JUST A LITTLE SONG.
Just little song, dear.
When the heart is gay;
Just a lifting measure
In the lonesome day;
Just a thread of melody
\ In the weary way.
Just little song dear,
When the burden binds;
Just a snatch of music
When the toiler finds
Life a little wearing,
And the days work grinds.

o you who have not yet learned precise
1y what your vocation is in life, would
you take up glorious vocation, blessed
beyond all measure? AS Christ walked
in the world, so also ought you to walk;
as he went round among the sick and poor
OF the earth, so also should you.-Tholuck.
Helpfulness- is the truest knighthood.
Serve God and be cheerful Live
nobly. do right and do good Make the
best of the gifts and the work put before
you. and TO God without fear leave the
rest.-Wflliam Newell.

Mrs. Haynes, president of the Minnesota
Sunshine society. SAYS: IF there is no
other way by which you can scatter sun
shine, there is always one way you can
help lift burdens and drive away the
clouds that hover over the lives of your
friends or acquaintance al some time or
other. 1t may be hard for you to speak
words of sympathy that will supply a
need, or it may be difficult for you to find
an opportunity of doing a kindly deed,
but the one way of giving good cheer
which Is easy for You and will be ever an
effective means of scattering sunshine is
to always be pleasant"
Wanted. cheerful men and women, with

enough long and sour faces. enough Of
chilling looks and exclusive manners.
Carry out your plans for kindness
Don't be content with starting out to do
a kindness or to help somewhere. The
household would go hungry if the meals
We're only half cooked, and half finished
kindnesses or no more satisfactory than
half cooked food. Make plans for help
fulness and then carry them out
We are so constituted that what is oc-
curing at the moment interests us often
out of all proportion to its Importance.
For example we are thrown off our bal
ance by the merest trifles, perhaps, which
occur today, but which, in weeks time
may have no significance whatever OBJ
stacles which seem like mountains, when
we meet them. dwindle away to MOLE
hills when we get away from them.
WHAT TO BE.

What eer betides by day or night.
A cheerful mind, like sunny CLEANS

To angry moods twill calm impart;

Twill courage and obedience speak;
Light. help and comfort wisdom grace,
All enter with cheerful face.

The coreopsis is the flower of the Min
nesota State Sunshine society. Emile II.
Darrow. of Waterford. Conn.,, has writ
ing beautiful poem under the title of
"CoTeopSiS:"
Thou little flower of gold
Bright emblem of loves day,
The world is not so cold
Where thou hast won thy way.
'Lifes good shall broaden still,''
Thy bonny message reads,
For there's a growing will
To cheer with kindly deeds''
Then speed thee East and West;
Go South and North unbarred;
And most thou shalt be blest
Where most lifes lot is hard.
If you viii be cherished when you are
old, be courteous when you are young.
An optimIst's Philosophy.
Frame your minds to mirth and merri-
ment,
Which bar a thousand harms and lengthen
life.''
This is an optimist's philosophy in a
nutshell, and its wholeSomeneSS cannot be
quetioned. THAT sounds very pretty"
