He is known by his unbridled criticism of everything in sight. Nothing -pleases him. The place in which he is living is “no good,” the peo pie by whom he is surrounded are no “account,” and the business en terprises in his community are not the kind he likes, and by this kind of knocking of his home town, he becomes one of its worst enemies, and also an enemy to himself. Don’t knock your home town, and your own community, but speak a good word.
