Show THE BETTEIi WAY. It is always better to help ethers to I criticise themselves than it is to crit icise them. They will believe themselves; them-selves; they are not likely tr believe you. The. way to bring abonut this healthy and helpful condition of self-criticism, self-criticism, with its accompanying desire de-sire for improvement, is to show by ' our lives, silently, the better way, : while resolutely refraining from urg ing it on others. It was a high tribute paid to a Christian man, who is not now living, when one who had known him intimately inti-mately said: "He never told me th,at I ought to do better, but I always cam e away from any conversation with hinr.' wanting to do better.'
