THE FAULTS OF OTHERS.

One of the easiest things in the
world is to play the role of the crit
ic. Perhaps that is the reason it is
so often essayed.
None of us like to be subjects Of
criticism. We are quick to censure
the traits of the critics in Others and
yet latent in each of us is that spirit
which leads us to see fault in others
and perhaps to hold up to ridicule the
very things for which we might, our
selves, fairly be criticized.
Many a home is made unhappy by
the spirit which we might, ourselves,
fairly be Critized.
Many a home is made unhappy by
the spirit which prompts its members
to continually find fault in little
things-"faulting" is what it was
termed in the days of the long age

not conducive to happiness. 1t is
nothing more or less than very bad
habit. We cannot make over those
around US and if we could it is very
doubtful if it would prove worth our
while.
1t is mighty good rule to let 9TH
er people live their lives in their own
verse, and if you try you are sure
to come cropper sooner or later.
We can protect ourselves from our
enemies, but Heaven preserve us from
friends.
