LITTLE MINISTRIES.

A single word is a little thing,
But soul may be dying before your eyes
For lack of the comfort g word may bring,
With its welcome help and sweet surprise.
A kindly look costs nothing at all
But heart may he starving for just one glance
That shall show by the eyeids tender fall
The help of a plying countenance
1t is easy enough to bend the ear
To catch sCme tale of sore distress;
But may be fainting beside US here
For longing to share their Wearlness
These gifts silver nor gold may buy.
Nor the wealth of the richest man bestow,
But the comfort of word, ear, or eye.
The poorest may offer wherever he go.
