Show THE TWO MEN INSIDE. An old Indian once asked a white man to give him some tobacco for his pipe. The men gave him a loose handful from his pocket. The next day he came back and asked for the white man; "For," said he, "I found a quarter of a dollar among the tobacco." "Why don't you keep it?" asked a bystander. "I've got a good man and a bad man here," said the Indian, pointing to his breast, "and the good man say, ‘It is not mine; give it back to the owner.' The bad man say, ‘Never mind, you got it, and it is your own now.' The good man say, ‘No, no, you must not keep it.' So I don't know what to do, and I think to go to sleep but the good and the bad men kept talking all night, and trouble me; and now I ?? the money back I feel good." Like the old Indian, we have all a good man and a bad man within. The had man's Temptation, the good man is Conscience and they keep talking for and against many things that we do every day.-The Mother's ?? |
