Deal Gently.

What a world of happiness and love
this would be, were we all to obey
this simple command A few words
of love and kindness are more sure TO
guide the erring in the path of right,
than a lifetime Of harsh dealing. Sis
tiers, deal gently with an erring BROTH
er, for the kind words of a loving sis
ter are sweeter far than music in q
brothers ear. Brother, listen and
obey the commands Of loved sister.
1t you are travelling in the downward
path, l admnnish you, hear the gentle
words of a sister. Her words may fall
unheeded now, but perhaps when the
voice of that loved one is hushed, when
she can no longer plead with you,
her gentle and loving admOnitionS
will haunt you day and night, and the
pleasure you sought for will net be
found until you seek and travel in the
path that she has pointed out to you.
| have often thought, we're wives to
deal more gently with their husbands,
husbands to treat their wives in like
manner, there would be thousands Of
happy homes where now misery reigns.
Should it be the lot of any young la
dy TO he welded to an Incorporate
husband, deal gently, for you will new
er reclaim him from the paths of vice
by dealing harshly.
