Do Kind Deeds Now.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your
love and tenderness sealed up until your
friends are dead Fill their lives with
sweetness. Speak approving, cheering
words while their ears can hear them, and
while their hearts can be thrilled and
made happier by them. The kind things
you mean to say when they are gone say
before they go. The flowers you mean to
send for their coffin send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before they leave
them.
If my friends have alabaster boxes laid
away full of fragrant perfumes of sympa-
thy and affection which they intend to
break over my dead body, / would rather
they would bring them out in my weary,
troubled hours and open them that ! may
be refreshed and cheered by them while /
need them.
would rather have plain coffin with
out a flower, funeral without a eulogy,
than life without the sweetness of love
and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint
our friends beforehand for their burial.
Post-mortem kindness does not cheer the
burdened spirit. Flowers on the coffin
cast no fragrance backward over the weary
way Unknolsl Author.
