Honorable mention is awarded the fol-
lowing:
Outward expressions OF kindly feeling
produce an endearing charm, a quick
ened sympathy, an irresistible apd ingra-
tiating quality that every character
should acquire. Kindness Is one OF the
sparkles Of life, a transcendent joy max
ing all mortals kindred-the happy, the
sordid, and the sorrowing
Is street northeast
Comfort one another.
For the way is often dreary,
The feet are often weary,
And the heart very sad
When heavy burden bearing.
When It seems that none are caring,
Kind words are like mama from the skies.

The gentle ministries Of kindness which
you take time to perform as you hurry
from task 10 task In your busy days viii
give you the sweetest JOY as you remem-
Der them in the after days. What these
ministries are 20 those who receive them
you never can know till your heart is sad
and lonely and one comes TO you in turn
with the true comfort OF kindness" Train
yourself 70 the habit OF kindness and con-
sideration. BE ready 10 speak at any
time the kindly word which shall tighten
the burden OF the one you meet. Every
where are lives that need and crave Just
the simple act OF kindness that we can
do and which costs us so little.
Just once in while II we'd lay down our
load
OF worry and work by the side Of the
road
And a bit Of the love that we're feeling
expend
On sister or brother. or parent or friend.
In words that would tell them their near
ness make light
The path which alone we srope through
the night
How Oft we'd be blessed with an answer
L we'd only think to be kindly just once
in while.
Just once in a while II a hand were but
pressed.
A shoulder but pstted. word but ad-
dressed
That would kindilness speak 10 the one
by our side.
Would not Joy spur the feet 10 a magical
stride
AS they wended ,aeir way down ufes
nain-traveled road2
Would not griefs slip away and thus
tighten the load?
For ourselves and for others we'd shorten
each mile
If we'd only think 20 be kindly Just once
in a while--Greene.
