Q lit i TOTTW B. R. C A I2 AW AY ' SUPEEI NTENDENT- Some days ago a young lady seemed to be worried about what others think and feared that she might be laughed at. Certainly we should have some concern as to what others think about us. But we are told, You wouldn't worry about what people think of you, if you only knew how seldom they do. The type of person who is commenting on the errors of another usually is trying to hide some weakness that he feels within himself. Thus I would consider the source and remember: Great minds discuss ideas, Average minds discuss events, Little minds discuss people. So, lf the world laughs at you, just laugh back at it, for it is as funny as you are. An Arabian proverb may stimulate us to think. lt is as follows: He that knows and knows that he knows is wise-you can follow him. He that knows and knows not that knows is asleep-wake him. He that knows not and knows that he knows not is docile-you can teach him. But he that knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool-shun him. He will advise you, but you can not learn from HIM. There are Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record truep To think without confusion clearly To love his fellow men sincerely, To act from honest motives purely, To trust in God and Heaven securely. So, let us learn the important things and discount the lesser things. I 'i ! B. R. Caraway
