VALUE OF POLITENESS.
Politeness is one's most valuable asset, both financially and socially.
It costs nothing, and profits much; it makes the one who practices it happy as well as the one receiving it. Every one sho\ild show marked politeness to their elders.
Especially polite children are loved and noticed by everyone, while no one cares for rude, impolite children. Eeery one should practice politeness, as it will do more to better the world than any one thing; in fact, it covers everything.
One to be a good Christian has to be polite. A rude, impolite man or woman cannot have much influence. We all enjoy going into a nice, polite home We love to be associated with such people. If all would practice politeness more we would be happier, and I am sure we could make our friends and associates happier.
Parents should begin with their children while they are small, and not only teach' them, but should practice it themselves, for after - a child has formed habits it is very hard to change them, and if they would practice it as well as
teach, their children wouldn't know anything else but to be polite.
