Dear Cousins: Kind words are as the
| breath of the dew on tender plants; they
! gently fall upon the dropping heart, refresh
ing its withcred tendris and soothing it's
burning woes. Bright GASES they are in
| life's great desert. Who can estimate the
panGs they have alleviated the good
works they have accomplished? Long after
they are uttered do they reverberate in the
soul s inner chamber, and sing low, sweet
strains that quell all the raging storms that
may have before existed And, oh. when
the heart Is sad, and like broken harp,
| the sweetest chords of pleasure cease to.
yibrate, who can tell the power Of one kind
word! One little word of tenderness gush-
ing IN upon The soul will sweep the long
neglected chords and awaken the most pleas
ant strains. Kind words are like jewels in
the heart: never to be forgotten, hut, per-
haps to cheer by their memory a long, sad
llfe; while words of cruelty are like darts
IN the bosom, wounding and leaving sears
That VIII be borne to the grave by their
victim Kind words are balm to the sNl.
They oil up the entire machinery of life
and keep it in good running order 1
haven't room for the poem, for I fear I've
already broken the rules. Write to me,
cousins. 1 have lots OF pretty poems III
send to you upon request. An old cousin,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Pardon me
for coming again so soon. l want to thank
you Tor printing my other letter. I am
twenty-eight years old, considered, by soma
or the cousins, as an 'old maid" but my
heart is young yet for I can love Love is
probably the most interesting thing in the
( world. Perfect love casts out fear and it
also casts out doubt. Love, being the
strongest force of all forces, is that which
needs discipling most. Love which knows
/ Nv toH'Iol NIlcn is not criticised by the in
( telltgence and which viii not form for itself
wholesome habits, is as dangerous as the
torrent which VIII NOT stay in the river bed
or the IRE which becomes a cOnfIagratio ion.
/ There can be no love without faith. The
( desire of the flesh is not evil of itself. it
/ is the soil from which leve springs With
! out the earth in which to grow, there can
/ be no lily. The Bible informs lis that love
/ Is the greatest thing in the world, and that
/ God himself is love. Thus, both from the
! flesh and from the spirit comes the con-
| 1rmatIon Of the Importance of love
/ Inc Old cousins las somebody may cal

| feel like somebody will call me an "old
! maid. But when we see and hear of so
/ many unhappy welded boys and girls we
/ can thank ourselves for orr life of single
