One of the things we can do for the
good of others, and incidentally for
our own also, is to call at the house
of a friend who is i'll or indispoSed,
to ask how she is, and to inquire if
there is not some way in which we
can be of service. One mother whose
child had a tedious illness said she did
not know how she could have kept
strong and hopeful had it not been
for the kindness of her neighbors and
friends. Often when her heart would
almost fail within her some kind
mother or interested father, or bright
young girl, would stop ''just mo-
ment to ask after that dear little
man." The sick child, too, was pleased
by the attentions, for he, like all his
beings, loves to be loved. While
it may take a bit out of an already
full day, while it may mean walk of
several blocks when we are already
tired, to perform this little errand, we
are amply repaid by the knowledge
that even tiny ray of sunshine has
thereby aided the lighting of a path
that is heavily shadowed.-Boston
