Sergeant Broome looked critically at the rusty rifle, and then at the “rookie” private who carried it. “Private Darling, has all my talking been in vain?” demanded the sergeant. “Clean that gun, and be quick about it, or else there will be consequences.” In a few minutes Darling returned from his quarters with a shiny rifle ready for inspection. “Do you mean to tell me that you have that filthy rifle clean already?” challenged Sergeant Broome. “Impossible!” “No sir, I had picked up the wrong one by mistake, this one is mine.” “And who owns the other one?” persisted the sergeant. “You sir,” was the meek reply. This incident, illustrates a spiritual truth that is sometimes lost sight of. It is often the case that people overlook their own sins and shortcomings, but they are quick to see and condemn others, often for the same things.
