Love Much.

For unto every one that hath shall it
be given, and he shall have abundance;
but from him that hath not shall be taken
away even that which he hath."-Mat-
thew ky, 20.
Every man, woman and child have
within their hearts in some degree a
fondness or affection for relatives or
friends which, under favorable conditions
and proper cultiva ton, will develop into
love for all mankind, and with this love
growing and expanding in the light and
warmth of the glorious sunshine comes
the desire to make everybody happy. Ex-
perience teaches us that the more we
have of this love for humanity which i'm
pels us to little acts of kindness to
strangers as we'll as to friends, the more
is this love given unto us. There is no
limit to the abundance of love which we
may possess and our lives are made
richer and happier thereby. Experience
also teaches that the man, woman and
child who allows the natural affection
that is born in them to be dwarfed~>and
stunted and shriveled in the darkness and
gloom Of SelfShness, sooner or later
"shall be taken away even that which he
hath and the loss of love will be far
greater than the loss of wealth or fame
or power. ..
Love much Earth has enough Of bitter in It;
Cast sweets into the cup wheneer you
No heart SO hard but love at last may win it.
Love Is the grand primeval cause of man.
All hate is foreign to the first great plan.
Love much. Mems souls contract with cold sus-
picion; .-.r 4.
Shine on them with warm love, and they ex-
pand.
IT'S love, not creeds. that from a low condition
, Leads mankind up to heights supreme and
grand
Oh that the world would see and understand
Love much. There is no waste in freely giving:
More blessed it is, than to receive
He who loves much, alone finds life worth living;
Love on, thru doubt and darkness, and believe
There is nothing which love may not achieve.

Your Humble Work.

The sunlight clings to the mountain -
And softly covers each peak,
The flowers below in the valley
Are lifting their sweet heads, meek. ?
The snowdrops CLEAN on the mountain,
The rainbow's colors fall clear,
The valley has verdant meadows
Stretched in beauty far and near.
There are no flowers on the mountains,
IT'S the sturdy vale they love,
Tho the heights may claim the grandeur
With the bright blue sky above
Yet, below them the humble flower
Breathes forth the fragrance given.
Thus its mission it is fulfilling,
AID leaves the rest unto heaven.
