OPEN THE DOOR Open the door of vour heart and let in the sun- shine. If you but knew the secret sorrows and trou bles of those you hate and despise, your sym- pathy would go out to them. You would lend a helping hand instead of turning a deaf ear and a cold and stern counte- nance. Opportunities for great and unusual service to our fellow men come but seldom, and then find us unprepared. But there are thousands of oppor- tunities for smaller serv- ices that are even morc important and far- reaching in their effect. To help a weaker brother, to feed a hungry child, to shield and assist a fallen woman, is an action of a hero. You need not go out of the beaten paths of your life to find ways of usefulness to mankind. All that is asked of us is the right performance of our everyday duties.
