True Sympathy.

There is more sympathy in the
world than is generally supposed.
Many who seem to be self-absorbed
and unfeeling are not so really.
They are deficient in Imagination
rather than in heart. They cannot
put themselves in another's place
and rejoice and weep with him.
They are awkward in manner, too,
perhaps, and cannot easily express
themselves; bit the stammering
utterance of their feelings may be
more respectful to the sorrower
than the glib platitudes of those who
profess more. Any touch hurts peo-
pie suffering from some Affections,
and the truly sympathetic realize
this and keep silence.
The so-called sympathy of some
people is anything but comforting.
They enlarge to the sufferer on
the details of his affection, and
then exaggerate or make too little
of it. They prove conCluslvely that
twas all his own fault, and :hey
knew from the first what the result
would be. To such Jobs question
is very suitable-"How long will
ye vex my soul and break me in
pieces with words?" Often the best
