Feter of the three denials.
, lie paUcurTUj the uext place, with
Jiom sinners wbo hare no lynipathy
r!th their fellow men's sins. It is very
?sy for us to pass Judguieut upon oth
ers. It Is rery hard, however, for us
V be willing to let others criticise their
neighbors when they themselves are
flagrantly guilty of the same sins. Vet
everywhere we Hint thut those Phar
isaical jH-ople who themselveH nre most
vpen to criticism are the most critical
ff others.
Sit any day you will la a crowded
city stn-et car and find an illustration
of what I mean. When the iMtor old col
ored washerwoman trios to enter with
her bundles and drops some packages
who laughs the educated gentleman
or the retlned lady, the man whose
cerebral development Indicates the
dome of his skull covers a well devel
oM'd brain, or are the laughers and the
scoffers found among the Ignorant and
tin' stupid, among those whose int. Meet
in till probability Is not even ns reat
as that of the old h'-iek won an. w ho
never had a day's s -hooling in all her
life": Who Is haiihst upon the yoitt'
Sirlor boy wjio has -.me astray"; Ti:e oh!
t'hrisi in man and woman wl -i i '.. n
their very earliest days have pfajeriu:
!y followed ri.rist"; 'ih. nul The j r
so:is who will be most apt to pas the
harde-t critieism against the f.il'ci
ire the men and the women who dire
not l ave the s an-h light of inve-- - I
Hon failed upoti their own lives. So
some of us can well make the :is-e:
lion: " Wo despise sin. hut we de-;iie
worse the sinner who is criticising sin
w hen he himself is guilty of the same
or even worse sins."
Hut. steady, my brother. He patient
also with tin so who are harsh in tiieir
eritieisnis of others. Keniemher that
for them a day of reckoning is coming,
or perhaps has come. Who among your
brothers and sisters today Is Inning
the hardest times"; Is It not the sister
w ho never had in her heart any love
for the common people? U it not the
sister who felt she was socially and
mentally u little higher than any one
else? Who today Is most mercilessly
laid upon the dissecting table of criti
cism and having his whole life cut to
pieces? Is It not the man who himself
once most vigorously wielded the eon
sorlous scalpel? I in not worry that
these sinners who are,so harsh in their
criticisms agaitivt the slus of others
will not have their Just rewards. Ver
ily, verily, I say unto you, their con
demnation will come from (Jod. It Is
U'tter for us not to try to snatch the
divine thunderUilts out of Cod's hand
He patient even in your criticisms
against those unjust critics. '"Let your
moderation W known unto all men."
Hut there Is still another class of ag
gressive critics against which I would
plead with you to apply the teachings
of my text. They are those who have
no sympathy with you In your work. I
do not moan those who are maliciously
falsifying, but those who honestly,
truthfully and positively d0 not like
your way of doing things.
Ut nie suggest one other overmas
tering consideration which ought to
control nil your Impatience with oth
ers: How much does God ln'ar with
from you? When l.o who is so wise
and pure looks upon you and sees you
more i-harly with all your faults than

fraudulent attempt to break a will oi
collect Insurance money. If the de
ceased himself could rise up and tell
talcs, many a suit of these kinds would
be thrown out of court. A variation
on a rather familiar swindle has Ju.-I
been unearthed In Chlcapo. An express
company received one day recently BC
packages from a small town In Illinois
all of uniform size and t-hape, and with
charges on each one of $5.40 C. O. D.
txr there was nothing extraordinary
Suspicion was only aroused when the
drivers on d livering the packages found
that none of the addressees was alive.
The hert ivej family In each case opened
the parcel and found a small bottle oi
colorless fluid tuarhid "Prescription
lii.747," with the name of a doctor and
a drug company ami the admonition:
'"Take as directed." A bill of $5 for the
medicine, "per your order," was in
cud by the drug company. "Well,"
thought the relations, "if there was any
thing a sick man would be likely to or
d'.r the week before his death, it would
be medicine." So t hoy were much more
.likely to pay for It than If It had been
cordwood, Jewelry, or illustrated books.
Just as a succession of "kited" checks
may pass unnoticed between city banks
where the work is highly subdivided,
though they would be detected at onct
by the combined teller and bookkeeper
iu the country depository, so, in the
hands of the express company with a
hundred drivers and a hundred clerks at
one station, there was a good chance
that the number of packages sent to
dead men would not bo remarked. It
was sheer Rood fortune that by tho time
30 of the DO packages had been delivered,
the peculiar circumstance was reported
to the superintendent. He stopped the
remainder of the packages, telegraphed
to the point of shipment, and promised
that the money should be refunded to
those who had been victimized. The re
port from the home of the drug company
revealed a depth of depravity In the
promoters even in their private relations.
"One of the members of the firm called
at the company's oflloes at six o'clock
this evening," said the message, "and
asked the Janitor if the manager had
been down from Elgin to-night.. He
then wanted to borrow the Janitor's um
brella." . ........ .

send you the manuscript telling you
I the story of my early life, I met with
i no end of setbacks and finally was un-
able to do anything with it. I started
oil by getting a stenographer that was
so slow she gave nie the jinipams, and
I could not dictate. Then I tried writ
ing myself, and the typewriter had an
V missing, and I never knew before
how often that letter appears in a sen
tence. I had to give that up and try
a pen. Then my baby boy got hold
of i-omo ancient salted peanuts, and
they gave him convulsions, and for
awhile I did not know whether I was
alive or dead. Then I was called away

I would have given a stranger a pretty

their respective classes; there was an
