A Gentle Life.
In the news column of one
of the papers coming to our
hands was an obituary notice
of a lady who had died. It said,"1111 ' 7 ,u" T "v
"beautiful in person ar.d gentle
in manner, her unus.ua! charm
was the u ward expression o
an inward grace." We knew
vjry we'l the one f which that
was written and it spoke bu
prt of the truth However
the qualities that made for that
th3 geitljness, ti c grae. the
charm carm from s'methinc
that all do not have. It somf
sometime? tla' it or! cirrps
by native It is not acquired
This gen 1 j life is the one that
attracts every i li.-.v It nial;
ihe home bcauliful. Jri the
midst of trouble and discord of
" the world it is i.he quieti?
force. Stronger than all th
other f(;rc3s in t! e world. I
wins not by power of might
but by its very self. It. is win
ning No angry, sullen person
can withstand it. It is the
haven to which we . all go
Sometimes tre seom to have
nothing that can quiet us mix
ing with the world as we do
Then we come under the in
lluence ot tins gentle quie;
character and wo wonder if
there was anything that dis
turbed us af all It seketh not
itself, is no! puffod up, thinketl
no evii, is not easily provoked
It is such a person that is the
. ideal Christian. Wo wondei
someumes it it ir. a person til e
the rest. However in that ver
forgetfulness of self, in the soft
word, the kindly act, it more
than moves worlds and we see
that it alone of all other powers
is the true power. Others
seem to do things and they get
the credit, but back of th-m is
this one whose life given for
others has made possible these
things Has it done anythlrf
for the wnrid?. Is the worlo
better for it. We may not
count it. at the tine rs doi if
much, but when.it is gone then
we realize that it has been lit
greatest factor in many a deed
The rarm ry re-." f' ? ',r tu
