There seems to be a probability that the
Jews will secure possession of Palestine
under charter from the Turkish sultan.
1t is stated that there are funds avail

a likelihood that the negotiations looking
toward this end are expected to be sue

for the sultan to refuse anything that
was likely to replenish his exhausted
treasury, If the charter is granted, the

The following beautiful. poem has been
set to music and copies of it can be had
by addressing international headquar
ters:
The thing that goes the farthest toward
making life worth while,
That costs the least and does the most, is
just a pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from the heart
that loves it's fellow man
Will drive away the clouds of gloom and
coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness, too, with
manly kindness blent-
It's worth million dollars, and it doesn't
cost a cent.
There's no room for sadness when we see
CHEEKY smile
1t always has the same good look-lt 5
never out of style;
1t nerves us on to try again when failure
makes us blue,
The dimples Of encouragement are good
for me and you.
1t pays higher interest, for 1t is merely
lent
It's worth a million dollars, and it
doesn't cost cent
The smile is very easy when skies are
bright and clear,
And yet how oft we all forget the magic
of a tear;
1t SparkleS round the heart-StrlngS thfo'
1t lifts the clouds of sorrow and drives
them all away.
So smile away; folks understand what by
a smile is meant
It's worth a million dollars and it doesn,
cost a cent.
Greatness is to take the common things
Of life and walk truly among them
Olive Schreiner.
No stream from
It's scarce flows SeaWard,
How lonely soever its course,
But some land is gla1dened;
No star ever rose and set
Without influence somewhere,
And no life can be pure in its purpose
And strong in it's strife
And ali life not be purer and stronger
thereby.
Fog in ones spiritual life need be no
more lasting than that in nature. Keep
in range of the great sun of love, and 1t
will burn it up and bring clear sky again.
Tt is of more value to you to know
of one ounce of wrong IN yourself than
to have a hundredweight of praise.
Speak to others as you would like to
be spoken to.

can produce it as cheaply or approx
mately as cheaply as it can be produce
ed elsewhere, the farms, plantations and
factories of the United States should
supply a quantity at least sufficient for

THE Rev ]. Howard Hobbs, of jana

society:
I'm conception and execution this love
idea is both unique and workable. Born
of sweet tenderness, of compassion for
every form of disappointment and dis
temper, by it's very name the sunny work
won immediate and phenomenal favor.
Keenly sensitive to the existence of an
all too great host, who, because of LIES
ills and inequalities, found little sun
shine to chase away the shadows, and
We're too often among the unremembered,
save by the closest-by, the International
Sunshine society has carried good cheer
to an increasing multitude and has made
love force both to thrill and inspire
Free from cumbrous machinery and de-
void of those things that confuse and ex-
haust, it lends itself to an infinite variety
of ministrations and inspiration. Lest it
should be misinterpreted the object is
clearly stated, to incite the perform
ance of kindly and helpful deeds and to
bring the sunshine of happiness into the
greatest possible number of hearts and
homes. Its genius vibrates in every syl-
liable of its creed: Have you had a kind
ness shown? Pass it on, and its spirit
sounds in every note of that joyous hymn
Scatter Sunshine which only a cynic or
a brute would refuse to sing. Its deeds
do not shake empires or form material
for the morning newspapers. Napoleon
would have sneered at their Importance,
and Emerson would have ignored their
consequence. But a swelling host has
already discovered that a guild whose
membership is of those who are DESTROYS

COMFORT ONE. ANOTHER.

The feet are often weary
And the heart is very sad.
There is heavy burden-bearing
When it seems that none is caring,
And we half forget that ever we were
glad.
Comfort one another;
With the hand clasp close and tender,
With the sweetness love can render,
And the looks Of friendly eyes.
Do not wait with G, ace unspoken,
While lifes daily bread is broken.
Gentle speech is oft like mama from the

By the hopes of Him who sought us
In our peril-Him who bought us,
Paying with his precious blood;
BY the faith that will not alter,
Trusting strength that cannot falter,
Leaning on the One divinely good.

Sandby. I'm glad to see you. Pray, is
it YOU or YOUR brother?' 1t was a Span

English shopkeeper who Gid pretty well
in the direction of the bun proper when,
to recommend the durability of some
fabric for lady's dress, he said: Ma
dam, it will wear forever and make
YOU a petticoat afterward.' This is
