Some one has said:
II isn't enough TO be "sorry"
For troubles our neighbors may feel;
Quite useless the pity" we tell Of
Unless we use action TO heal
Kind words, tho so welcome in sorrow,
Take wings and fly of into space,
But deeds help the downcast take cour-
age
Their fears and their terrors to face.
