A RECIPE FOR SIMPLE LIVING.
I CAME across the following excellent morsels of advice by an American writer, who calls them four rules of sincerity. It will not hurt any of my readers to commit them to memory. We can all mark, read, and inwardly digest them with profit. The rules, in brief, are these: We should never buy things that we do not need; we should never willingly, or through mere indifference, buy things that are not genuine; we should never try to do things that we know we cannot do, or have not time to do; and we should never do things that we do not want to do, just because other people do them and ask us to do them. If we all observed these four rules of sincerity, we should discover that simplicity of life is, after all, an attainable ideal.—English Exchange.
