The Greater Fault: A Poem

ROMANCE OF A MISSIONARY. 919 yet in the spirit, "looked, and behold a door was opened in heaven;'' and he heard a voice which said, "Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter." (the end.) THE GREATER FAULT. (For the Improvement Era.) Without sin in this probation, Spotless stands but One alone; Yet we see, in all creation, Failings, only not our own . Faults of others, so much larger By our own faults magnified, Pass the lips of each accuser, Graver made and multiplied. Thus our tale, enlarged when starting, Ends in falsehood, low and base; And the spirit of truth departing Leaves this world a dismal place. Let us, then, when we are tempted To find fault with others, thus, Think that they when likewise prompted, Could as well find fault with us. E. Remington Davenport. Srasso (Kronstadt), Hungary.
