I hated someone.
For years that hate went on.
It was quite a nuisance. It
prevented my going certain
places. It cut off from several
pleasant people. It made me
reject some good opportunities.
Worst of all, it was a secret
center Of infection in my life.
No matter how happy I was,
how busy and friendly in. my
other relationships, that core
Of bitterness remained within
me, spreading its poison of re-
sentiment and suspicion into
everything did.
The other day, the person I
hated died.
It startled me. He had be-
come, through my hate, such
an important person in my life.
I could hardly realize that he
had gone out Of my life for
ever. that he would never
hurt me again.
The CheCk-up
Then. as one does, I began to
check UP on all the harm he
had done me. I discovered,
with great amazement, that he
had not harmed me for many
years. Nor had I actually suf-
fered from the effect of his old
injury during these years. I
had really been perfectly free
from him and his malice, BUT
I HAD GONE ON HATING
BECAUSE I HAD ACQUIRED
THE HABIT OF HATING. I
HAD GONE ON WASTING MY
ENERGIES, POISONING MY
SPIRIT, LIMITING MY LIFE
THOUGH THE ACTUAL
BARRIER AGAINST HAPPI-
NESS HAD LONG SINCE BEEN
REMOVED.

that had happened when my

positive assurance that they

with the positive knowledge

The tariff, then as now, was
obnoxious and destructive. The
Democratic leaders knew they
could not effect a general re-

Of Underwood, they presented
their so-called shotgun bills

on steel and other products

They passed their bills in the
