We do not here discuss the pro
priety of getting mad. Neither
do we discuss the various occas
ions upon which men and women
should and should not exhibit their
wrath. But, since people do get
mad anyway, propriety or no pro
priety, occasion or no occasion, we
want to recall one or two of the
ways in which it should not be
done.
Well, there are a number of
ways in which one may yet mad.
l'he most popular, and the most
natural way is simply to get mad.
Nobody advocates this method,
and yet Grange to say, it has the
overwhelmingly largest number of
adherents. Nobody argues in de
fence of the method, nobody pre
tends to believe in it: indeed it
would be well nigh impossible to
find a man who would own to the
practice of it. even if he were pur
sued into a corner and the charge
pressed upon him. Why notf
Simply because there is noting to
commend the method, save its
easiness and its popularity. Not
even its own patrons commend it
in anybody but themselves. But
let us particularize a little, and see
who is the fellow that adopts the
short-cut plan and just gets mad.
He is the fellow who give- an or
der to his merchant and it it isn’t
filled exactly right he gets mad,
and maybe doesn't deal there any
more. Of course, he does not pre
sent his grievance to the merchant
fi: -t. That might be followed by
« satisfactory explanation, and
then our friend would he denied
the unhallowed privilege of nurs
ing his wrath longer. He mixes
with his fellowmen a great deal,
nnd usually carries his feelings on
the outside of his clothes. He is
sensitive; and a sensitive person
has a hard time in this world any
how. He often makes his own
burdens doubly heavy. Some
evil-minded person tells our sensi
tive brother of a bad thing that
has been said about him. He gets
mad. Kim down the report and
.see if the thing was ever said. No!
perhaps it wasn't!
The short-cut sensitive brother
tries to be religious, but the
church won’t do to suit him al
ways. He has a good deal of
bard sense, hardly enough for bal
last when the st>as are high: yet a
great deal for ordinary weather.
Therefore he hesitates l>efore wel
coming the thought that the whole
church has turned against him.
True, there is no ground for such
com iction, except that his motion
m the business meeting did not
prevail. And then the pastor
the pastor hurt his feelings in a
business meeting once recently.
Of course the pastor tried to do
this very thing, or it never would
have i>een done. He knows of no
reason (and the pastor doesn't ei
ther) why the shepherd should de
liberately wound a member of his
flock. It might be a sensible
thing to have a heart to heart talk
with the pastor about these things.
That course suggests itself to the
brother, but no, there is an easier
«nda shorter one. Our friend
just gets mad, and he may not
even come to church for six
monts, or a year.
Sometimes the editor of the pa
per comes in for unmerciful treat
ment. If his secular paper shows
partiality to Davis, Bryan, or
Cleveland, or Hearst, or Parker
against the wishes of this individ
ual reader, woe be unto said edi
tor! He is likely to receive a
brief but expressive little note say
ing “Don’t want it any longer."
The editor of the religious paper
. who does not do exactly accord
| ing to our brother’s taste is favor
led to the extent that his note is
toned down to the graceful words,
“Please discontinue.”
It may be well to raise the ques
tion, in closing, Have we particu
larized very much, after all? For
convenience the characteristics
portrayed have been attributed to
some “brother.” We have had
no one person in mind all the way
through. Probably all of us are
guilty to some extent. The range
must be widened to take in the
“sister" also. The one lesson for
us all is, that there is too much
work and too little time for sensi
ble people to sit down and nurse
their sensitive4 feelings.
