Origilally it came from the AngloSaxon word "godsib," which neans "related to God." The vord referred to a sponsor at ine's baptism. Thus a "godjib" was a close friend who vas familiar with a person 1 1 _ 11 ? i i uiu Knew an aooui mem. It didn't take long for the dea of "knowing all about a nerson" to change to "telling ill about them," and thus the 3resent meaning of the word 'gossip" was born. Gossip has been defined as jutting two and two together, md making it five. Pascal pointed out the danger in gossip when he said: "I lold it to be a fact, that if all jersons knew what each said jf the other, there would not je four friends in the world." Quarles gave good advice when he said: "Let the greatest part of the news thou nearest be the least part of what thou believest, lest the greatest part of what thou believest be the least part of what is true. Where lies are easily admitted, the father of lies will not easily be kept nut." The great tragedy in telling nr spreading falsehoods is inai you can i iaKe mem DacK. A story will illustrate this point of view: A man with a troubled conscience went to a friend for advice. He told his friend he had circulated a vile storv about another friend and later found that the storv was not true. "If you want to make peace with your conscience," said the friend, "you must fill a bag with feathers, go to every yard in your village and drop in each one of them one fluffy feather." The man did as he was told. Then, he came back to his friend and announced he had done penance for his folly. "Not yet," replied the friend. "Take your bag to the rounds again and gather up every feather that you have dropped." "But the wind must have blown them all away," said the man. "Yes," cairl t 4*?*?/-I ** " ^uiu uic iiii.hu, uiiu au ll ia with gossip. Words are easily dropped, but no matter how hard you try, you can never get them back again." For, as a poet also has said: . . . "Careful with fire," is good advice we know, 'Careful with words," is ten times doubly so; Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead. But God Himself can't kill them when they're said. Good advice to follow woidd be never to say things about another which later you will regret. GIVE SEPTEMBER, 1958 cautionI Inn qdhtI jl^P Wl^* "\m "^f "** The Story of An Oil Spot ^^NCE UPON A TIME a department was plagued with the presence of a large spot of oil on the floor. It was InnnloH i >-> r? Nl ICir cnMinil <\f <Un rlnnnxtninnt nn.l nn..U .v/vwtvv* ill l> OVVUV/II U1 II IU ULptU UIIUIIl, ClIIU Cell. II employee who passed by had to use care to avoid slipping in it. The spot never seemed to dry or get any smaller. Finally one day. when Tillie Sloughfoot was passing by the spot, she stepped right smack dab in the middle of it. Her supervisor protested, "Tillie has worked in this same department for over three years. I know she knew about that oil spot being there. I remember warning her personally about it as I did everyone in the department, and I even went to the trouble of having a sign painted to caution the employees about that old spot. I just can't understand why she stepped in it." Tillie moaned when she explained, "I knew about that doggoned oil spot being there. It has been there ever since I came to work, but today I was in a big hurry and I guess I must have forgotten about it that one time. Before I knew what was happening, I was flat on the floor. I guess I just forgot." Congratulations, Tillie! You proved that you are a human being. You did what all humans are guilty of once in a while ... you forgot! Of course, you can be consoled by the fact that all your friends will come to see you. They will bring you candy and flowers, and you must be certain to have them autograph that nice white cast on your leg! Actually this little storv is a ridiculous exaggeration, but there is a method in this madness. It is much simpler to remove a safety hazard whenever possible than to warn everyone of its presence and take the chance of someone forgetting. Do you know of a safety lu., aid in your department? Whether it is a hazard known to everyone or only to you, talk to your supervisor about it.
