LITTLE THINGS

JOYPEACE

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, in its detection of crime and apprehension of criminals, has taught us the importance of small things in showing evidence of guilt. Men outwardly respectable, and, in some cases even pious, have been convicted of surprising crimes through some small negligence, revealing their part in the crime. A thread from a coat, a faint stain on a floor, an imperfect key on a typewriter, and elaborate excuses for innocence break down before the claims of justice. Perhaps it might be good to look at ourselves when it comes to little things: · Do I return borrowed books in reasonable time? · Do I call attention to the error in the total of a cash sale added in my favor? · Am I always prompt in my appointments? · Can I be frank in admitting responsibility for damage when nobody would possibly know that I was involved. · Do I always utilize my little loose minutes here and there in the best way?
