Not, long ago an unfortunate tragedy occurrâ€" ed in this town and immediately waves of pulblic indignation swept: CONCERNING MEN AND DOGS “The more I see of men the more I think of my dog," wrote a popu- lar humorist many years ago. He did) not mean it: as a joke. Human being- are queer creatures. They are so ready to think evil of othergâ€"even of their friendeâ€"that one is tempted to believe the old theological doctrine of total deprav- ity quite ~oumd. Why otherwise is it so much easier to think ill of a man than to rbelieves in his initegrity, particularly if he has had the mis- fortune to have slipped once?

Douibrtless it is the intense atten_ tion paid to the marking of time that produces this all too human in,- clin-a-tion to reserve good} resolutions for the rbeginning of a year; which often results in marking time the rest of the year. A child informed by its parent that it had just beâ€" come five years old‘ gave back this birthday greeting: “I don’t feel five.” The assumption that in some way our feelings or our attitudes will be altered] ,by the mere passing of a year, or a decade, is at once a source of futile hope and- foolish fear.

TURN OF A DECADE Thirty goes into forty once in a century. The turn: of the year is the turn of a decade. fIlhere is some- thing epochal about a decade. The character of a. year is usually soon, forgotten. .But decades impress themselves more firmly on our mem- ories. One finds labels for them without much effwrt: the Gay Nine. ties, the Mauve Decade, the sedate hundreds, the trying, "(em the twinkling twenties, the throbbing thirties. In retrospect we recognize that the years are what we have made them, having that character which our behavior imparted! to them.

We never seem to learn that c'rcumistances rprove nothing, that a man may *be absolutely innocent of wrong doing even though the evidence at first available may seem damning. We forget that under British justice a man is always presmmed innocent until he is proved guilty. In law he is entitled to the benefit of every (loulbt. In private conversation, however, we so often forget about justice, and we all too often cynic- ally ’bring in a verdict of “guilty” before we have heard the testimony. We forget the injunction 011' the Mas- ter: “Judge not that ye be not judg- across the community, and} a certain official headl_was demanded.
