ERRORS OF JUDGMENT.

In spite, of the injunction Of the wise
Judge all mankind favorably.' the
practice generally in vogue, is rather
opposite. And this In the face of the
Jact that we theoretically approve of
that injunction.
And because the theory so widely
clashes with the practice. we find a
state of unrest In the world and among
men. The result is that in passing
Judgment upon Our fellow man. we are
apt to magnify his failings and to min
inlize his virtues; in one word, we are
guilty of errors in our Judgment.
OF course there are those who jus
tify this reprehensible method on the
plea of serving the truth, and while il
- by no means the intention. or the
Gcsire of the writer TO cOndoiie the
wrong or to gloss over impcrfeciions !;
Il Is the error of judgment that oper-
ates disadvantageOusly, and needs to
be corrected before a healthier state of
affairs in society may be expected.
1t seems that the better course in
Judging our fellOw-man would lie to
keep in view, and never to forget his
good qualities or the principle that
there is some good even In the worst
Of us. For If we start to consider the
foiblcs and weaknesses of our fellow.
man, our vision grows duh and dim so
that we cannot discern any bright re-
deeming feature in the ..an to he
judged.
Said that wise teacher Of old by way
Of illustrating his dictum: Imagine
human judgment Us pair Of scales: in
the one are the virtues, in the other
the failings of the fellow-man. The
scale you first touch will cause the
ether to rise. and remove 1t from fair
consideration, and for this reason it
is commendable to touch the scale with
the good qualities. in order that your
Judgment may be mild and favorable.
