Robert Louis Stevenson’s Advice to Ciass of Giris

Robert Louis Stevenson was once called upon to address a Sunday school class of young girls. He told them the parable of the talents, and then went on to say that there were three talefits every one possessed and ought to make us of. “Tongues that they must use to cheer and make happy all around them; faces that they must keep bright as new shillings, so that they might'shine like lamps in their homes; and hands that must be kept employed in useful work cheerfully done.” Very good advice in these war days for all of us, whatever our age or sex. —Exchange?.
