NEWS 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. Club Meeting Mrs. J. D.
