Frozen KINDNESS The world is
full of kindness that never was spoken,
and that is not much better than no
kindness at all. TIE fuel of the stove
makes the room warm, but there are
great piles of fallen trees lying among
rocks on on the top of the hill where no
body can get them; these do not make
anybody warm. You might freeze to
death for want of wood in plain sight
of all these trees, if you had no means
of getting the wood home and making
fire with it.
Just so in family love is what
makes the parents and children, the
brothers and sisters happy; but If they
take care never to say a.;word about 1T (;
if they keep it a profound secret as if
it were crime, they will not be much
happier thanif there was no love among
them; !. the home will seem cold even in
