: earthly store necessary for the su:
r tenance and maintenance of lif
and for the comfort and enjoymeu
of man, there should be one VIII
is lacking of the necessaries an
good things of this life. The earth
except as prevented by man him
self, yields in all the abundance of it
store. There is enough for all A kline
Providence has not been slack il
supplying with bOunteous sutficien
cy for every human need. Only
man has failed in its riGhtful use
and distribution.
There is no person who does not
live in conscious need of kindness
from some one, hidden though il
may be in the silence of patient
suffering. to whom it always comes
with special blessings and helpful
ness, or in some little expression of
a thoughtful kindness which never
fails to elicit a glad welcome and q
hearty appreciation.
Let us not suppose for moment
that all helpful kindness is connect
ed with material things. This is
often the least thing desired. even
when such help is needed. Money
will supply many needed things, but
there are things that money cannot
supply. Wealth will cover only a
small portion of life's needs. "
In blessing others, we also are
blessed, else it were no blessing at
all. Every act of kindness pos
Sesses within itself its own reward
for the doer. In the consciousness
of doing a kind act and the fact
that it has been helpful to another
should be its own and highest re-
ward.
The scattering of kind deeds
along our pathway through life is
often bread cast upon the water, to
'eturn to US il many days. AS an
in part of rewarded
kindness here is little story from
cal life:
A poor woman with her little
laughter, deserted by her husband
md father, landed at an American
,ort from a foreign country. Not
having any visible means of sup
tort they could not. under the emf
ration laws of the United States,
re permitted to stay here. and so
must be returned to their native
and. No place and no welcome
or them in this land of overflow
NJ plenty and happiness, but
IiendIess, they sadly awaited their
eportation: But, no, they are

assed, a young girl tenderly nursed
n invalid mother through long

D faithfully and unselfshly, was
OF forgotten by the ia mily, s
nd which was some day to her
lie rich return of a rewarded kind
ess, shown in the tender admins 4
alton and faithful service of the
OK room. A son of the invalid ,
