And if we are orImnary careless in doing the things
we meant to pay to the old and lonely; the word of praise
we meant to say; the appreciation WI meant to voice, and
that we never do.
A. doctor told m e ono that the most heartrending scene he ever WI
messed RAJ at the deathbed of a woman who had literally persisted of
said II affeetonate word to her in the whole of their married life. But
when he knew that his wife was dying, OF Blended knees h sobbed III
10 her the devotion and admiration he had always felt for her.
"Why did you not tell me this before ?? asked the wife. II could have
lived and been so happy il / had only known that you caredf for me-"
II never thought" said tho man
at is too late now the woman replied, and turned her face to tn
wall and died.
An old colored woman / once knew used to punish her
children severely whenever they made the excuse that they
didn't think. Didn't think, didn't Think" she would x
claim. What did God give you a thinker for if you don't
use i?" So say W Q all.
God help u to use our thinker and not to be guilty of criminal ear
