A Kind Word.

Many a friendship, long, loyal and
self sacrificing. rested at first on no
thicker q foundation than kind word.
Two men were not likely to be friends.
Perhaps each of them regarded the
other with something of distrust. They
had possibly been set against each 9TH
err by the circulation of gossip or they
had been looked upon as rivals, and
the success of one was regarded as in
compatible with the success Of the 9th
er, but kind word, perhaps mere re-
port Of a kind word, has been enough
to be the commencement Of an endur-
ing friendship.
