BEAUTIEuL THINGS.

The beautiful thing are the things
we do, they are not the Things that
we wear, as we shall find when the
journeys through, and the roll calls
read up there. We're Illustrating the
latest styles, with raiment that beats
the hand; but the beautiful things
are the kindly smiles that go with the
helping hand. We burden ourselves
with cleaning gems, that neighbors
may stop and stare; but the beautiful
things are the diadems of stars that
the righteous wear. There are beauti-
full things in the poor mans cot,
though empty the hearth and cold
if love and service are in each thought
the husband and wife may hold. There
are beautiful thing in the lowest slum
where wandering outcasts grope, when
down to its depths they see you come
with message Of help and hope. The
beautiful things we mortals buy and
flash in the crowded street, will all
be junk when we come to die, and
march to the judgement seat. When
everything weighed on that fateful
day, the lightest thing will be gold.
There are other things beautiful with
in reach. today, but they are not
bought or sold.-Walt Mason.
