POWER OF KIND WORDS,

great power. such facility In the

opportunities for the application OF II,
and yet the world still what ii is, and

any acquired philosophical equanimity,

the help OF grace, the habit OF saying
kind words is very quickly formed,

SEEK AND FIND.

"Nli the world abounds in love-
II ye seek it as you may
Ye shall and that from above
Earth is flooded every day
not mid sordid. mean desires,
Not In lust that leads to crime;
These exhale from british fires.
Cursing man till end OF time
1,ut amid the pure and true
Souls may find undying streams,
Brimmlng full, where TO the view
Gods great love in glory CLEANS.
Seek ye there and ye shall find
Comfort for a wearied soul,
Health and healing for the mind,
While the years do ceaselcss roll.
Love Is fraught with JOY ana peace.
When the heart of self is void;
Love can bring sweet surcease
From great grief or rest destroyed.
Love mstills n blessed hope
OF immortal life at last;
Woes of earth may never cope
With success 'gainst powers so vast
Travllrs to that distant bourne
From which none may como this
way.
Listen and precept learn:
God is love, love God to-day,
And that land where all Is love
Thy blest home in joy shall be.
There Gods face DER all above.
Radiates Eternity.
