Our different social and religious
organizations are putting stress on
the kindly services we render one
another under the name of personal
service and it is becoming generally
understood that this is a higher form
of service than mere charity work
for it is broader in its possibilities
There is much done that we do not
hear about, but many kindnesses are
worthy Of mention for there is power
in suggestion. Mrs. H. B. Mckinley
. devoted an entire morning recently
. to giving the inmates of the Old
Ladies' Home a ride in her automo-
bile. Mrs. C. H. Carpenter repeated
the same kindness early in the week
, and this means much to those who are
q feeble and have no way to get out ii
b. Gods wonderful out Of doors. Mr.
q Noble Barnes has been taking fresl
lines to the Home which have bel
enjoyed and I would kindly sugges
9 that in thinking of nice things to dc
remember the nurses at the Hospit
al and convalescing patients who ar
!, from out Of town. Let us pass on
\ Joys and pleasures on.
