rl , j THE MAN WITH A GROUCH (fir So it goes; in church, in busi, ness, even in sport, the man with a grouch opposes even* joy with gloom. Unwilling to concede that anything is pure, unadulterated good, he is busy always hunting out the evil and I grumbling over his real or fancied wrongs. He is sometimes called a "knocker." an other expressive word with an origin kin to that of "grouch." To such a man nothing 3eems to be right, nothing is free from his ill-natured criticism. He is vi always Knocking the man that he sees on the street, Knocking his neighbor whenever they meet, Knocking at business, knocking at * V Play, Knocking because he can't have his i own way. Knocking the preacher and knocking the pew, Knocking the man who dares differ in view, Knocking his enemy, knocking his friend, Until we all wish that his knocking would end. Some happy spirits are like the birds in the treetops greet-1 \ ing the sunshine with songs of joy, but the man with a grouch ; is like the frog croaking at night from a slimy swamp.?
