NEWS - OF INTEREST IN THE SOCIAL REALM WATCH YOURSELF GO BY Just stand aside and watch yourself go by; Think of yourself as “he” instead of “I” .Note closely, as in other men you note, The bag-kneed trousers and the seedy coat. Pick flaws, find fault, forget the man is you; Confront yourself and look yourself in the eye— Just stand aside and watch yourself go go. Interpret all your motives just as though You looked on one whose aims you did not know. !Let undisguised contemptsurge through you when You Bee you shirk, O commonest of men! Despise your cowardice, condemn whate’er You note of falseness in you any where Defend not one defect that shames your eye— Just stand aside and watch yourself go by. And then, with eyes unveiled to what you loathe— To sins that with sweet charity you’d clothe— Back to your self-walled tenements you'll go With tolerance for all who dwell below The faults then of others will dwarf and shrink, - Love’s chain grown stronger by one mighty link— When you, with “he” as substitute for “I,” Have stood aside and watched yourself go by. —Christian Companion.
