of little kindnesses performed by those unselfish
souls who forget their own sorrows and as true followers
of Christ scatter happiness on every side, and
strew all life with hope and good cheer.

47. - abe Power of 5fIence
a strange power there is in silence! How
many resolutions are formed - how many sublime
conquests effected during that pause when the lips are
closed and the soul secretly feels the eye of her Maker
upon her. When some of these cutting, sharp, blighting
words have been spoken, which send the hot indignant
blood to the face and head, if those to whom they
are addressed keep silent, look on with awe, for a
mighty work is going on within them, and the spirit
of evil or their guardian angel is very near to them in
that hour. During that paw they have made a step
toward heaven or toward hell, and an item has been
scored in the book which the Day of Judgment shall
see opened. They are the strong ones of the earth, the
mighty forces for good or evil, those who know how to
keep silence when it is a pain or grief to them. - Anm.

48. -Zbe aitle of Our Zabp
HE title of "Our Lady1' first came into general use
in the days of chivalry; for she was the Lady "of
all hearts," whose colors all were proud to wear. Hundreds
upon hundreds had enrolled themselves in
brotherhoods vowed to her especial service, or devoted
to acts of charity to be performed in her name.
