( 355 ) 
Speak gently, kindly, to the poor; 
Let no harsh term be heard; 
They have enough they must endure, 
Without an unkind word. 
PRAISE. 
Praising what is lost, 
Makes the remembrance dear. 
PRAYER. 
— Anon. 
•— Shakespeare. 
Temporal blessings Heaven doth often share 
Unto the wicked, at the good man’s prayer. 
— Anon. 
The saints will aid, if men will call; 
Por the blue sky bends over all. 
— Coleridge. 
More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. 
— Tennyson. 
Let thy prayer be work and work thy prayer, 
As God’s truth and love are everywhere, 
And whether by word or deed thou strive, 
In Him alone thou canst be alive. 
—Tennyson. 
PRIDE. 
Of all the causes which conspire to blind 
Man’s erring judgment, and misguide the mind, 
What the weak head with strongest bias rules, 
Is pride , the never-failing vice of fools. 
— Pope. 
’Tis not the fairest form that holds 
The mildest, purest soul, within; 
’Tis not the richest plant that folds 
The sweetest breath of fragrance in. 
-Anon.
