We must keep our hearts tender. Do
you ask me how we can do this? The
answer is very simplicity putting our
selves constantly in helpful relations to
others. DO the Kind deed on every op-

we often curb our Kind feelings and re-
strain them. We shut back the sympa-

our tongues become dumb to that kind
