While reading the advice taken from the
"Ktd Man and Helper" wv mind flew in
stantly to a beautiful poem by Elizabeth
Barret Browning ou Serving
To oue who haB associated witb these
Indian children but a short time, it seems
that sympathy is the one tiling lucking in
their composition; however, taking into
consideration the fact lhat their ances-ors
once keenly enjoyed the torture of others,
; rne canm. b- severe, in iheir crit cfsui on
tiiU lat. Yet would it not be well to
teach them more gentleness to feeling and
nioieexpreesion of. sympathy.
Let them see that klod words, or a sym
pathetic look do much toward h-lpfngus
over the rouh places in pur every day
lives, and thus whit helping ether, we
help ourselves as well.
The liaes which were referred to are: -
"SERVING"
The sweetest lives are I hose to duty wed,
Whose deeds both great and small,
Are close knit slrands of an unbroken
thread f
Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpet
Ring no bells;
The book of life the shining record tells.
Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes '
After its own life work is done. A child's
Kiss set on tby sighing life shall make thee
glad,
A sick man helped by thee, shall make
thee strong, , i
Thou shall be served thyself in every
Of service which ton
