Jealousy.
Jealousy is an evil agent that has
ruined thousands. It manifests it
self in numerous ways, but seldom
benefits the one into whose bosom it
has found lodgmsnt. It tries to pull
down those who are climbing up the
ladder of success. To do this, whis
perings backbiting and false ac
cusations are employed. It prompts
a man to build himself up at the ex
pense and downfall of hi-t more
worthy fellow man, but in the en ) it
proves a boomerang.
. If there is one evil spirit abroad in
the land that should be shunned
moie than another, it is jealous.
Many meu are today behind prison
bars, paying the penalty for crimes
that had their inception in the green
eyed monster jealousy. If you would
be happy and useful, never allow
jealousy or a desire to pull your more
prosperous and successful brother
man down, get the mastery over you
Durham Sun
The Sun dnsen't put it j ist right,
jealousy can hardly be said to be an
agent; ic is really oue of the modes of
the expression of the meanest, selfish
ness and i e., jealousy the green
eyed monster. There is a jealousy
which is good and unselfish
