The Little "Sunshiners."

The Little "SuHShinerS."
Mrs. w. p. Reid requests us to state
that all who feel an interest in the "Sun-
shine" work can materially assist the
little workers of that society by saving all
religious papers and periodicals they get
and turning them over to her or any
member of the society. This literature
is distributed 80 as to be Of great service
to those whose circumstances do not
permit them to secure it for themselves
The county Jail is supplied by the 'Sun-
sinners" every once in q while with lit
erature and 1t is appreciated by the
prisoners.
Few realize the work that Is being done
by the little ones in the way of distrib-
uting rays of sunshine across the paths
of those who from necessity are walking
in the shades of adversity. There is q
widow living not far from here whose
house has become 30 badly in need of re-
pair as to be almost untenantable, but
the owner Is not able to secure the re-
pairs necessary for the merest comfort.
Recently these little folks have inter
ested themselves, the neighbors of tho
widow will furnish the lumber and the
work free and q new house will be built
for this widow. The children of the
society will furnish the nails and shin
giles "In His Name"
Another instance Of thoughtfulness on
the part of six of the "Sunshiners' was
the purchase of bed for one of the
charity hospitals of New York. They
paid for this bed with their own money,
having earned it themselves and put it
aside, little by little, until there was a
sum sufficient for the purpose. The
names of these six sunbeam scatterers
will be engraved upon the bed.
There are many little ways in which
this work may be helped along. Let us
all think of Our less fortunate neiphhor
occasionally and help, these little fellows
who are contributing their mites to the
end that they may "Let little sunshine
in."
