"CHIPS" LIKES THE
HERALD AND NEWS

You can just notice the saying of
The Herald and News reporter, bet
ter known to some of US older cor
RESPONDENTS as the "Needle's Eye"
and tell me if he doesn't get right
square down on some things that. are
worth while. What l mean is not
only worth while to read but worth
while to put into practice.
In one of his little paragraphs a
| few weeks ago he spoke of this be-
ing a free country; that one may
have the right to do as she or he
pleases, but for his part he had made
up his mind not to pick flaws or find
fault, and that he compliments the
good that comes before him and
doesn't like to deal in adverse criti-
cism.
I could dwell upon this subject. 1t
covers multitude Of good that would
90 on to make the world better, If
every man, woman and child would
Just put it into practice. 1t exhibits
the spirit of old st. Paul in writing to
the Galatians. He says, Brethren,
if a man be overtaken in fault ye
which are spiritual restore such a one
in the spirit of meekness, considering
thyself lest thou also be tempted.
Bear We one another's burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ"
A man who lives up to The above,
it can be truly said that after he dies
the world has been made better by
the example of his life. The person
who is always picking out the bad
things Of others and laying them oe-
fore the public is nothing more nor
, less than an angel of hell and curse
to his country Who loves to hear
the very bad things connected With
life? Who can enjoy them? Only
those who have corrupt hearts, and
it is the honest duty of every person
VINO IS trying to make the world bet
ter to show their contempt by turn
ing his back upon such gossip.
Another little example Of good is
shown in a paragraph written by Mr..
Greneker a few weeks after the first
mentioned. He says, "Keep going.
Some people give up too soon, when
with a little more endurance, a little
more faith and a little more hope
i they would feel better. It takes will
power to keep going when the way
seems dark and rough
The reporter wrote this while shut
in, suffering with his eyes. and other
sickness in the home. Under these
trying circumstances he, tells us that
the sweet sunshine, sweet birds and
sweet flowers never failed to show
their brightness to him.
This is as true manifestation of
the Divine help as almost can be eX-
pressed. 1t reminds me Of little
tract that was given me when boy
1t was written by Peter, under the
+ title, at Came From Above" Peter
made his life happy by believing that
all things work together for good to
them that love God. Every cross and
! trial came before Peter. He never
; failed to say it came from above. He
opened the door wide and let the sun
shine into his soul to show him
brightness, hope, faith and love in
every vocation of life. I had good,
true Christian sister who had many
bitter trials Of various natures to en-
dure and she always met them with
the smiling words, Goods will must
be DONE" All who knew her loved
her. She lived the life of faith. She
died the life of faith. And we feel
that she is now enjoying her reward.
We may refresh our minds by add
ing the story Of two girls. One lived
in a grand palace but nothing seemed
to make her happy, while the other.
who lived in cottage across the road
was always cheerful.
One day the two girls met. The
girl who lived in the palace asked the
poor girl, How do you manage to
keep so happy on so ittle?" The
girl in the cottage replied, 81 am al
ways expecting something good to
turn up, while in the meantime | am
content in doing the small! daily
tasks. The world has its beautiful
side. Why not live on the side to-
ward joy?"
The girl Of the castle was silent.
