MAY TWENTIETH
Nature has written a letter of credit upon some men's faces which is honored wherever presented. You cannot help trusting such men; their very presence gives confidence. There is a "promise to pay" in their faces which gives confidence, and you prefer it to another man's indorsement. Character is credit.--William M. Thackeray.
Henry Drummond has told us how in the heart of Africa he came across men and women who remembered the only white man they ever saw before--David Livingstone; and as you cross his footsteps in the dark continent men's faces light up as they speak of the kind doctor who passed there years ago. They could not understand him; but they felt the love that beat in his heart.
Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.--James 3. 13.
My Lord, inspire me with kind words and thoughtful deeds, that I may share the yearnings and sympathy of others. May my life show that I am dependable, and may none be left lonely to-day because of my forgetfulness. Amen.
