SPEAK COMFORTING WORDS
By Mrs. Geo. A. Irwin
A SISTER wrote asking me to call on a friend at the Sanitarium. I made the visit, and in the course of the conversation I spoke of many being prejudiced against us as a people. My hostess said, “Is it not strange? I am not. But do you know the reason why? It is because of the example Mrs. —— [the sister who requested the visit] set before me. I never met any one who can comfort people as she can, and do so many kind little things for others.” Sisters, that set me to thinking. I wondered whether we are all comforting the sick and burdened ones as much as we can, and whether we are watching for opportunities to render little kindnesses. This would be pleasing to the Lord, and would remove prejudice. Shall we not go and do likewise? I feel anxious that we may all get such a burden for souls that we shall not leave these duties undone.
