Cultivate a Sweet Voice
Church Advocate.

There is no power of love so hard to
keep as kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in flesh
and blood, yet do the work of soft heart
and do it with soft touch. Bat there is
no one thing it so much needs as a sweet
voice to tell what it means
and feels, and it is hard to
get and keep it in the right tone
One must start in youth, and be on the
watch night and day, while at work and
while at play, to get and to keep voice
that shall speak at all times the thoughts
of Il kind heart. But this is the time when
a sharp voice is most apt to be forgotten.
You often hear boys and girls say words
at play, with quick sharp tone, as if 1t
were the snap OF d whip. If any of them
get vexed, you will hear voice that
sounds rs if it were made up a snarl, q
whine and a bark. Such voice often
speaks worse than the heart fees 1t
is often in mirth that one gets voice or u
tone that is sharp, that sticks to him
through life, and stirs no wind and grief.
and falls Ikea drop % g1,' on the sweet
Joy of home Such us these get a sharp
home voice for use ano keep their best
voice for those they meet els wherp, Just
as they would save their best cake and
pies for guests and ali their sour food for
their own board.
would say to all girls and boys, Use
your best voice at home" Watch it by
day as pearl of great price, for it will be
worth more to you in the days to come
than the best pearl bid in the sea, A
kind voice is lark's song to the heart
and home. 1t is to the heart what light is
to the eye
