Best Words,

A loving word is always q safe word
1t may, or 1t may not. be helpful
word to the one who hears IT, but Is
sure to be a pleasant memory to the
one who speaks 1t. Many word
spoken by us is afterwards regretted.
But there will never come into our
hearts at such time a single pang
of regret over any word Of impulsive
or deliberate affection which passed
our lips at any time. We have rea-
son to be on our guard in our speech
in most directions; but We can be
feariessly free in our loving utter
ances. Apart from any question of
the good we do to others by our words
of love, we are personally the gain
ers, for now and hereafter, by every
such word which we speak out ex.
plicitly; and we are sure to be the
losers, now and by and by, from every
such word which We ought to have
spoken and failed to speak.-Ex-
