PHILIP WENDELL CRANNELL, PASTOR PERSONAL TO YOU. The Visitor is glad to welcome them also and assure them of our pleasure in their coming. If you have a friend worth loving, Love him. Yes, and let him know That you love him, e'er life's evening Tinge his brow with sunset glow. Why should good words neer be said Of a friend till he's dead? If you bear a song that thrills you.

Sung by, any child of song. Praise It. Do not let the singer Wait deserved praises long. Why should one who thrills your heart Lack the joy you may impart? If you hear a prayer that moves you By Its humble, pleading tone, Join it. Do not let the seeker Bow before his God alone.

Why should not your brother share The strength of two or three In prayer? If you see the hot tears falling From a brothers weeping eyes, Share them; and by kindly sharing Own your kinship with the skies. Why should any one be glad When a brothers heart is sad? If a silvery laugh goes rippling Through the sunshine on his face, Share It. lis the wise mans saying For both grief and joy a place. Theres health and goodness in the mirth In which an honest laugh has birth. If your work Is made more easy By a friendly, helping band, Say so.

Speak out brave and truly E'er the darkness veil the land. Should a brother workman dear Falter for a word of cheer? Scatter then your seeds of kindness, All enriching as you go, Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver, He will make each seed to grow. So, until Its happy end, Your life shall never lack a friend. Selected.
