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.” C. H. Wetherbe.
