What q cold world this would be
without sunshine. There would be no
spring with it's flowers and green trees,
no summer with it's watermelons and
peaches and grapes, no beautiful
a ,tumn with its apples and yellow
leaves. If we had no sunshine the
world would be 60 cold that people
could not live. See how many people
come to Ell Paso every winter to get
sunshine. Turn over log in . damp
place and you will find bugs and hzsrds
and flies under it., Let the sunshine
at Them and they die. Nothing grows
in cellars where it is dark. We lik.
sunshiny people. They cheer us up.
They are like bands of music sending
ont cheer every place they 60. Do
YOU know all good natured people are
good looking? If you want to be god
looking be good natured. Good natur-
ed people may not take hne p 90

no sermon for those who persist in be-
ing sour and who wash in vinegar. l

along and said to the sexton: "Who's
d. ad?'' $50 and So" replied the sex
ton. "What complaint" said the
stranger. mo complaint, no COM

sexton.
Let US all cheer up. A boy once
:Girls is q nuisance. Girls scream and
eat up all the ice cream. Girls is like
fees they follow you when you don't

much. Girls is cry babies like our
pun. Girls can't 20 to war. l w1eh my
mother was little boy" That was 9
funny boy. But here is an essay girl
wrote on "Boys." ''Man was made
before woman. When God looked At
Adam he said think can do better II
1 try again-then he made Eve. Goo
liked Eve 80 much better than Adam
that he has made more women than
men ever since. Boys are . trouble.
Boys wear out everything but soap
If 1 had my way one half the boys
would be girls and one half would be
dolls. nv papa Is SO nice that think
he must nave been little girl when
he was a little boy" Sunsh1nel Let
US have . whole church full this morn
ing. Let US be like the little girl.
Her mamma said one day" What
makes you so very sweet, Lillie?" ''Oh
I don't know" said Lille. 'dess'when
bod made me he must have put little

How many reasons we have for be-
ing thankful. It il like moving; We
do not know how much we have until
we move. Let us be thankful for good
homes, schools, moe clothes, churches,
Sunday schools, health-Oh, 30 many
things. A king once told all his people
he would give q prize to the prettiest
baby in his kingdom. Many mothers
brought their babies. Among them a
monkey came with his monkey baby.
Every body laughed at the ugly nat
nosed monkey baby, but the mother OF
the monkey baby said, II think my
ALL" It 10 90 nice to have q hopeful,
contented, thankful, joyful, spirit.
Sunshiny people, how we love them.
Boys and girls, the happtest part OF
your life is before you. Get ready for
it. Your hsppiest moments will be
when you are doing something to make
tho world better and you SEQ your
work grow. Cultlvate ROOO manners.
Sit up straight. Let lots of air into
your lungs. Don't get stopped and
round shouldered. Take care of your
health, don't be slouchy. No girl
should go about with buttons Oh heI
dress or shoes or with her hair un-
combed. No boy should keep his hair
like q chestnut burr or 60 about with
one pant leg turned up and the other
down. Slouchy boys and girls make
slouchy men and women. Be happy
be clean, be. polite. Oh, that we al.
might look as pleasant IS We do wheu
we are having our pictures taken
Sunshine! Sunshine!
