OF INTEREST IN THE
tt~- ■--£======
To lift the pitying glance,
To stretch the helping hand,
To show before the world
Your heart’s clean, pure delight
When fate has planned
That you may stoop beside the one
On whom a robber’s hand
Hath dealt a cruel blow—
And stooping there
Pour wine and oil and healing balm
Into the gaping wounds.
Nor when the world with cruel darts,
Has bled the soul of fellowman,
Or whipped the wail from childish
heart,
Or wrung the tear from woman’s eye,
Forget to bend and stoop and lift—
Help sorrowing souls their burdens
shift. —Exchange.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Too much of joy is sorrowful,
So cross must needs abound;
The vine that bears too many flowers
Will trail upon the ground.
—Alice Carey.
