CIVIC COMMITTEE. ,
j P. S. The Red Cross workers tell
us that there are a few slackers in
He who is busy attending to his
own affairs has no time to meddle
with the affairs of others.
If he is constant in his attention
to the duties incumbent upon him, he
has no desire to intrude upon the
concerns of another. This for the
reason that he is engaged in the
' King's business," and His business
does not require that we should pre-
sumptuously tell our neighbor how he
should do his part of the work Each
lb responsible for his own work. He
i< responsible for the proper employ-
ment of his talents, genius and capac-
ities, and for the fidelity with which
he pursues his vocation.
In the above quotation the Master
in effect told Peter how to "Mind his
own business, and that business is to
follow me." That was what "the
■i* Disciples whom Jesus loved" was do-
-:3 ing when Peter asked the question.
Indeed, it probably is the fact that
the implied partiality of the Master
for that Disciple was because he was
constantly following Him, constantly
loving God and man, constantly doing
the good deeds and speaking the good
words which love impels. And taht is
the business of every one.
It is not intended by these re-
marks to imply that we should not
render all possible aid to our neigh-
bor in his business when requested to
do so, or when we see him struggling
under a weary load of care, or grief,
or trouble. Then his business be-
comes the King's, which is our
business. It is then that the com-
mand, "Love thy neighbor as thy-
self," needs to be obeyed, as it so
■/* beautifully illustrated in the parable
of the Good Samaritan. Certainly,
since the "Samaritans have no deal-
ings with the Jews," he could not
have considered the wounded man's
' j troubles any affair of his except from
'j | the standpoint just mentioned—the
•*1* standpoint of mercy and love. When
| these are called into action the work
. becomes at once the business of the
i King, for the business of the King is
[ the business of humanity. It is the
! business which gives the cup of cold
j water to the thirsty, which pours oil
'■C | of comfort into wounded hearts, "to
! give unto them beauty for ashes, the
•;J, oil of joy for mourning, the garment
| °f praise for the spirit of heaviness."
1 But what is meant by "Mind your
own business" is that we should not
I intrude ourselves upon others, offer-
ing unsought-for and undesired criti-
cisms of the manner in which they
have done, are doing, or may do cer-
tain things, which do not concern us.
Advice is one of the best things in the
world when it is good advice, but do
we always make sure that it is such
before offering it? Are we always
sure that the matter under considera-
tion is such as warrants our volun-
tary intrusion ?
A wise and good man once said, "If
I were commissioned to add another
command to the Decalogue, I would
write, 'Mind your own business.' He
added that the unwarranted interfer-
ence of outsiders in the affairs of
neighbors and friends—of even close
friends—has had consequences of evil
which far outweighed in the balances
of right and happiness all the good
that ever flowed from such a course.
Surely such an additional command
would not be without merit; but of
course it is included in those already
in the Ten, for obedience to the Com-
mandments as they are would make
unnecessary the eleventh one pro-
posed. The Psalmist said, "Thy law
is perfect," and we know that it is;
that he who obeys it will not be ac-
cussed of interfering with the affairs
of others without warrant.
J The late Henry W. Shaw (Josh
j Billings) was a philosopher as well as
a humorist. He remarked, "It is
easy enough to attend to our neigh-
bor's business, but our own some-
times bothers us." And so it is. We
are too prone to say, "If I were in his
place I'd do so and so," when the fact
of the matter is we might do very
much worse than he whom we are
adversely criticizing. It should no":
be forgotten that in such criticism
we are not only meddling with the
affairs of another, but are guilty of
the double r.ffense of meddling and
asting reflections upon the one criti-

bage as criticism of another, simply
to quote these words, "Wist ye not
that I must be about my Father's
business?" And it is no part of our
Father's business to listen to the be-
meaning of one of his children. In-
deed, it might sound just a little
harsh, but it would be altogether the
right thing to say to the critic, "What
is that to thee? Mind your own bus-
iness."
It is only when neglecting our own
business, the King's business, that we
are tempted to interfere in the busi-
ness of others.
"It is the King's command
That all men everywhere
Repent and turn away
From sin's delusive snare;
That all who will obey
With Him shall reign for aye—
And that's my business for my
King."
