<h2><SPAN name="page162"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>TRUE CULTURE</h2>
<p class="poetry">The highest culture is to speak no ill,<br/>
The best reformer is the man whose eyes<br/>
Are quick to see all beauty and all worth;<br/>
And by his own discreet, well-ordered life,<br/>
Alone reproves the erring.</p>
<p class="poetry"> When thy
gaze<br/>
Turns in on thine own soul, be most severe.<br/>
But when it falls upon a fellow-man<br/>
Let kindliness control it; and refrain<br/>
From that belittling censure that springs forth<br/>
From common lips like weeds from marshy soil.</p>
