Advice To Busybodies.
The word “busybody” means a
tattler, or mischiefmaker. He is
one who, having heard something
said against a certain person, goes
to other people and repeats the
story. It may not be well founded,
but it afford* an opportunity to tell
something bad about a person. The
busybody says that he is only tell
ing a little bit of “news.” He de
nies that he a tattler. He is angry
if someone tells him that he is a
busybody. It is always other folks
who are the pestiferous busybodies.
But read the following advice.
“Dr. Lawson, of Selkirk, a famous
Scottish wit, as well as a wise and
godly minister, was •nee approach
ed by a busybody, who wanted with
an air ot great solemnity, to tell
him of the wrong-doing of a broth
er in the church. The good minis
ter turned to him and asked. Does
anybody else know this but you?’
‘No, sir,’ was the answer. “Have
you told it to anybody else?’ Again
the answer was, No.’ Then go
home and hide it at the feet
of Jesus, and never speak of it a
gain unless God leads you to speak
to the man himself. If the Lord
wants to bring a scandal upon His
church, let ' w im do it, but don’t
y_>u bej'the instalment to cause it.”
If this advice strictly followed
by all members of churches, it is
evident that much less harm
be done to the good cause than is
generally the case In many in
stances, somo little thing, done by
a person who h_s had a good repu
tation, is told by a certain one as a
“secret,” and the one to whom it
has been told is requested to “say
nothing about it to anyone else
but, too often, the request is either
forgotten, or dissegarded, and so
the affair is circulated, growing
larger as it passes along.
Oftentimes there is no intention
to do any harm to the one who is
talked about, and yet he is quite
likely to be harmed by the gossip.
Here is a god chance to use the
“Golden Rule.”
