A DAILY MESSAGE
MORE CANCEROUS THAN BURGLARS!
JinioiNO others downwards is a favourite pastime with all ages arid both sexes. Those who set themselves up as judge, jury, and executioner, never trouble to call for evidence. They are determined to eoiidemn. Tlmt’s their chief business in life. If there is any evidence which would maintain the good reputation of the person assailed, their warped minds simply rdf use to record ip. They' are out to eoiidemn; they ar,e ardent, enthusiastic, wholesale condom tiers.
Theirs is not the tongue of good report; wherever they go, evil report goes with them. Their stock-in-trade is innuendo, insinuation, imputation, and they always assure their hearers that “ it’s quite true.” They are the ” did you bear’s ” Bf the community. Of evidence they have none, and waiit none ; they are wreckers, expert denialishers of character, purveyors of evil report.
One meets them everywhere; there are hound m lie some in your street. W hen you see them coming, let tile dog loose; they are more dangerous than burglars.
