Finding Fault

By H.

It is easy to find fault. The man with no ear whatever for music feels himself capable of criticizing the finished musician. The one with the least education or most faltering speech often takes upon himself the responsibility of displaying the faults of the eloquent, soul-burdened minister of the Gospel. The silly son or daughter of hard-working parents who have given their lives to labor for their children, thinks it a duty to correct the mistakes of father or mother.

O the shame of it! What is the profit? Until he can do better or give helpful counsel in the proper way, surely no one has the right to find fault with another. And when he comes to the place where he can do better, he will know better than to roughly criticize. What is a false note, a slip of the tongue, a little breach of etiquette, when compared with a useful life of service? The wonder is that failing, faulty man should dare find fault with another. H.
