"Unkind Judgment"
tContr!butedl

The tongue is a little member
that boasteth great things; it has
its uses and its abuses, and some
times we think its abuses out
number its uses. One of its
abuses is "unkind judgment"
Public opinion is an important
factor in commercial life. 1t is a
common fault of human kind to
pronounce unkind judgment on
our fellow men. We have a per
feet right to form our own opin-
ions, but not always the right to
utter them. We must be sure
we are justified in speaking if
our words are going to express
judgment. In many towns the
size of ours, the commonest form
of unkind judgment is gossip"
When we meet as neighbors or
friends or in the social circle and
tell the news, if we confined our
selves to facts, that would be
well and good; we'd have no use
for newspapers.
But we're all addicted to ex-
pressing our opinions and judg-
ment on the things we hear, and
as they go from friend to friend
they grow bigger and before we
realize it, we have damaged
beyond repair somebody's repu-
tation, and after it's too late, we
see the suffering and Humiliation
we might have spared that per
son had we thought before we
spoke.
Unkind judgment is a great
sin, a presumption, we take on
ourselves the place of judge,
which we have no right to, es-
peclally as we are sinners our
selves, and it is more than likely
we would have done no better
than the enc we condemn if we
had been IN his or her place. In
telling things, if we make no
mistatenN-y$, the chances are,
we are Wfos.y in our conclusion
and at any rte, we may leave
a wrong Impression, which often
proves as lI5urious as an untruth.
Unkind Judgment is very often
caused by rur own stupid hearts,
that have given place to envy,
spite, love Qt revenge, selhshness,
pride, cS some other evil feeling.
If we'd cIliy stop'to analyze ourI
feelings we'd find the devil
prompting Jar more than justice
and a desire to- help some one.
The unhappieSt man or woman
on earth is one who lives to cen.
scr their fellow men; we don't
have to f1atter simply say pleas
ant things and leave the others
unsaid. Try to see good in all
we know. There is good in
everybody, and we will soon find
ourselves popular, happy, and
i, fill citizens.

The home OF George Newell was
the scene of a very pretty occasion
Wednesday evening when about fifty
of his neighbors and friends gath
cred to tender him a surprise party
AS this was to be a complete sur
prise Mr.. Newell was invited out to
spend the evening at one of the
near neighbors. While on his way
he met several teams and they asked
him if he was not going to attend
the meeting at the chapel and he
answered mo. l did not know there
was to he any" He kept on his
way and finally reached his destina-
tion and the thought of the teams
had slipped his mind. After he had
stayed for about half hour the
party with him suggested going
home but he was not easily persuad-
ed and kept on talking. In short
time an automobile came into the
yard and the man asked if George
Newell was there. George went out
and tie gentleman told him he had
callers who would like to see him.
They got into the auto and started
home. AS they neared the house they
saw several wagons without horses
and he could not understand what
they were there for. When they got
into the yard Mrs. Eva Fogg of Au-
burn came to the door and told
George to come in. that he was
wanted in the parlor. After brush
ing his clothes he entered the hall
and looking into the parlor spied his
friends, who had come to help him
celebrate his birthday. For an in
stant he was dunn mbfounded but quick
iy rallied and with few words well
coined them all. A very enjoyabl
evening was passed with music and
singing. Mr.. Wetherbee. in behalf
of those present, presented Mr.
Newell with a Pyrex casserole and
pie plate. At late hour refresh
ments of sandwiches. cake and cof-
fee were served by Miss Annie Fogg.
The party left at a late hour, wish
ing Mr.. Newell many happy returns
of the day.

AMERICAN ZION.
lists TO MEET AT
OHIO

u Cleveland gOs.a June ZIONIST Gus
tricts in every Jewish Community in
the country are expected to be rep-
resented here next Sunday at the
opening of the annual Zionist con-
vention, when the Zionist Organiza-
ton OF America will demand a vote of
confidence in it for it's stand in the
controversy relative to the placing Of
safeguards around the funds that are
being raised for the Palestine Foun-
dation.
While numerous other subjects will
come before the convention the vote
of confidence on this subject has tenn
porarily overshadowed all others.
American leaders. headed by Judge
Julian w. Mack, of New York con-
tend that the activities of the Keren
Hayesod or Palestine Foundation
fund. be limited to a donation fund,
to be paid to the executive of the
World Zionist Organization. but to be
expended by the latter body only in
Palestine and only in accordance
with the fixed Palestinian budget.
They point out that there was
chartered in London on March 20 a
keren Hayesod Association as a sep
arate corporation independent of the
World Zionist executive, or of the
Zionist congress. The American
leaders headed by Judge Mack con-
tend that the charter gives to the five
directors of the Association power to
supersede the World Organization or
the Congress. They claim further
that the London resolutions provided
that the Palestine Foundation be a
fund for the immigration and colo
nization of Jews in Palestine but that
the articles of incorporation gives its
five directors powers which may be
exercised in any part of the world
and to surrender the upbuilding of
Palestine to private individuals and
corporations.
Dr. Chain Weizmann. head of the
World Zionist Organization recent
ly declared in New York that the
charter of the Keren Hayesod Asso-
citation is merely provisional, and
that it may be altered at the World
Zionist Congress to be held abroad
next September. He asks that the
whole matter be held in allegiance un-
til then, while collections for the fund
continue
The American leaders say they are
willing to leave to the Zionist Con-
gress the disposition of the funds
but demand proper safeguards for
the expenditure in Palestine only of
the fund collected meanwhile and
they will ask that this attitude be
upheld by vote of confidence.
