Dear Children:
I am copying below a clipping
sent us by Bonnie G. Adams. 1t is
SO in keeping with our motto that
am copying it for you to keep.
Lovingly,
Kind Words
Speak kindly in the morning; it
lightens the cares of the day and
makes the household and all other
affairs move along more smoothly.
Speak kindly at night, for it may
be that before dawn some loved
one may finish his or her space of
life, and it will be too late to ask
forgiveness.
Speak kindly at all times; it en-
courages the downcast, cheers the
sorrowing, and very likely awakens
the erring to earnest resolves to
do better. with strength to keep
them.
Kind words are balm to the soul.
They oil up the entire machinery of
life and keep it in good running or
der.
