Some men move through life as "A band
of music down the street, hinging out
pleasure on every side through the air to
every one, far and near, that can listen.
Some men fill the air with their presence
and sweetness, as orchards IN October
days FIJI the air with perfume of ripe fruit.
Some women cling to their own houses
like honeysuckle over the door, yet, like
it, sweeten all the region with the subtle
fragrance of their goodness. There are
trees of righteousness which are ever drop
ping precious fruit around them. There
are lives that shine like star-beams, or
charm the heart like songs sung upon a
holy day.
How great bounty and blessing it is
to hold the royal gifts of the soul, so that
they shall be music to some, and fra
GRANGE to others, and life to all II
would be no unworthy thing to live for,
to make the power we have within us
the breath of other mems joy; to scatter
sunshine where only clouds and sorrows
reign; to fill the atmosphere where
earth's weary toilers must stand with a
brightness which they cannot create fol
themselves, and which they long for, en-
Joy and appreciate.
