u2u Careful What Von ar.
In speaking of a person's faults
Pray don't forget your own ;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone ;
If wo have nothing" else to do
Rut talk of those who sin,
'Tis better we commence at home,
-And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man,
Until he s fairly tried ;
gi)OUld we not like his company,
We know .the world is wide;
Some mav have fallen and who has
not
The old as well as the yotmg ;
Perl
?;'U1 - A - Vi - vub"-..,
Have fifty to their one. .
I'll tell you of a better plan,
And hnd it works full well:
I try my own defects to cure '
IJelore of others . tell. .
And tlioun 1 sometimes nope to oe
No worse than some I know,
My own short comings bi-me let
The faults of others go. .
Then let us all when we commence :
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we' little know ; .
Our chickens, 44 roost at home, ;
Bon't speak of others' faults .until .
We have none of bur own.
