The Gentle Cynic

Editorial Wisdom from Universalist Leader
One Saw the rose, another felt the thorn. Beware of the laughter that never gets back of the teeth. A single act of charity covers sins and usually has to. Robbers we are when we take from children their natural democracy. A mediocre man can cut down a forest while one tree grows. If not for those infernally good, it would be easier to be decent. The church does fairly well with the people it has to do with. Happenings could not walk dark streets. Sunlight won.
