WORDS OF APPRECIATION.

Il am much interested in the Pages which reach
me every week. AS 1 read about those who are
benevolent and give freely it seems to me that al
though they think and expect to do good when they
give, they cannot know just how much good they
do after ALL from their point Of view things are
SO different 1t is only when an article that one
has been conscious Of needing for long time is
placed in ones hand by the I. S. s, that one can
realize just the good that is done. The giver can
not be made know what the want meant"

4 LITTLE HELP.

There's help In seeming cheerful
When a bodys feeling blue.
In looking calm and pleasant.
II there's nothing else to do;
If other folks are wearing.
And things are all awry,'
Don't yourself with caringi
Twill be better by and by.
When troubles march to meet you
Salute them at the door:
Extend both hands to greet them.
Their worst will soon be DER.
Beat down their stormy bugles
With your own rejoicing drums.
And. mailed IN lofty courage
Accept whatever comes.
