UncnE ABB. “Kind words can never die.” There is both truth and poetry in the line, But they can get severely frosted in this world. When you speak well of others asa habit, few pause tu listen to you. The vitriolic tongue can command much more at- tention to the distorted brain which can coneeive of no good in others. When you recount deeds of kindness or point to marks of virtue the world seemecold with moral deat- ness. To every faultheld up to view the same ears are willingly acute and the same souls electrified with moral criticiem. There isno poetry but much of truth in the old and homely saying, “A lie can travel miles while truth ie getting its breeches ,on.” The basest slander has its eager audiences. Virtue proclaimed is a dull story; boresome and sneer-breed- | ing. The mark which slander loves | best is one where virtue chalenges honest criticism. The soul with blurred escutchion draws no firefrom slander’s tongue. Is the whole world out of joint? No. But the whole world should occasionally turn its criticising eyes inward. The world is full of fault. It is also full of good. ! Keep your eyes and ears open for the good.
