We have entirely too much fun with our prejudices. How tinny of us enjoy an argument or a criticism of others too much? Watch the typical critic jump to his feet in any meeting, his eyes snapping and his voice vibrant with self-righteousness. As he takes his seat again he looks proudly around the room seeking the approval of his henchmen! "Jack-the-Giant-Killer has made another conquest!"

Be careful, friend, of your criticisms. Surely it is right to criticize, when we honestly seek to help our neighbors, just as soon as you find yourself enjoying the self-appointed task, you are on dangerous ground. A sense of superiority will begin to grow in you until you can carry it unconsciously, even into the sanctuary, and pray: "God. I thank thee, that I am not as other men...or even as this publican."
