BE GENTLE AND KIND.

For one soul saved by scolding and fault-finding, ten are saved by sweetness. For one soul saved by fear of hell, ten are saved by the thought of the love of God. A gentle voice and a smiling face make a religion beautiful to the miserable and the sinful, whereas gloomy looks and a harsh or condescending manner make religion seem a thing to be avoided. Do you wish to draw souls to God? Then let your soul reflect His love. Be gentle, be sweet, be patient. Practical people may condemn you, but only thus can you imitate Jesus.—Christian Uplook.
