Kindness. Ike unseIfsh love. comes from
the heart,
And is not confined to condition or
creed
It IS perennial when given start

True worth is in being. not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little goOd-nOt in dreaming

Do YOU wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day.
Just 70 scatter seeds OF kindness
As YOU pass along the way.
For the pleasure OF the many
May be ofttimes traced 70 one.
As the hand that plants an acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.

so many gods. so many creeds.
So many paths that wind and wind,
When Just the art Of being kind
Is all this old earth needs
True kindness is the offspring o. love.
Not love En- any narrow or restricted
sense, but OF that broader love which
recognizes the kinship of all living things.
When We fully realize that life IN its
many manifestations is one. that that
life which manifeSts itself In the seed
grows I'D In the plant and frUctlfes in
the fruit IS the same lie which reveals
itself IN the human cell. grows up In the
child and flowers in the deeds OF the
man. We are better able TO understand
that We cannot harm one living thing
without doing violence 10 ourselves. that
we cannot help one living creature with
out doing a kindness 20 ourselves To
give OF aid that we may win the approval
or regards Of another is not kindness. but
2 crude counterfeit Of e. Kindness gives.

and for no other reason Il gives itself

There are times when the heart Of the
world vibratss with gratitude TO some
one whose beneEceace has deserve edly at
tracted worldwide attention. At such
times We are prone to Join IN the plaudlts
or the multitude and covet earnestly the
means 20 show kindness IN the same
magnificent way. forgetting Oftentimes
that our own pathway is continually
crossed by those who are hungering and
thirsting for Just the ilttle common kind
neSses that each one OF Us can show. We
need love as a quality Of daily life. rather
than as a sentiment. We need the seeing
eye. the hearing ear. the understanding
heart. and the ready will Thus equipped.
We shall be ready 10 serve the best inter
ests OF others. and this, whether IL is 70
do or TO refrain from doing. IS what We
mean BY being kind"

We cannot all give great gifts. We can
all give kind word OF deed and reach
more IN number perhaps than If We could
give fewer and larger ones. We cannot
all go 20 Niagara 20 look upon that awe
inspiring scene. but we can all drink
from the little springs: We must have
them-we need but one Niagara
We speak OF the power OF God. but Z;
Is the kindness OF God that works Won

II is not a kings voice that we hear: 1T

elder brother Every line Of The Sermon
on the Mount is the law OF kindness and
love
What the world needs to-day more than
anything else is kindness on
the part Of parents. kindness on the part
OF teachers. kindness on the part OF chill
dren. and kindness and sympathy to the
poor. the weak and afflicted everywhere.
Kindness begets love. never hatred. and
human hearts everywhere are hungry for
that kindness and love.
