Show y Alluding to the good influence exerted bv a kind-hearted kind-hearted woman of humble life and retiring disposition, disposi-tion, a great writer on moral and religious subjects says: "What was the secret of her power? What had she done? Absolutely nothimr. but radiant smiles, beaming good humor, the tact of divining what every one wanted, told that she had got out of self and learned to think of others; so that at one time it showed itself by sweet words; at another, by soothing a sobbing child. Xone but she saw these things. Xone but a loving heart could see them. That was the secret of her blessed power. The woman who, whatever her station in life may be, will be found in trial capable of great acts of love, is ever the one who is always doing considerable small ones." |
