KINDNESS.

OcSt IChuOIo tnO OUISOs to0e .
have 10 view to try to oxpiicste to
you ia a very hard one, l suppose
You will gay that l have taken too
many things to write upon hut the
reason that 1 have srlect+d sever
al SUBJECTS ia because I thought
maybe 1 could explsin more clearly
what 1 have IN mind for !ou.
Several have q ked me if / would
write ur"n the subject behavior
and tod them that | would try
Il is = very hard subj. Ct to witt mp
on hut as I saih would try, aud
y" l w,Il c. mbine the three SUBJ
jprts together being as follows:
Behavior, Ntatnees aud Kind-
ness. Dear read, r let me say to
you, with mere education these
three email words will take you
through life I'll right. M
Dsa, render 10, INT say. when you
go t. chutch 90 neat and with the
experiment If behavior and kind.
n-s-. Ifyou we're to 60 70 church
and ~" behave yourself would you
not feel like running when the
pastor got through With the srr-
lice, instead Of rpraking kind tn
him and saying srnetb,ns Ut prsise
in behalf at bis sermon, 81 dear
reader If you have ever been quit.
If such LIT me say to You uever be
uniltv IF the like Again.
Bot there are some who GO just
for the purpose Of showing their
nice dresring and t., ser that little
beaux or ewe-thpart and to wink
one eye across the ailes ut one an
other and ever now and then put
on one Of those pleasing little
smiles aud ray to himself: Oh
isn't ahe .wees? This ia all we'll
enough bn, you cnuld ~ait until
after servic-. Any one that il
guilty Of such could not even tell
you one word the preacher said
They did not go for the purpose Of
Listening, they went tn laugh and
talk and to aggravate the pastor,
and people who 60 for that pur-
pose ongat to be prayed for aud
talked to in a mild and kind way
by come friend. When you 60 te
church speak kindly t. all and
when service begins 90 in and cit
down and behave, do not 60 in
and commenced laughing aud talks
Jog and make fun Vt the way some
one IL dressed.
! II they arr dressed neat they are
jnst az good a. the Que that speaks
slightly of them il not better.
i Yong lady nr young man, II
the preacher was 10 have to call
your name aud tell you to behave
or stay at home and not come
there il you could not behaye In
time OF preaching would you not
have wished you had behaved
yourselself. But It will then be too
late, for the whole congregation
have formed their opinion of you.
so do not ever be guilty oi going
to church and not behaving your.
self. Ii you 60 there tor the Dur.
pose Of not behaving and keep it
{, up you will surely b. told Of it by
some one aud 40 stop right now
and thiok for just one moment how
il would hnrt you for the pastor to
tell you to behave yourself. 1t 10
certainly nice for Young people to
eW0y themselves and laugh and
talk. hut, let mt ssy do not 60 10
church and do such in time of
preaching.
/ May tho Dear Savior bless you
all, is my prayer, especially for
those who 60 TO church for the
purpose of not behaving and to
make the place If worship Q place
If m. ck~ry. May the deer Saviur
help them I" think and put it IN
to their minds that church il place
Of worship and NOT 20 there for the
! purpose OF n t behaving
