"T EALOUSY is a mental disease which comes from the fear that we 
C$1 
U have of another getting possession of something that we love, and 
wish to keep for ourselves; the least interference with the object of our 
affection disturbs and disquiets the heart and mind exceedingly. 
Nothing is more common in the world, among all states and condi¬

Jealousy is found amongst musicians, painters, authors, sculptors—. 
on account of their art; amongst parents, on account of their children, and 
their beauty, cleverness and talents; amongst women, on account of greater 
magnificence in dress; amongst students, on account of the highest places 
in the schools; in private houses, amongst children, if one of them is more 
caressed by the parents than the other. 
Jealousy, as you see, is everywhere at work. How is one to cure this 
malady ? There is one great remedy for it, and that is Christian love. 
Love one another sincerely, with a constant, true Christian love, which 
never suspects evil of the beloved one, as St. Paul says: Love suspects no 
evil.”—I. Cor. xiii, 5.

to our sweetest memories !
