THE MINISTRY OF LOVE.

The memory of a kindly word For long gone by, The fragrance of a fading flower Sent lovingly, The gleaming of a sudden smile Or sudden tear, The warmer pressure of the hand, The tone of cheer, The hush that means “I can not speak, But I have heard!” The note that only bears a verse From God’s own word— Such tiny things we hardly count As ministry, The givers deeming they have shown Scant sympathy. But when the heart is overwrought, Oh, who can tell The power of such tiny things To make it well! —Philadelphia Press.
