Control of windows: English travel

number Of us deserved It, Sympathy
is a great power as a maker of sun
shine. Think of the most sympathetic
man or woman you know, and think
how great and cheering an influence
that person exercised over you in some
time of trouble and anxiety. Very like

Sympathy, like mercy, 'blesseth him

of the joy of life. Among the poor
