VALUE OF KIND H7ORDS.

Kind words do not cost much. They never
blister The tongue or lips; and we have never
hraId OF any trouble arising from this quarter.
Though they do not cost much, yet they ac-
complish much.
L. They help ones own good nature and good
will Soft words soften our own soul. Angry
words are fuel to the flame of wrath, and make
il blaze the more fercely.
2. Kind words make other people goodnatu-
red Cold words freeze people, and hot words
scorch them, and sarcastic words lrrItate them,
and bitter words make them bitter, and wrath
full words make them Wrathiul.
There is such rush of all other kinds OF words
in our DAYS, that it seems desirable to give kind
ones chance among tem. There are vain woI ds,
and idle words, and hasty words, and splteful
words, and silly words, and empty words, and
profane words, and toisterous words, and war
like words.
Kind words asogroduce their own image
on men s souls; and sabeautiful image it IS
They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer'
They shame him out of his sour, morose, un-
kind feelings. We have not yet begun to use
kind words in such abundance as they ought
to be used. They should be on our lips from
morning till night.
