The cheering word may only have been--"My dear, how sweet you are looking to-day! You do my old eyes good." Or perhaps an appreciative other-half has pressed your hand and whispered, "You are the bravest little woman in the world!" Who does not remember how, at such a time, the unexpected sympathy or encouragement brought the quick tears to the eyes, and to the cheeks the flush which meant a bound of joy from the heavy heart?
If we could but remember that we are told to "speak the truth in love!" In "love," recollect,--not in temper.

Do not be the accursed one by whom the offences come.

They will come.

The Evil One will look out for that, but it is not worth while for you to make his work too easy.

Determine to train yourself strictly to see the many excellent qualities possessed by your associates, and you will be surprised to find that before long the disagreeable traits will only appear as foils for the good.
