Saturday, August 21, 1926. I What Would H^pp Our Ow P,EV. ALBERT The most dangerous group in any community are the people who 'have no business to attend to. Whatever task may be assigned themr they - desert -it at once for. the task that has beep assigned the other* fellow. Give them a problem to \ solve and ' -they-desert it at onee for the problem that has been given to thg^ other fellow. They can develop no vital interest in anything that belongs to thcmselvps TKoir linfou-oot 10 on" at.n ntly sat npnr) that that does not concern them and from which no com pensation has been pomised to -them. They are wonderful advisers. They know how others shpuld do so many Things, and yet they have never been known to have ever done anything, themselves. The moment another fel low begins anything, they visit him and the advice bells begin to ring. They, advise him to change this tfeat and the other\ Oh, . thqy_ see ruin - staring him irTt,he_ fTin<] yet they never gave him a dollar, ih. their life. It is interesting to see a house wife leave her home, mussy, dirty and , unkept, and visit the Jio.me of her neighbor so as to advise her how to ciean her house. She goes in and tells her tb6t~it~is best to fllace this J And on and on she goes with hpr -gib_ * her and gab, uninyited and really hated for the task .she is trying tfc perform^ Her"own children are dirty, unwashed and unkempt. There is not a clean ?^pot in her own home where her husband can sit down in contort.' Her 'own appearatfee is not such as to inspire any degree oi r Al 1-A*_ ? ' wvc 11oin u inougniim, njan, anu-yet here she is, worn out from her task of ?tryin^ to attend to some- one better it would-be for the real com-' fort--of her loved ones if she first cleaned uprherr own house? "How much better it would be for her owr home, if she had sense enough tc keep both her children and. hersell in a better condition and let her neighbor's business alone? Well, ir the course of time, her husband gets ,> -wepry of dirt and gab, and he develops an interest out qf his home thai ~ belongs in his borne. : Tfren~~she~gtyeT from" house to house >, to tell others how bad a man her hlisband is. Sh< tells of his brutal neglect, vbut shi fails to tell- of the dirt filth__-thff driive^the poor fellow away from th< place where he tried to stay. Wha would -have happened if she- had?at tended to her own business?* Sh< would have had a E??d husband ant a- good home. Take the fellow wh< -f -1-5 ' * nownra iui wrung uuing in nis neigr bpr's home. He breaks his rest nigh -after night. He grows skinny am | looks real bad over the self-imposet f task he , has assumed... He isyquit< T_- faure that something isj.going wronj: in his neighbor's home. It happen! t ' that .his neighbor works at night. H< himself had a questionable interesi 1 in his neighbor's home, but he failet i* very sure, that_ something i: wrong:?Since he has failed"in his in tended rascality, he" has developec a profound interest in his neighbor': welfare.-^AVelf he keeps this up un til he has just reasons to suspeci.tha "" all is hot right at his own home Now, hi| neighbor has iVever invitee 1 him to have done what he did. Am ofLcourse he kept from his neighbo: .his own intended rascality toward hi: h~om4. . 4,fter one of his watchful waiting -around his neighbor's home, he goe: back to'his own home and finds then % the very thlngrthat he had hoped ti have found in his neighbor's home p What would have happened if he ha< ? -' attertded to his own business? Thi L?thing that happened-in his own homi never would have happened. .Thj ?. 1- .J*-! 1 * * 1 " ic?nu II nilJT limnj people iail in 11I( is because they never develop any thing in which__to succeed. AIL o p" their time is taken up with othe people's business, so mtich so, tha Ithey never have any business of thei: own. Sometimes preachers from othe: k charges often intentionally visit th ' charges of other ministers uninvitei f , on tours of inspection. They becohr more interested in he other fellow': charge than they are in the ones t< which they have been sent. Wei they want to know how everything i: going on. "How d0 you like you preacher?" "Is he doing well o: do you think he is gditrg to fail?' N6w, as a matter of fact, they d< not support the minister in question how comes it to be their busines; ., whether the minister is liked ot hot' fhen such men often go. from hous< " tio house, prying into this, that am th* other, wi^h hope, of locatin| A something that^ih^y carr use agains the minister . in Question. No oh has ever invited these coat tail sWin gers to assume this task. Now t< | . <KK~XKK~X~X~X~xkk~X~X~X~X~:~> en if We Attended to g n Business.. \| H. LONG, D.

While they were tracking the other fellow to his den, so as to shell the woods with him, some enterpris ing?seamp- of Ttheir??wrv typex visits their den, and then the feathers of disl covery (ly to all points of the compass. There is always something wrong in any m?#'s Men, who tries to atten^ to another's business uninvited. Now wHa't wouTd -have liupr pened if the preachers in question had attended to their own business ? Well thcfy might "have put Put the fires of scandal that were discovered burning in their., fields of service.

The moment- the .white folks put him in the pen for his "killings," she woulj be lying about her life for some other man. What if he had attended to his own business?
