Knocking
Now a days people are great
knockers, now Just what I mean
by knocking is that people are
butting into things that do not
concern them in the least, but this
budget is for Stephenville, alone
now you know just who you are
and IL | were you, before l talk
about people and their ways of
getting along would first clean out
my house and then l would go out
and then try to succeed. Before
you try to NEEDLE into othe peoples
affairs or even talk about anybody
be sure what you are telling is
10 hot lie
like the truth" is the worst kind
of a lie. If you must talk see
things first with your own eyes,
don't go by what so and so tells
you, because so and so is lying
when he or she tells you not to say
anything about it, never do a
wrong thing to make friend OIL
even keep one and the person, that
requires you to do so, is wrong
himself. Don't make other peo-
pie think you are saint when
your conscience tells you that you
are nothing but a devil. Now II
you have any faults, or anything
to say about anybody tell him and
not others of what your complaint
is for theirs is no more dangerous
Experiment, JndI vi USih5 Oho thihe
before a mans face and another be
hind his back. When you loose
three minutes meddling and at
tending to other peoples business
you are Just loosing four minutes d
your own good. Beware of knock
ers, they mean nothing good.
