There are deeds of good. deeds of bad.
Deeds Of joy, and deeds that are sad;
There are deeds OF happiness. deeds of
sorrow.
Deeds OF yesterday and deeds of to-
morrow.
But ne'er a deed that has been afforded
Has ever gone unrewarded.
So the deeds OF the optimist. no matter
how tried.
Are the greatest deeds. and on the sunny

Our deeds are seeds Of fate sown here

Deeds is fine subject FOR the optimist
because they always return to US, for the
more we give the more we have. As
faith without works IS dead" so love
and sympathy without deeds is dead also
Z think the reason so many fail to do the
little deeds Is because they are so small
Remember the Master said. only sup
of cold water I'm Ny name"
II we could all remember 10 do a kind
deed as they come our way and as each
one comes TO us we would pass II along
to the next and they likewise on TO an
other we would form an endless chain Of
deeds OF mercy and love that would en-
circle the globe, with Christ as the cen
trail figure sending forth His beauty and
light 10 the uttermost parts, Illuminating
our hearts and lives.

Kind thoughts and kind words are both
good. but neither nor both together form
a logical whole. The existence Of these
qualities carries great responsibilities
which none should ignore. The compile
ment Of thought and word is action We
should take care that our good intentions
grow into good deeds at the earliest pos
sible moment. II your child deserves
commentator. give II now. don't wait
until there is cause for rebuke. II you
love your wife. tell her so. and kiss her.
II your friend asks Just favor, grant Il
now. Don't under any circumstances
carry your good intentions with you into
eternity; they are for immediate use.

There is something solemn and awful
IN the thought that there Is not a deed

The little deeds We do each day,
The kind words that we say,

Upon a soul that Is seemingly in the night.
Kind words and deeds We say and do
Help to bring us closer to.
Closer TO our fellow-man

Noble deeds command our admiration,
and we can point TO many notable in
stances where thoughtful deeds of kind
ness caused rejoicing and frightened
thousands OF lives. 1T is only what we
give we save; it is only what we render
TO others that survives death" Dr. Klopsh
who recently passed away. preached
with bread"-a sermon with a million
bushels Of wheat In ito the starving
hordes Of India. Over 10000 children
made happy at Mount Lawn by his kind
deeds. And the noble deeds OF Carnegie
are blessing the world. And we recall
many others whose good deeds cause us
to rejoice. Many OF ourselves. dear friend
optimists, can do no worldwide work
yet we can be on the alert each day e
keep good our optimists' motto, Lets

One good deed does more toward bring,
ing Gods kingdom on earth than a dozen
lengthy sermons We should practice
rather than preach. Do noble things. not
dream them. Every kind action brings
us nearer and helps others onward to the
desired heaven. No good deed. however
small. is ever lost, and its value will he
returned to US with compound interest
Then scatter with a kindly hand the
seeds of golden deeds that we may reap
an abundant harvest

Acts of kind deeds are Of themselves
acts of happiness. No reward coming
after the event can compare with the
sweet reward that went with 1t.
