Not long ago I spent time in

newspaper editor, who has lived
seventy years in New York, says

day in which some one
done him a kindness.
In a little poem of
beauty Whittier tells of a man
who visited the village where,
many years before, he had lived
when a boy. Life had gone hard
with him and as he stood in the
little cemetery by a grave— it
was that of a little girl—he
remembered how as a boy he
had failed to sell a word and the
girl had been advanced to his
place. When school was over she

How few, if any, he thought
had ever been sorry to go above
him. They had been glad to do
it. In life’s stern school he had
found little kindness but a great
deal of harsh, ruthless treatment.
In their better moments men
have sensed that loving service
done for others is not the im
practical, weakly sentimental
thing which some have made out.
The distinguished novelist, A. C.
Benson, once lay for weeks at
death’s door. When he recovered
he wrote: “In those hours that
which comforted me was not the
knowledge of my literary reputa
tion or social standing; still less
the thought of any material pos
sessions; rather it was that on
some occasions—far too few I
confess — I had been kind to
people.”
Once when the .great stateman
and orator, Edmund Burke, was
in the midst of a bitter election
campaign, when men’s prejudices
distorted their judgments, he
wag about to address a meeting
at Bristol. Just before he rose
to speak a message was handed
to him, It was to the effect that
the severe nervous strain had
become too much for his oppon

from a heart attack. Burke was
deeply moved, so that for a
moment he had no words to
