PARABLE OF THE PINCH OF
SALT

WHEN l dine at an Hotel, and the

Of SOUP, my first concern is to know
how far he hath put his Thumb in it.
But soon after that | become inter-
ested in the fact that the Soup hath
not been sailed.
Therefore dol look around for the
Salt, and then for the Pepper, and
about the time that | am eating the,

Whereas, when Keturah cookoth

Right And when she Boileth Pota~
toes she saIteth the Water, 50 that
the Potatoes are Sailed all through;
and she knoWeth just how much CT
everything to put in.
Now, there is in life something
which constantly remindeth one of
the added pinch of salt, without
which the whole of life is in the Soup,
and that Soup is flat. stale
and most unproftible. For |
have heard that in every
molecuIe of human blood there is one
atom of iron, and if that atom be
gone, the rest is Of no value, and the
man diSth.
And this. that although that one
atom be but one in two thousand
atoms CT other stuff such as maketh
up blood for the life of man. And |
am told that the specks Of dust in
the air alone give US the beautiful
Blue Sky, and that otherwise, the
heavens would be Black at Noon.
And | have noted in mems lives
how often it appeareth that they have
almost all the qualities which they
need for success, but for the lack of
a pinch of Courtesy, or the trivial
virtue of Punctuality. or some SUCH
like small thing, they fail
