We ought to think of other people’s convenience more than some of us do. The home is the place where this thoughtfulness ought to begin and be cultivated. One who comes late to breakfast admits that be is guilty of an amiable self-indulgence, but forgets that he has marred the harmonious flaw of the household life, and caused confusion and extra work. The other day an important committee of fifteen was kept waiting for ten minutes for one tardy member, who came sauntering in at last without even an apology for having caused fourteen men a loss of time that to them was very valuable, besides having put a sore strain on their patience and good nature. Common life is full of just such thoughtlessnesses, which cause untold personal inconvenience, and ofttimes produce irritation and hurt the hearts of friends. We ought to train ourselves in all our life to think also of other people.
