Show THE BETTER THINGS OF LIFE. (By Benjamin Keech.) 'Tis better to speak kindly words, 'Tis betterjo. do kindly deeds, Tis better to know " That the seed you may sow Will blossom as flowers, not weeds. 'Tis better to do with a will The duties that come, one by one; 'Tis better to say At the close of the day: "I have tried to leave nothing undone. ' 'Tis better to cultivate love. Contented with blessings of worth-'Tis worth-'Tis better to' fight For the cause that is right Than to covet the riches of earth. 'Tis better to smile, tho' the heart Be burdened with sorrow and pain; 'Tis better to smile. For 'tis always worth while. And we'll : ever pass this way again. -, j I |
