When the‘ meal Was over, my uncle. according to his usual custom, Went to his seat beside the fire. and lit his pipe.

Cease because, like Paul, you can feel that you are the chief of sinners? I‘CdliYOS the enormity of his own sins, \‘ne more inclined he is to be less harsh upon the, sins of others. When Paul first had his blind eyes opt-mad by the good Ammias. he was able, to some cxtont, to see his own This harsh criticism whivh we may utter against our neighbors always has a bad reactionary effect upon those who make it. Therefore if we want to have a great influence for good it is very exsential for us, for the most part. to talk only about the virtues and the good qualities of those with whom we come in conâ€" tact. bridges, they are frightened and will not go over. Then these trained sheep come to the head of the flock and lead the way. When the un- trained sheep see that some of their number can cross the bridge, with a steady rush they follow after their leaders. There are scores and hun- dreds of thousands of men and wo- men who want to do wrong. But when they hear of the shortcomings. of their fellow men, they say to‘ themselves: “Well, if So-and-so can sow his wil'd oats, I guess we can. d If So-andâ€"so can safely cross the r rickety bridfie spanning the river of 9- "death, I guess we can also trust our- n selves upon the swinging span. Here y‘goes!" "'l‘inder is not more apt to g take fire," once wrote Phillips lerooks, “nor wax to take the hu- f'pression of the seal nor paper the s ink than youth is to follow ill ex- g amples." “When the abbot throws! the dice," goes an old legend, “the whole convent will gamble also." ‘ Everywhere we find that when a 3 great man 'does wrong his evil con-i ~iduct is taken as an example. or] 'I’rather as an excuse, for hundreds, , l and thousands of Similar sins. ' THE A RTIST'S MASTERPIECE. ' Never give any man a chance by ‘ the recital of some wrong or sin to turn. his face for one instant from purity and right. When Leonardo. da Vinci finished his great paint- ing, the “Last Supper,” he made a cup which was a masterpiece. In ‘form and character and in the lus- qter of the precious metal this cen- 'tral cup was clearly and beautifully[‘ lwrought out. The common praise ] which was first heard from every lip Was this: “How marvelous is the art displayed in the wine cup.:’ Thin eulogium so incensed the great Ital- ian artist that he took a great‘ brush and blotted out the splendid .cup as he said: “I meant the face of Jesus Christ to be the only and‘ the central and the most important part of that picture. What/ever draws away the eyes of the beholder from that must be blotted out." And so whatever draws away the thoughts and the desires of our and purity and love must be blotted hearers and companions from truthgs out. And mark you this, my bro-:1) ther. in ninety-nine cases out of a! hundred no man is as good a inanj after hearing the rehearsal of a? scandal or a sin as he was before; There may be exceptions.
