IF YOU KNOW HIM WELL YOU LIKE HIM

Two very splendid talks were made before the
knowing your neighbor and feowman by Mr.. Nc
Daniel, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and
Rev. Claiborne, of the Civilian Club.
Many misunderstanding and diskes are due to
not knowing fellow well was the gist of the talks
Mr.. Mcdaniel read the very appropriate poem of
Edgar Guest at the conclusion. We give it here:
When You Know Fellow
(By Edgar Guest)
When you get to know a fellow, know his joys and
know ms cares,
dens that he bears,
When youv learned the fight he's making and the
troubles in his way
Then you find that he is different than you thought
him yesterday.
You find his faults are trivial and there s not so
much blame
In the brother that you jeered at when you only
knew his name.
You are QnicF to see the blemsh in the distant
neighbours stJle
You point to all his errors and may sheer at him
the while,
And your prejudices fatten and your hates more
violent grow
AS you talk about the failures of the man you do
not know,
But when drawn little closer, and your hands and
shoulders touch,
Vo, G,,J +l,o +no 49,, Lo4o1
to much
When you get to know fellow, know his every
mood and whim
You begin to find the texture of the splendid side
of him;
You begin to understand him, and you cease to scott
and sneer
pear.
You begin to find his virtues and his faults you
cease to tell,
For you seldom hate fellow when you know him
very well.
When next you start in sneering and your phrases
turn to blame,
Know more of him you censure than his business
and his name
For it likely that acquaintance would your preju-
dices dispe
And you'd really come to like him if you knew him
very well.
When you get to know fellow and you understand
his ways,
Then his faults won't really NATTER for you'll find
lot to praise.
