A New Sunshine Cottage.

For two seasons the Sunshine society
has been carrying on its outing work at
Lindstrom, where it has had the use,
rent free, of two cottages belonging to
Mrs. Charles Jewett of st. Louis. Mrs.
Jewett recently received an offer to sell
the cottages and Sunshine was COM
pelled to find something else if the good
work was to continue. The members
of the advisory board held meeting
last week and scattered the gloom from
the Sunshine officers who were feeling
very blue over the outlook.
It was decided to rent cottage at
Forest Lake, and generous-spirited
man offered to pay the rent of $65 for
the season.
If the location proves all that is
hoped Sunshine society will endeavor to
buy this cottage and another one, with
two big lots, 375 feet in depth. The
two cottages have been offered for
$4,000 and the owner will give 5000 to-
wards the purchase price, leaving but
$500 for the society to pay.
The cottage that the society will have
next summer has six rooms, including {
large living room, dining room anS
kitchen below. and three large sleeping
rooms above, large enough to hold foul
beds and two cots.
There is wide porch extending
around three sides of the cottage
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-02-04

which is completely screened in. The
back porch overlooking the lake will
be used as a diningroom. The re-
mainder of the porch will hold six ham,
mocks comfortably and this part will be
furnished for a summer living room,
leaving most of the cottage for sleeping
rooms. If necessary two large tents
will be secured for the children. There
is, fine beach extending far into the
lake and bath house. The grounds
are thickly wooded and the surrou'Td-
ings are altogether charming.
Last year Sunshine gave 115 women
and children a week each at the cot
tages, free Of all expense. The North
ern Pacific railroad generously fur
nished all the transportation and it is
difficult to say which gave these tired
ones the most pleasure, the week in the
country or the delightful railroad trip
which was rare treat for all of them.
The society will profit by all it's expert
ence of last two seasons and hopes to
make this summers work even more
successful and retain if possible the
honor fresh air banner awarded Min
nesota last year by president general
in New York.

what Have We Done Today7

We shall do so much in the years to come
But what have we done today?
We shall give our gold in princely sum,
But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
We shall plant hope In the place of fear
We shall speak the words Of love and cheer,
But what did we speak today?
We shall be SO kind In the after-a-while
But what have we been today?
We shall bring to each lonely life smile
But what have we brought today?
We shall give to truth grander birth,
And to steadfast faith deeper worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls Of earth;
But whom have we fed today?
We shall reap such joys in the by and by,
But what have we sown today?
We shall build us mansions in the sky,
But what have we built today?
IT'S sweet in idle dreams to bask,
But here and now do we our task?
Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask:
''What have we done today?''

the, most active branches recorded. The
Halifax Herald branch raised $4,000
one winter for the relief OF widows ana
orphans. In England there are circles
in London where Mrs. John. Milholand
has been leader. The London motto or
daily creed reads as follows:
To encourage cheerfulness individually and col
lectively; to scatter the sunshine of love- to do
something each day to tighten some ones bur-
den; to do kindly deeds; to say kind things: to
be cheerful and look for the good things in life;
to incite one another to, the performance of
kind and helpful deeds, and thus to bring the
sunshine Of happiness into as many hearts and
homes as possible.
1t will be interesting to many to
know that Colon, South America, since
the beginning Of the society, has beer
active in Sunshine work, with Mrs
Suzanne Wardlaw as organizer.
There are active branches also il
Cuba, the Philippines, New Zealand
Mexico, Japan, France, Ireland, Swift
zerland, Africa, Hawaii and Sweden.
We are especially proud of the co
operation Of the Children's Hour Sun

From Annie Kendrick.

So many Minnesota Sunshiners have
become interested in Annie Kendrick,
the Virginia girl, who had never had
a birthday present in her seventeen
years until some Minneapolis Sunshiners
remembered her, that they will enjoy
the following letter received by one
who remembered her Christmas. She
writes:

me great pleasure in trying to reply

Sunshine has had request for cloth

the oldest II years and the youngest
Gut 3 months old.
Sunshine's closet is rather empty
since Christmas and there is not the
proper clothing on hand to help this
mother. Will not some generous ones
send children's clothing or something
the mother could make over for her lit
tie flock? ....
The mother is anxious to keep the
children in school and Sunday school
and would be glad Of any help. The
father has not been we'll this winter
and his small income will barely pay
rent and living expenses. Please make
the children happy by sending to head
quarters something for them or notify
the society and the clothing will be sent
