A loving word is always a safe word
1t may or not be a helpful word to the
one who hears it; but it is SUE to be a
pleasant memory to the one who speaks
it. Many word spoken by us is after
wards Iegrette Il but no word of sittc-
tionste appreciation, to which We have
given utterance, finds place among our
sadly remembered expressions. Looking
back over our intercourse with a dead
friend or fellow worker, We may. indeed
regret that we were ever betrayed into a
harsh, or hasty, or unloving word of cen
sure or criticism in that Intercourse and
we may wish vsinly that We had now the
privilege of say ing all the loving words
that we might honestly have spoken
while yet he was with us, But there will
never come into our hearts at such time,
single pang of regret over any word Of
impulsive or deliberate affection which
passed our lips at any time.
We have reason to be on our guard in
our speech in most directions; but we
can be fesrlessly free in our loving ut.
terances. Apart from any question OF
the good We do to Others by our words Of
love, we are personally the gamers, for
now and for hereafter, by every such
word which we speak explicitly; and we
are sure TO be the losers, now and by and
by, from every such word which We
ought to have spoken and failed to speak.

During the siege OF Vicksburg, Grant

vigorously opposed the plan, and Sher-

guides told him that in their opinion more
fires caught from cigarettes than pipes or

fires originated through the carelessnes,
