DON'T DELAY HeIpinu Others,

To do the right thing little late,
has much the same result as if one did
the wrong thing. A letter of sympa-
thy delayed several months, means
very little to the recipient. An offer
of helpfulness coming when your
friend has struggled through the worst
of Ter difficulties calls out very little
gratitude. Sometimes a delay of five
minutes will spoil piece Of helpful
ness as completely as if it had been
postponed for years. Learn to do the
right thing at the right time.
