You can never tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be:
But with every deed you are sowing
seed,
Tho its harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil;
Tho you may not know, yet the tree
will grow
And shelter the brows that toll"

Rouse to some work OF high and holy
love,
And thou an angels happiness shalt
know:
Shalt bless the earth, while in the world
above
The good begun by thee shall onward
flow
In many branching stream. anc wider

The seed that in these few and feeting
hours
Thy hands unsparing and unwearied SOW
Shall deck thy grave with amaranthine
flowers
And yield thee fruits divine in heavens
immortal bowers.

Deeds and words either make or mar
| happiness. and when in doubt what 10
do it is a good rule to ask ourselves what
we shall wish on the morrow that we had
| done ''Our acts an angels are. or good
or III our fatal shadows that walk with
US still" So II we desire that good angel,
a quiet conscience. We must watch and
/ pray lest we enter into temptation.
/ I expect to pass through this life but
lonce. II, therefore, there be any kind
ness l can show or any good thing 7 can
do TO any fellow-being. let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it. for 7 shall
not pass this way again.-Grellet.

Deeds are to words as fruits OF trees
are 70 leaves: they show mans worth.
Actions speak louder than words" and
''verba morent, exempla trabunt" are
adages as true as they are old. Success
/ full business men owe their success to
what they call being doors" and not
takers" Men that are continually on
the go, and trimming with energy TO do
what they think is right good and beau
/ tiful. have no time to waste I'm sin
| Optimism would indeed have little value
] II its members did not live that life OF
/ love and cheerfulness that they preach
For the man OF theory is, like the fable
| OF the hare and turtle, unsuccessful; it is
the man who applies the theory that wins.

/ patient If We do not sec instant results

must be prepared for disappointments all
along the way. II takes a long time
sometimes before the influence is felt
and ,used. I put some plants In the
ground couple of weeks ago. and being

Let them alone. They will be all right
in due time" SO, sure enough. in going
into the garden this morning I was great

peeping above the ground. So let US not
