Fault Finders

By Editor

The following extract, from a letter of Dr. Crane of Ill., to the N. Y. Advocate, speaks for itself:

Did you ever know a preacher that had any force and success, but had a few people in his charge that disliked him? and these dislikers are far more free and active in talking against the preacher than his friends are active to speak in his favor. Who ever knew of any man in any position on the face of the earth, who accomplished anything, but had enemies? And who does not know that finding fault requires less sense than almost any other effort, and that the men who slip around and accuse their brethren under cover of letters, where their names are hid, are not generally the most worthy and reliable informants.
