So easy, too, a needy soul to find; On every street, on every country road, Someone is load. burdened with a heavy The Good Book tells a story o[ a man, You know his name, The Good Sam- - arita.n; He found a needy one in sore dis- tress; He stooped and whispered words of kindliness. He took time off and brought him to an inn, And said, "I'll pay you when I come again." Two others passed that way, and saw him there - They lacked the human touch -they didn't care. We have newcomers in our town today; They are from other lands., far, far away, Willing to work and learn our language too. But crave a kindly word from me, from you. Where are we In this picture, you and 1? Are we helpers, or do we just PASS by? 'Tis Christmastime, let's help our feltowma.n. And be in truth a Good Samaritan.
