Appreciation Is practical grautude-the
placing of value upon the many blessings
which too often we fail 10 appreciate"
Thackeray says: 1--WE take such life Of
ferings as our due, commonly.
It is only in later days. perhaps, when
the treasures Of love are spent. and the
kind hand. cold. which ministered them.
that we remember how tender Il was,
how soft to sOothe. how eager to shield.
how ready TO support and caress." Let
US not wait until these kindly agents Of
Providence are cold in death, and bring
our tribute of reverence and gratitude,
It may be. to a gravestone," for although
there may be IAN acceptance even there
for the stricken hearts oblatlon OF fond
remorse, contrite memories, and pious
tears" yet the safest plan Is to strive
to crafty willing hearts and hands
those who say Let's help"-by a prac-
teal application Of their kindly advice.
and an earnest effort TO benefit by their
honest endeavors.

II Is said that women have truer ap-
probation Of character than men. but
have known men TO truly appreciate
faults In those who were trying to do
their best We may hold one in high
esteem for doing something grand and
noble. but it is the little acts Of kind
ness we appreciate most. One should
not grieve because he or she is not ap-
preciated, but should rather show their
great appreciation for the many things
others are doing for them. There Is so
much to appreciate in this beautiful
world of ours, that one is always sorry
for those so blind that they VIII not see.
