guilty flee where no man pursueth.
but the righteous are bold as q lion"
II is here as with the true gentle
man. who is very slow to resent any
insult. Being gentleman, he does
not like to believe any one is treat
ing him so. He trusts the world
more than that.
The "bOunder" always has q chip
on his shoulder, because he knows
better than any one else just how
much Of him is pretenSe and bluff.
1t is the same with criticism.
He who does his task fairly, and
honestly, is not going to be taken
aback because some one openly says
there is something in it he does not
like.
So much was to be expected.
If such workman feels himself
nettled. he instantly probes into his
own consciousness to see why.
Maybe 1t Is no more than the tone
in which he was addressed.
The younger and less experienced
man wants to fight.
He feels that the critic has no
right to be critic.
lie believes, In his innocence. that
life at large is divided into compart-
mentS. and that no human being has
any right" to step out OF his own
water-tight precinct.
Life is not that way. however. except
In dreams.
1t is large. 1t contains multitudes,
and every single one OF the multitudes
has his own ideas about things.
Expression OF these ideas, so long
as done decently. is part of lfr,
and 10 the man somewhat sure Of
himself a not unimportant part.
He can get lot out of them. and
will. despite the belief OF his critics
that he never does.
The big trouble with critics is that
they seldom look at anything from the
other mans standpoint. and they eX-
pect too much reform from him.
Often their criticism is SO little
founded on the facts OF the case that
if they were in the others shoes for
so little as a week they would see
how absurd it was.
They would not wonder. then. why
the other seemed to pay SO little at
tention to it.
Two weeks OF real first hand
knowledge vi the others problems
would show them. too. why he does
not put into Immediate effect all
their Sure-tlre suggestions.
A word to the younger man might
be IN order:
Never be too quick to leap to your
own defense.
To do so shows that you think you
need defense more than ordinary.
Defend yourself. but not too
quickly!
Do not let any one put you in the
position Of the animal in the French
pruVerb:
This is very wicked animal
when attacked. it defends itself
Wait until you are really attacked
before YOU heatedly defend yourself
Smile little at the onset and
listen as calmly as you can. 1t won't
hurt to put on plaCidity you do not
feel. perhaps. for, after all, the fell
low may be trying to help you. and
if you give yourself time you will
see it.
