obServant minister how deep beneath
the surface the waters of feeling flow.
There is not task on earth more diff
ticult than to administer soothing syr-
up to one of these sensitive plants.
There is not kindness offered a son
or daughter of woman that is more
gratefully returned when it is under
stood and accepted at all.
But it is no clumsy hand or heart
that can effect this miracle of sooth-
ing the fret of such a spirit, casting
out it's distrust, oiling the creaking
joints of its affectional rustiness and
tenderly and wisely and efficiently
Oiling its joints. This soothing syrup
is in fact lubricant of the first quail
ity, and like oil upon the troubled wa
ters it sOOthes and arrests disturban-
ceS that left to themselves would
make shipwreck of whatever lives
sail over their troubled surface. Tho
friction that is engendered in coming
in contact with others so unlike our
selves is at best no little, and it is al
ways necessary that the wisdom of
some divine ministrant be on hand
with the bottle of soothing syrup to
reduce the inner irritation.
Beloved! consider this morning the
bottle of soothing syrup. 1t is a lit
tie thing, but in skillful hands It
works the miracle of calming the
troubled spirits of earth and bringing
in peace and harmony where other
wise war and discord would prevail.
II to any of you is given this divine
gift Of administering this blessed balm
for FRACTIONAL souls, be We thankful
therefor, for there is no service on
earth that comes so near that of the
heavenly minsitrants as this of heal
ing the hurts of the hearts of sorely'
tried men and women. Among the
beautitudes it is plainly in order to
place this and say BLESSED Is the
hand and the heart that can and does
administer soothing syrup" Upon
them shall the blessing of innerpeace-
making rest.

way, tormenting themselves with their
prickles. Nor is this to be smiled at
as an idiOsyncrasy for which they are
responsible. Some warping in their
natures, either the result OF not being
born right, or of not being bred right,
or the Outcropping of fatal heredity,
las warped their affectional natures
and they cannot seem to rightly place
themselves in the world. These peo-
pie are to be pitied, not blamed, just
as the crosseyed child is to be sympa-

straight. The strength of vision is
in that squint-eyed child, but the abil.
ity to see straight is not there. So
in these others, the ability to feel is
keenly present, often abnormally so,
but the power to feel naturally and
BEAUTIFULLY is not there and friction
is the necessary result, and for that
friction ofsoul the soothing syrup bot.
tie is needed.
No one on earth is more to be SYM
pathized with in the kindest and most
tender manner than one of these SEN
sitve children of affectional strabis-
mus. They are the deepest hearted
and the most tender hearted of all the
children Of human kind. They love
with an intensity and they hate with
a bitterness that is not known or I'M
derstood by ordinary men and women,
but in them love is the distinguishing

kindly ministries and soothing Offices
with a heartiness, albeit it is at first
distrustful and shy, that shows to the
