VOICE As INDEX OF MIND.
How to Get Mild, Gentle and Sym.
pathetic Speech.

Cultivate mild, gentle and sympa.
thetic voice, says Ebert Hubbard in
Lfppincott's.
And the way to secure a mild, gen.
tie and sympathetic voice is to be
mild, gentle and sympathetic.
The voice is the index of the soul.
Children do not pay much attention
to your words-they judge of your in
tents by your voice.
Your voice treasures. my sheep
know my voice"
We judge one another more by
voice than language, for voice colors
speech, and If your voice does not
corroborate your words, doubt will fol-
low:
We are won or repealed by a voice.
Your dog does not obey your words;
he does, however, read your intents in
your voice.
The best way to cultivate voice is
not to think about it.
Actions become regal only when
they are unconscious; and the voice
that convinces, that holds US captive,
that leads and lures us on, is used by
its owner unconsciously.
Fix your mind on the thought, and
the voice will follow. If you fear you
will not be understood, you are losing
tne thought-it is slipping away from
you-and you are thinking of the
voice. Then your voice rises to a
screech, subsidies into a purr. or bel
lows like the vagrant winds. Anxiety
and intent are shown, and your case
is lost.
If you fear you will not be under
stood, you probably will not. II the
voice is allowed to come naturally,
easily, gently, it will take on every
tint and emotion of the mind.
And 10, to get back to the place of
beginning, the advice is this: The
best way to cultivate the voice is not
to cultivate it. Tue voice is tho
sounding-board of the soul. God
made it right. II your soul is filed
with truth, your voice will vibrate
with love, echo with sympathy and
fill your hearers with the desire to
do, to be and to become
Your desire will be theirs.
BY their voices We shall know them.
Peaco-be still! Feel that, and
then say it, and your voice shall be .
word of command that even the ele;
ments will obey. 49,. +
