SYMPATHY.
Feeble though our efforts be Let us do the best we can ; Smallest streamlets swell the sea, Drops swelled these, ere thence they ran. Drops of kindness, words of cheer, Heal the wounded heart and mind j A. soothing word, a tribute tear, May to ourselves a fond heart bind. Charity is not in giving Ostentatious alms to want, But with sympathy relieving Heart-aches, which our riches can't. Kindly feeling to our brother Is true charity of heart ; Helping, cheering one another, Is the Christian's rule and chart. Oft a word when kindly spoken Finds its way when riches pall ; And, to the bruised heart and broken, Sweet sympathy is all in all. Feeble though our efforts be Let us do the best we can ; Smallest streamlets swell the sea, Drops swelled these, ere thence they ran. It. DOETAIDSOtf. Waipuka, Feb. 1, 1860.
