Speak Kindly.

Yes, speak kindly. Why not !?
Why should not men who are asso-
ciated together in business study
and practice the law of kind words
toward each other? Why should not
the master speak kindly to his SER
want? Why should not one speak
kindly to stranger who may ask him
questions? Why should not those who
differ in opinion address each other
in the use of respectful and kindly
words? Why should not those who
oppose moral evils temper their Ian
guage with the law Of kindness in the
form of utterance? Why should not
the minister of the Gospel, the doc
tor, and the nurse in the sick-room,
the buyer and the seller, the banker
and the merchant, the governor and
the governed, the judge On his bench,
the warden of a prison, and indeed,
every man and every woman, on all
occasions, in all circumstances, and
under all provocations, both study
and practice the law of kind words in
the total intercourse of life from the
cradle to the grave?
We would like to have our readers,
each one for himself, ponder these
questions and also the title placed at
the head of this article. There is an
amazing power for good or evil in
words. A large part of human infiu~
ence is exercised through this chan
mel. What one is in life, how he af-
fects others, and how they feel to-
ward him, depends very greatly upon
the use he makes of his tongue, as
the instrument of an equally lawless
and acrid heart. hurting epithets right
and left at others, clustering the sens
Utilities of his fellowmen by his own
vehemence, and disgusting them with
his vulgarity, he may set it down as
a fact that he will make himself nu-
isance in the social system. Every
body will be afraid of him and man
age, as far as possible, to keep clear
of him. If, on the other hand, he
sweetens his own life with kindness
of feeling and kindness of words, he
will always be pleasant person to
meet, to talk with, and be acceptable
and agreeable anywhere and every
where. Society will find good use
for such a person, and will use him
to its advantage and his advantage.
Kind words are the cheapest, and at
the same time in practical power for
good results the most potent words
that one can use. Reader, speak
kindly. You will thereby avoid say
ing what might be offensive to 9th
ers, and while making yourself hap
Ply also make others happy.
