while you are alive , ancl able to witness and to rejoice in their progress ancl prosperity . " " Help Masonry !—Masonry in any shape ! You amaze me , Sir , " said the lady slily ; " I thought , Mr . Heathfield , that that Society was an abomination to you ?"
" Happy is the man who outlives his prejudices , Helen , " responded the elder gentleman , gravely . " I have seen something of its fruits . Many rash and hasty assertions have during a long life been made by me , but none more unfounded and ill-advised than that there is neither aim nor object in Masonry . Its basis is love . Does not that partake of the eternity of THE ETERNAL ?"

KIND WORDS .
Kind words are like the morning sun that gilds the opening flower , Kind words are like the blessings spread by ev ' ry summer shower ; They light the heart with sunny beams , they shed a fulgent ray , And cheer the weary pilgrim , as he wanders on Ms way . Let us hear none but gentle words—no tales of dismal strife , But only kind things whisper , as you tread this vale of life ;
Then try by every word and glance , the suffering to beguile , And watch them , when you speak kind words , how happily they smile .
