A TIMELY
WARNING

Our ugly words upon the street
Are bringing us to shame.
We do not think how those we meet
May not have our low aim.
We yell a mother epithet
AS if it were a prayer;
We have a nasty line to let
No matter when or where
We may be found - this hurts the
race;
What are we to assume?
Unless this ceases we must face
A swift and certain doom.

The Friendly
|Neighbor

There was a widow, whom I once
knew, @
Who was always looking well,
She did so many good things In life,
That her story must tell.
She lived in a beautiful little
home.
Right near the open sea,
And in her cory front yard,
Was a very large tree.
There were flowers along the
pathway, @
That led into the steps, .E
And the green grass along each
side.
Seemed always to be wet.
The lovely lady Of whom I speak,
Was living all alone,
For the only relative she ever had
Had passed and wandered on.
She was very friendly with all her
neighbours.
And all their children too,
She did for them whatever she could,
Whenever she was able to do.
Each day she would visit some sick
friend,
Even those she never knew,
And everyone began to learn,
Just what a neighbor should do.
She gave gifts to all the children.
Whose parents could not give,
For all they earned were spent on
bread,
And a place in which to live.
At times she would keep the children
While their struggling parents
worked,
She even reared a young girl,
Whose mother died at her birth.
She accepted no money for her
deeds,
Instead she spent her own,
"some day I'm going home" she
And Christ will carry on.
At times our load seems so great
that.
It brings tear drops from our
eyes.
But let's bear it a little longer.
For Christ with us will abide.
Do you remember just how he died,
Upon the rugged cross,
To save us from our many sins,
And every soul that was lost?
For all his wonderous works we
praise,
And to his name we sing,
We hope to see him in Heaven.
someday,
When the bell begin to ring.
