PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE

It is doubtful if there has lived a man in modern times who could look back on his life after middle age without some feelings of regret for things that he had done not exactly in harmony with a clean conscience. Of course, there are men whose beastile pleasures, and pleasures that a beast wouldn’t be guilty of, whose hardened conscience is incapable of puncture, but we speak of men with healthy minds and consciences. Therefore, when you condemn a young man for early offences look back over the record of your own life and you will find many things on the debit side that you would like to have some kind friend assist you in wiping from the slate.—Exchange.
