ACTS AND WORDS
OF KINDNESS
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
by James T. Crozier.

A little word of kindness said,
To one perhaps your foe,
You cannot realize the good
That little word may do.
'Tis better than a thousand words.
That you could say in strife.
And then perhaps you'll win a man.
Who'll be your friend for life.
'Tis said our tongues need watching.
AS the days are going by,
We're always sure TO gain a friend
When we're disposed 10 try.
Some kindly act-some little word,
Is sure to do it's part.
With those who do not care for us,
It's sure 20 reach their heart.
You want that loving spirit that
VIII prompt each one TO do.
To others always as you wish
That they should do to you.
If we obey the Golden Rule
Until we reach the end,
No man will ever be our foe.
For each will be a friend.
Then. when we reach our journeys
end,
And cross the narrow sea.
Wen hear the blessed words from
Him.
Ye did Il unto Me
Then help us. Lord as days 90 by,
To hold Thy loving Hand.
While on the journey through this
world,
To that sweet Beulah Land.

There comes a time always when
any great truth or testimony or cause
begins to separate men into classes -
those who hear and those who will
not hear. Truth divides as well as

others and causing new human poler-

that it might not end in failure and

Being a real Christian is no easy
thing, and real Christians are the only
ones who count. Very likely in our
haste to build up our church and make
a brave showing in statistics we have
overlooked the method of the Mas

where is the power? The day of the
ebbing of that tide of easy popular

the multitude was also the day of the
rising of a truer life Of power Here
after Jesus will have for His follow
ers a sifted group. There will be
grave deficiencies of insight even in
that chosen group and they will more
than once show themselves wanting in
full sympathy with their Lord. But,
