HabituaI Kindness.

There is no gift of grace that goes
further toward making one beloved
than the art of simple kindness, says
a writer. Just to be kind, in smile
and word and deed, is the shortest,
surest road to power over other lives.
1t is better to be kind than brilliant;
one brings affection and loyalty; the
other usually brings in it's train only
envy and bitterness. This adornment
of simple kindness is within the reach
of everybody. The grace is one that
grows in any soil, and beneath clouds
of sunshine, snow or rain. 1t has
taken centuries for men to grow into
anything like an adequate apprecia-
tion of the wondrous excellence of
Jesus; but the humble peasant by the
Lake Of Galilee or upon the hills Of
Judea could constantly discern and
understand his simple kindness. for
kindness is the universal language

them together, old men and old women
