sweetest. We would put pen in rest
ana tight valiantly in the support of these
assertions, but there are specks on the
mirror and without going into particu-
lar we suggest to feminine readers to
examine into their conduct and see il
they always accept politeness with thank
fulnesS and proper appreciation and do
not too often take 1t as matter of
course and worth little if any recognition.
1t is amusing to note the hauteur with
Which some women accept a seat in a
car. They take it as a right, not as a
courtesy. Their word or nod of apparent
thanks is given in manner that is me-
chanical.
Kind words are benedictions They
are not only instruments of power, but
of benevolence and courtesy; blessings
both to the speaker and hearer OF them.
Frederick Saunders.
IA little love, little cheerfulness,
little sense Of home along the way
little heartening in the battles stress,
And oh! this life is not all cold and gray.
But sweet with comfort and with
sunshine bright
If that we keep, each helping as he may,
These little things in sight"
Who reigns within himself and rules
passions and desires is more than a
king.-Milton.
Every selfish act, every narrow phase Of
interest, is veil of illusion which closes
out the real facts of life. The gateway
of knowledge is reached by the path Of
sacrifice or devotion, by the way Of love-
Cheerfulness is always a welcome visit
or, and such a health-giving one, too.
Let the spirit of good cheer dive beneath
the surface, however, and show itself in
real active kindness as.well as smiles and
good words.
Gould we draw back the curtains
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judge. we should;
We should love each other better,
If we only understood
Everyone who follows his or her own
chosen employment faithfully and dill
gently is to that extent one of the
worlds true and continuous giyerS.
The second of the two great command
ments which Christ taught was '.Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself"
Is cheer of thine own making?
Then make more.
Is joy of thine own taking?
Take store.
Cheat not thy life of gladness;
Spare thy tears;
Why cherish thoughts of sadness?
Why count years?
So free the sunshine falleth;
Take thy share.
keep heart, keep heart" hope calleth;
s'Cease thy care"
Have cheer of thine own making
Day by day;
Bliss of thy own free taking,
Thine Away.
Bliss of unselfish living,
Nobly won;
The joy of generous giving,
Like the sun.
Lucia Clark.
Nobody is free. We do not belong to
ourselves. There are countless people
depending on US, people whom we never
have seen or never will see What we
do decides what they will be.
It is an axiom as old as the Mosaic tab
let's, or older, that the very best remedy
for our own grief is to try to assuage
that of someone else. Charity is rather
mean by Helpfulness. The helpful per-
son may or may not be charitable in the
specific and practical sense of giving of
his means to help those poorer than
himself. He may be helpful only by
the ready proffer of a smile, a pleasant
word or little polite attention that
costs him nothing but is none the less
valuable to the recipient.
"You spoke one day a cheering word,
And passed to other duties;
1t warmed a heart, new promise stirred,
And painted a life with beauties;
And so for the word and the silent prayer
You'll reap palm sometime-some-
where.
