IF We speak there is not
only inevitable loss for the other
but loss for ones self, in kindness
and in self control.
The oftener we meet this situation
the stronger we grow, the mort
closely we become identified with the
courage and the consideration and
the beauty that go with silence. There
are so many things in life that we
ought to be silent about, and nearly
always they are unpleasant. If every
one could take the unpleasant as it
enters consciousness and let it perish
there, what a burden would be lifted
off the world.
IN this good work we can all be
active, it is worth any ones endeaVor
and may justify a Fife in all other
respects a failure. At the end OF
each day it should be A comfort to
every one Of rs to be able to think
that we have rot added to the sum
Of il-feeling either i'll ourselves OF
in others.
There are those who seem to think
it a joke to report that this person
has made an ill-natured comment
about that other person or that 9th
err persons dislike this person There
are even those who are cruel enough
to tell Others that they are disliked
by certain people or have been cri-
%ticised. With appalling frankness they
very often quote and give amt
They make a huge contribution to
ill-feeling, Often they start resent
ments that lead to dreadful conse-
quences, destroying friendship, ineit-
ing far-reaching retaliation. They
have no conception of the wonder
and of the reward Of silence.
To enjoy silence is a rare faculty.
