"SCatter
Sunshine
All Along
the Way"

OF oceans azure CULTS, and where he
filings,
The restless surge. Eternal Love doth
keep
In his complacent arms the earth, the
air, the deep.
William Cullen Bryant.
Many things can prevent you from sue
ceeding if you allow fear, anger and
jealousy to rule.
Zone ought every day." said the great
poet GCethe, at least to hear a little S, ng

II It were possible, to speak few rea-
is worth the trying. So little good comes
from melancholy, turning over past
troubles, crossing unbuilt bridges, and
muSing on the ShortnesS of life that we
wonder why more sensible folk do not
abandon the gloomy way once and for
ever and brighten up little. Foets
talk of sweet sorrow" but who has ever
experienced it's blessings, if it has any?
The more you think about your all

Enthusiasm in work is the best anti
dOte for no patronage that | know of for
any professional man. In fact, the rule
applies to every walk Of life. If your
heart is in what you have to do, no mat
y,
things are certain to come to you, and
in rich reward.-Theodore Roosevelt.
We often see whole store or factory
or home transformed by one sunny soul.
On the other hand, we have seen them
blighted and made dark by a gloomy,
morose, fault-finding person.
Part in kindness friends, nor take
With you memories that may make
All your lives a long heartache.
Part in gentleness and peace
Let all wrath and clamor cease,
Lest the bitterness increase.
Part, O friends, at morn or night
AS If death were just in sight;
AS if love were LIES own light.
Margaret E. Sangster.
What man is there over whose mind a
bright spring morning does not exercise
a magic infiuence?-Charles Dickens.
What is prayer for? Not to inform God
or to move him unWillingly to have mer-
cy, as if, like some proud prince, he
required a certain amount of recognition
of his greatness as the price of niS ia
Vor, but to fit our own hearts by con-
sciouS need and the true desire and de-
pendence to receive the gift which He
is ever willing to give, but we are not
always ready to receive.-Henry Ward
Beecher.
What a subtle kind of heartache we
give others by simply not being at our
best and highest, when they have to
make allowances for us, when the dark
side is uppermost in our minds, and we
take their sunlight and courage away by
unspoken thoughts, our atmosphere of
heaviness! Oh, to stand always and
eternally for sunlight and life and cheer.
There are three short and simple words,
the hardest to pronounce in any LAM
guage (and 1 suspect they were no easier
before the confusion of tongues, but
which no man or nation that cannot ut
ter can claim to have arrived at man
hood These words are, II was wrong"
Lowell.
TO criticise one for doing the best he
knows is like finding fault with garlic
because it's odor is SO rank.
'It is not the wealth we possess,
Nor the height to which We rise,
But the good we do,
That lives beyond the skies"
Never bring a human being, however
silly, ignorant and weak-above all, any
little child-tO shame and confusion of
face Never, by petulance, by suspicion,
by ridicule, even by selfish and silly
haste-never, above all, by INDUCING in
the brutal pleasure Of sheer, crush
what is finest and rouse up what is
coarsest in the heart of any fellow crea-
ture-J. G. Holland.
While the passion of some is to shine,
of some to govern and of others to ac-
cumulate, let one great passion alone In
fluence our breasts, the passion which
reason ratifies, which conscience APP
proves, which heaven inspires-that of
being and doing good.-N. P. Willis.
We cannot do right today and wrong
tomorrow 1t must be always right to-
day, tomorrow and every day, for only
by constant care and watchfulness can
we keep our lives near right when so
many stand ready to dim our light and
blight our hopes with temptation on all
sides. No life can be so beautiful as to
give light to others without having it's
brightness reflected on the giver. So,
not for one reason, but for many, should
our examples be of the best. If we
will be faithful we shall be blessed and
give joy to those about us. And thus
we may look forward hopefully to the
evening of life.
"And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away"
Benjamin Franklin relates an anecdote
of merry mechanic whom he noticed
at work in the happiest humor from day
to day. He questioned him on his high
spirits. It's no secret DOCTOR" he re-
piled. 81 have one of the best of wives
and when I go to work she always has
a kind word of encouragement for me;
and when I go home she meets me with
a smile and a kiss; and then tea is sure
to be ready, and she has done so many
little things through the day to please
me that 1 cannot find it in my heart
to speak an unkind word to anybody"
A little we'll earned praise
Harms no sensible man;
Then give appreciation
Always. when you can.
Many a heart has tainted
In life's toilsome ways,
That might have taken courage
At just a word Of praise.
