news OF INTEREST IN THE SOCIAL REALM Beauty Beautiful hands are those thsd weave Bright threads of joy in that grieve; Beautiful feet are those that run On errands of mercy from sun to sun; Beautiful lips are those that speak To comfort the mourner and hearten the weak; Beautiful eyes are those that glow With the light of a spirit pure as snow; Beautiful faces are those that seem With a love like God’s own love to beam; Beautiful forms are those that grace With gentle service the lowliest place; Beautiful lives are those that bear For other lives their burden otcare: The spirit of Christ where’er they go, Beautiful souls are those that show. —The Rev. Dudley Chase Abbott. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Life holds for most, my comrades, More happiness than pain. God gives a week of sunshine For every day of rain. So, trusting in the wisdom 01 His eternal plan, Let's face the rain or sunshine * And do the best we can. —Author unknown. The heart that is filled with bitterness will give vent to it in words. It sees nothing bright or beautiful because its vision is clouded. Words are a good test of temper and habit of thought. As “To the pure all things are pure/'so to the malicious and 111-tempered all things are black, unlovely and ill repute. Words are also the signs of thought, and if they be kind and good the words will be kind and gentle, free from malice and uncharita bleness. There is nothing that so refines the face and mind as the constant presence of good thoughts. —Selected. “JUST NONSENSE.” * ■ Wrong Guess. Teacher: “Who can tell me what useful article we get from the whale?” Johnny; Whalebone. Teacher; “Right. Now what little boy or girl knows what we get from the seal?” Tommy; Sealing wax.”—Chi cago Post. Tea for Visitors.
