KIND WORDS.

By Carrie Butcher

CARRIE BUTCHER.
Red Oak, Tex.
A CRUEL or a thoughtless word May wound some heart forever. A hasty tongue, by anger stirred, Love’s strongest ties may sever.
A friend or foe may deal unfair; Quick to the brain it flashes, And if we do not have a care, Our tongue returns the lashes.
Ah! how we need to have our hearts Abrim with Christly meekness; For hasty words are fiery darts, And but betray our weakness.
Like lovely “pictures set in gold,” Are kind words “fitly spoken;” And we can give to young and old Their meed of this love token.
