Message
SPEAK KINDLY.
BY REV. ]. EVERETTE NEESE

Speak kindly, for our days are all too
few
For any angry strife;
There is deep meaning, if we only
knew,
In our brief life,
No nobler mission can be ours if we
A pang can stay;
Or if, amidst the rush of tears we see.
Wipe one away.
Speak kindly, Gracious words, God
sent, God given,
Are never lost;
They come all fragrant with the
breath of heaven,
Yet nothing cost.
Kind words are like kind acts-they
steal along
Life's hidden springs;
Then, in the darkest storm, some lit
tie song
The sad heart sings.
Speak kindly, graciously for all a
round
Are pains and smarts
The very air is full OF means and
sound
! Of breaking hearts.
Seek seek to bind them up as once
did He
Thy gracious Lord;
Then surely will his hand Destow on
| thee
