Character is a target for both friend
| and foe I, It is an easy mark for trait
i orous and sadistic slander.
Character is in the keeping, and the
; refore at the mercy of acquaintances,
: Everyone should supremely value each ot
i her’s good name and not belittle it; a
I rumor-monger will be soon found out bec
^ause he bases his talk on fiction rather
"than fact and on impressions rather than
j truthc A worthy reputation will speak
; for itself, being heard even above the
| rumors and clamors,
BUT--character may be ruthlessly,—
j shattered by sinister whisperings, beca
! use listeners are ready to entertain and
I repeat slander and what is termed "juicy
| gossip".Though reputation is manifested
j by a person’s actions and words, it
I can be severely damaged by an ignorant
j tongue; a few minutes of idle talkcan
I defame a lifetime of good - deeds - and
! honor.
Traducers of character should be loa-»
Ithed and dreaded as one would a destroy
ing pestilenceo Listeners ought not en
courage their vile trade, but to put th
em to shame with ruthless severity*
All of us are able to strengthen our
character by showing sincere interest
rather than mere curiosity,understanding
that we only spread sin by condemning it
malicioulsy and esoterically in others*
"He that hideth hatred with lying
lips, and he that utterath a slander, is
a fool <1* Proverbs 10:18

Evolution, it is said; Is what makes

WHilT IS MOTHER?
The mother is the fire, the children!
the light. By the brightness of the li-j
ght, we know how great is the fire.
The mother is the vine, the children i
the branches. By the branches we judge j
the value of the vine. j
The mother is the tree of life, the i
children the fruit, The Savior said* ”By :
their fruits you shall know them,” j
The mother is the clock, the children j
the hands. They point out the time*
The mother is the pen,' the children j
the script. By the writing you recognize j
the writer. i
The mother is the rudder,the children \
the boat. The boat goes wherever the j
rudder directs. I
The mother is the queen, the children j
the subjects. Under the scepter of a j
wise mother, the children are satisfied j
and happy. j
The mother is the great enigma and my- j
stery. The happiness of mankind^tha su- j
fferings of mankind vibrate and tremble j
in that one word, MOTHER. j
