WOULD you have your songs endure?
Build on the human heart!

-Robert Browning.

SINGING Our songs as we go our way,

Do we know who may be leaning to hear?

· Anna C. Brackett.

THE IMMORTAL NOTE

I KNOW that love is never wasted,
Nor truth, nor the breath of a prayer;
And the thought that goes forth as a blessing
Must live, as a joy in the air.

Lucy Larcom.

KINDNESS is the music of good-will to men,

and on this harp, the smallest fingers may

play Heaven's sweetest tunes on earth.

Elihu Burrett.

IN the still air the music lies unheard;
In the rough marble beauty lies unseen ;
To make the music and the beauty needs
The master's touch, the sculptor's chisel keen.

Great Master, touch us with Thy skilful hand;
Let not the music that is in us die!
Great sculptor, hew and polish us; nor let,
Hidden and lost, Thy form within us lie!

IN

sweet sympathy the heart sings its loving ministries to many a wounded spirit.

Он,

to scatter blessings broadcast, to give without wish for return, to do good for the joy of it, to toss your good-will and heartiness right and left among men; to bring a smile to wan faces, hope into dull eyes, sunshine into dark corners, and so touch men's lives that they shall feel the passing of some benign influence, the presence of something divine-here are aims!

OH,

H, help us that these faces of our own be peace and joy and strength and sunny summer days to our friends.

THE widow's cruse of oil and barrel of meal in

creased as she distributed them; and a Christian's sunshine and happiness, faith and hope, will be invigorated and multiplied in proportion as he tries to make others hopeful, trustful, and happy. John Cumming.
