The world is too full of sadness anG
sorrow. misery and sickness. 1t needs
more sunshine. 1t needs cheerful lives
which radiate gladness. II needs en-
couragers who will lift and not bear
down, who will encourage, not discour-
age.
Who can estimate the value Of sun
ny soul who scatters gladness and good
cheer wherever he goes instead OF
gloom and sadness? Everybody is at
tracted to these cheerful faces and
sunny lives and repelled by the gloomy
the morose and the sad. We envy peo'
pie who radiate cheer wherever they
90 and fling out gladness from every
pore. Money. houses and lands looE
contemplate beside such disposition
The ability to radiate sunshine is
greater power than beauty or thai
mere mental accomplishments. - Sue
