LIFE'S FOURTEEN MISTAKES

JUDGE RESTOUL ON WRONG TtUNKING. Judge Rentoul addressed the Bartholomew Club, London, on the fourteen mistakes of life, lie said he had committed them often, but denied that he had brought forward that subject because it was a ladies' night. He selected the f o'lowing as the fourteen mistakes of lite: To attempt to set up our own standard of right and wrong and expect everyone to conform to it. Trying to measure the enjoyments ot others by our own.' To expect uniformity of opinion. To look for judgment and experience in youth. To endeavor to mould all dispositions alike. Not to yield in unimportant trifles. ! To look for perfection in our own I actions. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remedied. Not to alleviate all that needs alleviation if wo can. Not to make allowances for the weaknesses of others. To consider anything impossible that we cannot ourselves perform. To believe only what our finite minds can*grasp. To live as if the moment, the time, the day was so important that it would last for ever. To estimate people by some outside quality.
