Eternity will tell"
How many, many troubles has our
tongue been responsible for. There
are some people who are never will

one has done an unkind act OF said
an unkind thing TO or about them,
they are too willing 10 'ake Il up and
talk about It, saying oftentimes what
they would give anything they possess
to recall. But word once spoken Is
gone from us forever.
IL is far better to suffer under false
accusation than TO retaliate by saying

Keep me from thoughtiess words
That slip out unawares."

distributed 10000 bouquets which had
been sent to tie Sunshine headquart-

papers for flowers for the sick, the

and we will see to it that they go 10
where they viii be gladly received
and take with them peace and good
cheer.
We would particularly like to receive
flowers on Saturday mornings-let that
be your flower day for the poor.
We wish to thank the lady who 81
