Mrs. Robert M. Price of Teller, Alaska;
writes that small parcels sent by mail
are more acceptable than large ones sent
by freight or express The charges on
freight are very heavy, and unless the
articles sent are good, more than their
value is paid for transportation. Good
books sent by mail would be more &C
ceptable and bandageS for use in cases
of freezing in winter could be sent by
mail.
When you go out in the morning,
Don't neglect the little chances
You will find along the way
For in lifting anothers burden,
And speaking a word of cheer.
You viii find find your own task lighter

Each moment of our lives
An embryo poem is,
Recording pain or bliss,
Each common object seen
Contains a hidden thought.
With subtle meaning fraught.
Mrs. Thomas Noble, Hill street, Ports
mouth, N. H. is an invalid confined to
bed and chair Rheumatism and heart
trouble render her entirely helpless. Her
eyes trouble her so that she cannot read
very much. If the members can devise
cheer for her, it would be a sunshine deed.
Cultivate kindness of heart; think well

Mrs G. L. Wentworth, Brownfield Cen

by her.
How much a word of kindness, encour-
agement or appreciation means to others,
sometimes, and how little it costs us to
give it..
A pocketful of sunshine
Is better far than gold;
1t browns the daily sorrows
OF the young and of the old;
1t fills the world with pleasure,
In field, and lane and street,
And brightenS every prospect
OF the mortals that we meet
In the course of our lives there must be
many times when thoughtless words are
spoken by us which wound the hearts OF
others. And there are also many little &C.
casions when the word of cheer Is needed
from US, and we are silent.
There is niche which only we can
fill service which only we can render.

All around today;
Fill the space with loving work
And within it stay;
Look not through thy sheltering bars
Anxious for the morrow,
God will help in all that comes,
Be it JOY or sorrow"
Kindness should be a law in the house
hold; it ushers in happiness and sweet
peace that can come in no other way; 1t
makes smooth the pathway of life; youth,
beauty and physical attractiveness may
be of the past, but kindness will last while
life endures.
