You are the best and worst Of everv
thing you require,
If you nave looked on shame willingly.
yoars is the shame

81 have received several letters Of good
cheer from members of the l. S. s., but
can't imagine where they got hold OF my
name. Truly, / appreciate the CORE
sponGence highly" writes a Sunshiner,
Mrs. f. l. Howard, OF 959 Reaney street,

1t is worth while to do even the
smallest Kindness as we go along the
way. Nothing is lost. No dewdrop per-
ishes, but sinking into the flower makes
1t sWeeter"
IF wrinkles must be written upon our
broWs, let them not be written upon the
heart. The spirit should not grow old
james A. Garfield.
A member writes: "In spite of the
grip, my life is full of sunshine, never
theIess l am Obliged to manufacture
quite a good deal out of rather 11lmsy
material, sometimes. We all do, don't
we? But The more 1 look about me, the
more l see the need of giving a lift here
and there-and the more l lift the more
sun | See--So I've at last arrived at the
delightful spot where only sunshine the
puest, truest, beams that are born Of
sympathy, charity, peace, hopefuiness
and and helpfulness-can make me truly
best. We have to work for it; but the
glory that it brings TO our lives and the
lives OF others is ten, yea hun
dred fold recompense."
Doing little good is better than doing
no good. But dong good as We have OPP
porrunity is even better than doing a
little good, for every one Of us has OPP
portunlty of dong good IN more than
one way, and usually to more than one
person. every day eof our lives. There
fore let us do good, as we have oppor-
tunity and let US watch for opport uni
ties. Our power to find opportunities
and to meet them viii grow with it's eX-
ercise. All OF US can do great deal
Of good.
It is surprising how much good a 5-cent
piece OF ice viii do. Especially, a Sun
shine piece. During the intense heat In
the great city OF New York little babies
suffer untold agonles from lack OF ice.
Everybody Is invited to contribute to the
ice fund The call has been nobly re-
sponded to bV many branches and mem
bers. Minnesota Sunshiners should not
be behind in this special good-cheer
work. Distribution is gong on, ana
many happy reports have come from
poor homes where Ice has been sent. All
money contributions for ice should be
sent to the International sunshine So
Getty. &c Fifth avenue, New York city. A
scent piece may save a life. 1t IS estl-
mated that during the recent heated
term over LOCO persons died in Greater
New York alone from heat. The suf-
fcring by thousands was dreadful, espe-
cially among the children and babies OF
the poor.
It has been reported by some Of our
members that they have been approached
by persons soliciting small sums In the
name Of the International Sunshine So
ciety, pointing to the reports in the daily
papers, and the page in the Ladies Home
Journal as telling about tpeir work. The
International Sunshine society has no
magazine of its own, and Is asking no.

publication called Sunshine" The La
dies Home Journal and the daily papers

shine society meetings and are the only
publications with which the international

in mind that such solicitations as men
toned above are swindles
