We want to thank our new teacher Laura Mast for the wonderful lesson she gave. It was lesson 21 The Power of Kindness. There was a lot of good comments, mostly on how we as women of the Church need to be the example in our home and the the world of more kindly acts. President Smith treated people with such kindness was his conviction that there is innate goodness in everyone. "Maybe there are sinners who mistook his love for respect. He didn't respect the sinner, but he loved him." I am sure that love found response in the hearts and lives of those whom he loved. "I feel sad," he said, "sometimes when I hear the unkind things that are spoken, not only of people in our Church, but of people in the world." Unkind things are not usually said under the inspiration of the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord is a spirit of kindness; it is a spirit of patience; it is a spirit of charity and love and forbearance and long suffering; and there are none of us who do not need all these virtues that are the result of the possession of the Spirit of our Heavenly Father. "I plead with you my brethren and my sisters, let us be generous with one another. Let us be as patient with one another as we would like others to be with us. Let us see the virtues of our neighbors and our friends and speak of those virtues, not find fault and criticize. If we will do that we will radiate sunshine, and those who know us best will love us."
