The Greatest Blunders of Life

It is said that in the Crerar Library is a record made by a large number of men of the greatest blunders in their lives. Some of them are as follows: “The greatest blunder of my life was gambling.” “When I left my church and mother.” “My greatest blunder was when I first learned to smoke.” “When I left school before I was past the fourth grade.” “Did not stick to my trade.” “Fooling away my time when I was at school.” “Not keeping my position, but grew slack in my work.” “Reading worthless books.” “Thinking that my boss could not do without me.” “Refused a steady position with a good firm.” “Would not harken to the advice of older people.” “Not saving money when I was young.” “Beating some one out of money.” “Did not stick to anything.” “Careless about religious duties.” “Did not take care of my money.” “The greatest blunder of my life was not accepting Christ, and thereby avoiding many sorrows caused by serving Satan.”—Selected.
