TAKEN FROM EXCHANGES.

Almost every day we see a report of q
new Sunshine circle and often in connec-
tion with other organizations. There y e
circles OF Maccabees' Social clubs, Shut
Church societies, Old Men Young Ladies'
Country clubs and, in fact they range
from the highest to the lowest In the
land, rich and poor all enroll under the
Sunshine banner
Over 300 papers and magazines devote
space to the Sunshine society. One rea-
son for its widespread popularity is that
IT originated among newspaper people,
We have been watching the reports for
several months and the variety of work
that the different branches take up is al
most as numerous as the branches them
selves.
There seems to be almost no limit to
the different lines of philanthropic work
that Sunshine does not touch on.
Of all the work that has come under
our observation the work of the N. c.
Sunshine society, who have formed the
Bill Nye Memorial circle, strikes US as
the most fitting as the famous humorist
was the 'sunniest' sinner of them all,
and who gave his whole life to make 9TH
ers happy.
We see that the press throughout the
states are taking up the work and are
sending contributions to the Bill Nye
Memorial circle, and the outlook now is
that they will not only succeed in erect
Ing a monument but will also make the
Sunshine society better known than ever
before
Memorial circle.
At the meeting of the state board of
California petition was adopted asking
the Endorsement of the Sunshine society
for the preservation of the big trees. 1t
Is earnestly hoped that the Sunshine clubs
throughout the country, particularly in
California, will use every influence to
save our beautiful trees.-Club Life.

Grin and Bear 1t.

In my girlhood an aged minister lived
just across the street from my fathers
house.
He had learned an exquisite sympathy
for the world during fifty years of pastoral
work, and he dearly loved good joke. :
Already heavy burden of pain had
helped me to bear it. We were great
chums.
One cold winter pain came to him and
it was my turn to act as comforter For
weeks l made him a call, and every morn

Those around his bed looked at each
other questioningly. A twinkle came into
the failing eyes; slowly and with great
pain he told us how once. upon a time
there was an old woman who had a great
deal of trouble. She told her minister

Women's Clubs and Mems.

A club to a woman is not in the least
what 1t Is to a man. To begin with, for
a man to belong to some of the best
known ones gives him a certain amount
of social prestige; but who ever heard of
woman who was considered "all right"
because she was member of one of the
numerous institutions in ''Petticoat Lane,

apparently for excitement. either intellec-

And the sad and lone;
How much joy and comfort

If you scatter sunshine,
Everywhere You go.

Little kindly deeds;
Oh, what care and sorrow,
You may help remove.

Sympathy and love.
When the days are gloomy,
Sing some happy song,
Meet the worlds repining
With a courage strong;
Go with faith undaunted,

Scatter smiles and sunshine
Ger its toll and strife.

always losing fight. Throughout his
long life he saw the current OF Euro

as surrender never entered his head,
His will directs his executors to use the
