Praise
~ Or. FRANK CRANE

Risk it,
Don't be afraid. No bones were ever
broken by appreciative remarks.
Go ahead. Say it. You can hardly come
in contact with anybody without noting
some commendable thing. Speak of it.
And if any criticism, any salt or sour
word comes up in your throat, swallow
il back.
What vast, kindly, benevolent, bot
tomless pit is the pit of the great Unsaid!
1t is the Gehenna valley Of our lives,
where lie the burnt refuse of our unNnd-
nesses.
You are full of gentle thoughts and
gentle words, only you do not realize how
full until you begin to speak.
Unstop your generous impulses. Turn
on the fountain of your praise.
For this world of human hearts Is dry
and dusty. Most men and women go
about smitten with cruel thirst. The
sons and daughters Of men perish for APP
probation.
Then water them. Sprinkle them with
the gentle rain Of your cheering words.
Drop the dew Of your admiring glances
and warm smiles on the just and upon
the unjust, with heavens indiscrimina-
ton.
Contwist you, smile!
We Americans are an odd lot We are
soft as wax in our hearts, full of generous
feeling, hungry to help the next man.
But We hate TO admit it.
