The question whether rain is caused

The question whether rain is caused
by the conclusion which occurs in q
battle is again under discussion. The
only answer based on facts which can
be given is that sometimes it is and
sometimes 1t is not, the phenomenon
depending on the condition of the at
mosphere when the battle is raging.
The atmosphere is sometimes in q
condition when a very slight thing will
cause a precipitation, while at others
the condition is such that the most
tremendous efforts fail to get a re-
spoons from the clouds. The present
war nv furnish some data.

The Little Things of Life.

Oh does it sometimes seem, my dear. as tho
1T didn't pay
To do the little things that come with each sue
cessive day
The -trifing things. so small and dull-oh, does
it seem to you
That life holds grander duties you long 80 much
to do?
It's prosy work to sweep and dust and set the
house Alright,
To trim the lamps and render them all shining,
clean and bright.
It's dull to rock the baby when other duties
watt
To patch and mend the little clothes and make
the tangles straight.
Oh, it's the little things of life that make us
what are;
The happy housewife the whom little
troubles mar;
1t is the little things we do that make US sweet
That strew our path with thistles or with many
flower.
Oh, let us just resolve, my dear. to do them
anyway
The petty, trifng duties that come to us each
So let US gladly do them. nor think them done
in vain.
And in our lives their melody will make a sweet
refrain.

Sunshine Work,

The recording angel doubtless has full
account of the good work done by suns
shine workers and Sunshine societies, but
We are quite sure that no earthly record
of that work is complete
Many a deserving man or woman, many
children-the most pathetic object in the
world is needy child-are aided every
day and in the most considerate ways
by these Sunshine workers. 49, Pc
Every day cannot be thanksgiving
day; some days in life are dark and
dreary and those cheerful, sympathetic.
helpful Sunshiners are every day helping
somebody to feel thankful for the exist
ence of kind hearts and generous, sym
pathetic impulses.
No one can be happy without friend,
and no one can know what friends he
has until he is unhappy. The Sun
sinners come in the hour of need and
their coming is a helpful blessing always.
Friendship, true friendship, can only
be found to bloom in the soil of a noble
and self-sacrifcing heart; there it has
a perennial summer, never ending sea-
son of felicity and joy to it's happy pos
SCISSOR, casting a thousand rays of love
and hope and peace to all around.
The big-hearted and noble-hearted wo-
men who are doing this Sunshine work
in New Haven and in many parts of the
country are truly laying up treasures in
heaven;" but, better still, they are CIV
ing that kind of help which is so often
most needed here on earth.
This subject of friendship is a big one
and the Sunshiners are doing much tc
exemplify it.
What a blessing it is to have a friend
to whom one can speak fearlessly upon
any subject; with whom ones deepest
thoughts come simply and safely.
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible COM
fort of feeling safe with person-hav-
ing neither to weigh the thoughts mol
measure the words; but pouring them al
right out, just as they are, chaff ant
grain together, certain that faithful
hand will take and sift them; keeI
what is worth keeping, and them. with
the, breath of kindness, blow the res
away.
The Sunshiners make no parade O
charity. Their effort is to help thos,
who need helping at the time and in thu
way which will be most helpful. . The.
work not for glory, but for good; the!
bring sunshine into places where there i
sorrow, hope into the hearts that are de
spondent. They help to smooth the rougl
pathway OF experience and they fill tn
very atmosphere with the incense O
kind-hearted humanity. : - -.
The Sunshine spirit is the most helpful
and uplifting spirit that exists in tn
hearts of the people today.
All honor to the Sunshiners and thei
noble work.

And the cherry blooms burst with snow.
And down underneath is the loyeliest nook
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for Hone and one for Faith,
And one is for Love, you know.
And God put in another for Luck:
If you search you will find where they grow.
But you must have hope and you must have

You must love and be strong; and so
If you work. If you wait you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
