Mr. Copp's Address.

Mr. Copp then made an address before
presenting the charter, which all had
signed. He said the object of the asso-
citation was to bring more sunshine into
the world and that this could be done
by doing little things in the way o.
kindness and help to others. We must
always have a cheerful mind in doing
these little things and SuSlshiners must
have sunshiny thoughts. So they would
be happier and the people happier. Then
The effect would be that they would
think the SIM was shining even If il was
really storming and raining everywhere.
So their lives and the lives of other peo-
pie would be happier and longer Their
motto should be good cheer at home. on
the street, everywhere.
MIR. Copp said the only dues the So
ciety had to pay were that each one
should do a kind act every week and
that. when called upon by the seere-
tary. the dues should be paid to the
society by each one telling what little
kindness he had done during the week.

It is not possible to find a fallen

other, yet society takes the man
