THE CREED OF A CONTRIB.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed
up until your friends are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness.
Speak approving, cheering words
while their ears can hear and their
hearts can be thrilled and made
happier by them.
The kind things you mean to say
when they are gone, say before
they go,
The flowers you mean to send for
their coffins send to brighten and
sweeten their homes while they
live.
II my friends have alabaster
boxes laid away. full of fragrant
perfumes of affection which they in
tend to break over my dead body. I
would rather they would bring them
out in my weary and troubled hours,
that may be refreshed and
cheered by them while / need them.
would rather have a plain cof-
fin without flower, a funeral
without eulogy, than a life without
the sweetness of love and sympa-
thy.
Let us learn to anoint our
friends beforehand for their bu-
rial.
Post.mortem kindness does not
cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers
on the coffin cast no fragrance
backward over life's weary way.
