spreads gloom, and merTy-making
makes all merry. This Ia explained
from the mouth Of babes and suck
lings, In the quaint words Of the little
boy -four years old. who was found
crying.
why do you cry. my nstis rnanr-
he was asked,
Because" he sobbsd pitsously. my
poor husband IL dead and gone to
heaven"
This had been the reason given for
her tears by his injudicious nurse.
The child's sympathy and emotion
was sincere. despite the way 1t ap-
peals to you. sympathy Is thus
shown to be a feeling like another's
from what Is perceived. The nurses
tears and not her particular emotions
made the child's feelings similar to
hers, yet Independent of her particu-
lar ones.
Love, sympathy and compassion are
one, even though not precisely the
same. AS you must understand an
others nature and character, even to
partially sympathize with them. you
cannot wholly dislike him. Love con-
tains sympathy first or last 1t is not
lasting IL sympathy IL lacking. Com
mon interests and harmony Of feel
ings mako sympathy. This in turn
ripens into love.
This unity OF sympathy and love
leads to compassion for those in dis
tress. Thus the picturesque language
OF the street Is all the nearer to be-
ing correct when the word "sympa-
thy" is used to mean affection. A
sympathetic man Is q lovable kind
hearted. human fellow without the
Tsrtuffian, 10y precision Of an eye
for an eye, a tooth for tooth, or q
pound Of flesh for each human err
ror.
Sentiments are organized feelings
directed toward people, conditions or
things which you have yitalized in
your mind. You can have no senti-
mental regard for strictly material
things. There must be . vital spark,
a spiritual note In It
