Talk faith. The world Is better or without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
II you have faith In God, or man, or self,
Say so; II not, push back upon the shelf
Of silence all your thoughts till faith shall
come,
No one will grieve because your lips are dumb
Talk health. The dreary, never. changing tall
OF mortal maladies is worn and stale.
You cannot charm, or interest, or please,
BY harping on that minor chord. disease.
Say you are well, or all Is well with you,
And God shall hear your words and make
them true.
