Honesty and Carelessness.

There are so many ways in which to be careless with the things that belong to others. Most of us seldom think of these small sins of commission and omission. We would not, for anything In the world, knowingly trespass on the rights of others. Yet, day after day, because we do not think, we do things that are reilly destructive, and verge very closely upon dishonesty of act. If not Intention. Dishonesty is an ugly word. But it is better to face the fact that the careless person is really the dishonest person, for. only by admitting a fault can it be cured. Are you careless? If so, look to It that your carelessness does not .work harm to yourself and to those about you.
