If you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command;

Reach an ever open hand;

Q er the erring You can Weep;

sitting at the Savior's feet.
A letter was recently received at New
York headquarters from a member who
writes that when her children were play
3hs at Keeping store they asked her TO
puY some of their toys for a real PEN
ny The thought came to her that
tn stray pennies they collected, posi-
Iy the toys also, and their childish de-
sltes 10 help somebody, might be crystal
I1eu INTO little sunbeam. 1t may be
that many young members have toys
Whlch they are now tired Of Why
could they not get up little sale and
help some poor child. Or. they could buy
The toys and then send them in to Sun
Shlne headquarters. Sc Fifth avenue, New
DIRK for distribution at Christmas time.
Smooth out those frowns;
They are the language of a hearts I'M
rest.
AS mourning gowns
Are signs that grief has left us some
bequest.
The world wants smiles.
Gladness light joyance, and that
heartfelt mirth,
: Which reconciIes
Its people to defects of fame or birth.
All Sunshine workers ought to be pro-
Tided with the boxes for the empty
stocking" fund, which may be had by
writing to our president general, Mrs.
Alden, 50 Fifth avenue, New York.
Goethe says that:
One ought every day to hear a little song,
TO read-a good poem,
10 see a fine picture, and, if 1t be posi-
10 speak a few reasonable words.
Far far more of sunshine would bright
eh our way, if, forgetful of self and our
troubles we had the will and would try
TO make other hearts glad.
Let us no more contend nor blame
Each other. blamed enough elsewhere!
But strive
In Offices of love how we may tighten
Each others burden in our share of woe!
Il YOU have religion and politics do not
get crOsSwiSe with a neighbor who diff
ferS from you. We are prone to despise
beliefs OF our own.
Give ME the tongue that always shrinks
From giving others pain,
The loving heart that never thinks
An act OF kindness vain.
Anoint my eyes, o God, to see
Tho beautiful and true,
And ready hands. oh, grant to me,
All blessed deeds to do.
One said: 81 used to ask myself May
say this Ill of my neighbour and I al
ways found reason for 1t. Now L ask
myself. Must I say this?' and I never
find a reason for it,
What blessed souls sweet love controls,
For help and kindly living,
They live alone to help their own
Hearts loving, true and giving;
They love to do the Masters will,
Unthnking and unknOwing;
AS dear old dying fingers keep
Their knitting work still going.
We live by days. They are the leaves
folded back each night in the great vol
ume that we write. They are our auto
biography. Each day takes US not newly,
but as tale continued. 1t finds us what
yesterday left us. And, as we go

something better or something worse, as
we decide.
Give thy hearts best treasures;

It is hard to work when the body is
