FORGIVENESS, TIMELY

That we should forgive the faults of friends while they are in the flesh and can appreciate it is the lesson taught by Mrs. Marion Hutson in this verse:

Somewhere in the future, my lone grave

Will lie where flowers bloom and mosses wave,

And friends will stand beside it, speaking low

Of things I said and did so long ago.

My faults and follies all forgotten—dead—

And buried with me in my lowly bed.

Oh, loved ones! why not bury them to-day,

And let me feel forgiven while I may.
