Hints That Will Help.

The art of saying appropriate words in q
kindly way is one that never gets out OF
fashion, never ceases to please, and is With
in the reach of the humblest.
Occasionally we have an experience that
arouses a suspicion in us that we really
haven't much more sense than we used to
have, after all.
Write your name in kindness, love and
mercy on the hearts of those who come in
contact with you, and you will never be
forgotten.
The wise way to benefit humanity is to
attend to your own affairs and thus give
other people an opportunity to look after
theirs.
He that wrestles with US strengthens
our nerves and sharpens our skill, Our an
tagonIst is our helper: 49,.
The attention paid to inconsequential
things causes us to overlook many that are
great.

Our Little Lives.
Oh, patient Christ! when long ago
Ger old Judea's rugged hills
Thy willing feet went to and fro,
To find and comfort human ills
Did once Thy tender, earnest eyes
Look down the solemn centuries,
and see the smallness of our lives!
Souls struggling for the victory,
And martyrs finding death was gain,
Souls turning from the truth and Thee,
And falling deep in sin and pain =,
Great heights and depths were surely
seen,
But oh, the dreary waste between
Small lives; not base, perhaps, bus
mean;
Their selfish efforts for the right,
Or cowardice that keeps from sim
Content only to see the height
That nobler souls Will toll to win!
Oh, shame, to think Thine eyes should
see
The souls contented just to be
The lives too small to take in Theet
Lord, let this thought awake our shame,
That blessed shame that stings to life;
Rouse us to live for Thy dear name,
Arm us with courage for the strife,
Oh, Christ! be patient with US still;
Dear Christ: remember Calvary's hill
Our little lives with purpose fill!
