There is a strange absence of uplifting, wholehearted, cheerful words
We let our friends go through life, without enough tokens of appreciation .
We avoid compliments.
We hide our tender interest and our kind feelings from them.
We are afraid to give one another words of praise or of encouragement — in case we should seem to flatter them, or we should encourage their pride .
Even in many of our homes, there is a strange absence of uplifting, wholehearted, cheerful words .
Let us not be afraid to say appreciative and complimentary things, when they are deserved and are sincere.
Let us lose no opportunity . . .
to show kindnesses,
to express sympathy,
to give encouragement.
When encouragement is warranted — our silence can be sinful.
