It was a positive virtue, he said,; to speak no ill- BEV11 speaking, while nm actually telling lies, was repeating lies and was g' neraliy termed gossip To speak ill, he said, was beneath the dignity of ,i well trained mind. "We are under tho condemnation of the moral code which R.iys. Judge not that ye be not Judged, when we speak i III of others. We should be charitable! to those who commit evil deeds be-1 cause there i.-i a difference between iln. deed and the one who committed it. We should hate evil and love the ll doer as that is the only way to help hlni reform. You must be, and not just seem to he, thai which you expect to teach j our children, because be-cause the chlldrf n are Influenced more by what you are than by whal you teach," on |
