If all persons should possess spirit
of kindness and try to make things
pleasant for everybody, things would
go on much better. While we must not
expect perfection among mortals, and
should cultivate forgiving spirit we
should realize that ingratitude Is one
of the worst Of faults. If supposed
friend is unkind or ungrateful, the
wound is deeper than If made by a
stranger, or one not a friend.
