The fringes of a garment - might reasonably be—nay , actually were , by the Mosaic injunctiongathered up into tassels at the corners ; but certainly tassels could have no possible

LEND A HELPING HAND .
LOT a little ! Lift a little ! Neighbours , lend a helping hand To that heavy-laden brother , Who for weakness scarce can stand , What to thee with thy strong muscle , Seems a light and easy load ,
Is to him a ponderous burden , Cumbering his pilgrim road . Lift a little ! Lift a little ! Effort gives one added strength ; That which staggers him at rising ,
Thou canst hold at arm's full length . Not his fault that he is feeble , Not thy praise that thou art sirong : It is God makes lives to differ , Some from wailing , some from song . Lift a little ! Lift a little !
Many they that need thy aid ; Many lying on the road-side , 'Neath misfortune ' s dreary shade . Pass not by , like Priest and Levite , Heedless of thy fellow man , But with heart and arms extended , Be the Good Samaritan . Selected
