"Are not tracts best to use with them?" Mrs. Swan asked.
"Use tracts or not, according to circumstances. Your own voice is often better than a tract, if it has the right ring to it. When
''Tis joy, not duty,

"I am here to answer questions, remember. Has no one anything to ask? Has no one found any difficulty to be met, and he does not know just how to meet it? Has no one found something to be done, and he does not know just who is to do it? Speak, and tell everything. Now is the time."
