THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Bishop's Anviru To Bovs. Speaking to the- scholars of King’s College, Auckland, the Bishop of London urged them to lie absolutely trustworthy. to have it genuine purpose in life beyond the earning of their daily bread, to have no personal conceit, vanity or “side,” to have a real and genuine religion, and lastly, to have a sense of humour. “Xo man whose aim is self interest, is ever really trusted,’ said the Bishop. “Vanity robs a man of his influence for good, and no matt who says openly, ‘I am. an atheist,’ is trusted. As for a sense of humour. I ■have known perfectly honest, humble, religious people who had no influence, because they lacked this ipiality. People without humour make mountains out of molehills, and ‘get the hump’ about little .fancied slights. You should try to pass off little things, and not take yourselves too seriously.”
