Mrs. Nj. A. Butts, of AnSOnia, state
recording secretary, made a cOmpre
lienSive statement of the condition of
the state order. There are now 102
branches. Three cities in the state
have headquarters Hartford. New
Haven and Derby. Derby also has a
district nurse association. There are
two circulating libraries in Putnam
and one in New Haven. Connecticut is
second i'm the number of bulletin sub
ScriberS, having over 800. Since its
organization four years ago Connecticut
has distributed 81, 2,4OS.77 in Sunshine
work. The state supports a room at
HillcreSt, known as Sunshine lodge, in
Livingston Manor, \. Y. At Bridgeport
the organization has a fresh air home.
The ten leading cities contributing last
year as follows: Hartford, $413.37;
Derby. 404.26: Middletown, $500. O4;
New Haven, $12O.45; WallingfOrd,
S119.35: Rockville. $1OS.21; Ansonia,
5000; Ridgefeld, $S2.22; Norwich,
SSH; New Britain, $47.11. Mrs. Rich
ard Mansfield recently held a bazar at
her home in New London, the proceeds
of which, $1,000. went to the Blind
Babies home at Brooklyn. This gen
erOus amount made Connecticut second
in rank for six years in Sunshine bene-
factions: S:-New Haven Leader.

entered the land of eternal Sunshine.
And to all such as have suffered this
loss we tender the hand of sympathy,
remembering that in this great society
no cloud can rest on one without over
shadOwing the whole. We pay our re
spects to the press. AS the Sunshine
society was originated in the office of
the New York Recorder, we are child
of the press, and no parent could be
more sOlicitOus of the welfare and fu-
ture advancement of their offspring.
Mrs Alden is the founder of this
great society and by her untiring zeal
has accomplished much for the good
of humanity. From a small beginning
has grown an organization that clasps
hands across the Sea-with its lunch
rooms, homes for the blind, the aged
and invalids, beds furnished in hospit-
ais, and scholarships given. Yet the
possibilities are increasing every day.
The influence that reaches out from
headquarters is being felt all over our
land.
For there is nothing so royal as
truth.
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-04-18

Each day is our day and the nearest
chance we have to start faithfully up
OH a new life, make new resolutions,
to be renewed tomorrow if we fail;
thus may we daily take our morning
pledge anew and go forth equipped
to meet the marching mOrrOws.''
"The Old Lady on Cape Cod who
had three pairs of spectacles, her fur
offs, her nigh-tOs and her mejums"
was prepared for all emergencies de
pending upon eyesight- and if we
would ever wear the white flower of
a blameless life," the inner sight, in
sight into all life's duties and life's
problems must be so assisted that we
may judge and perceive clearly from
every angle, that, ''the harvest of the
quiet eye" may be glorious one
worthy one high calling as members
of the human race; that, like AbhOu
Ben Adhem, our names may be writ
in letters of light as those who love
their fellOwmen and fitted to encOur-
age them as those can who are worthy
and whom the love of God has peculi-
arly blest.

Charities and the Commons.

The reports of the New York State
Probation Commission gives interest
ing notes, upon the Children's Court
in Brooklyn where study has been
given to this subject by the presiding
justice of the court" deep personal
interest in the individual cases coming
before him, "care undertaken to build
up probation system"
Judge Wilkins is strongly impressed
with the Importance of developing a
system of probation through co-ope-
ration with private societies."
In Buffalo ''The excellencies and
the deficiencies of volunteer work are
Illustrated, as also the tendency to use
the probation system, almost to the ex-
clusion of other methods"
''In Rochester there is a combination
of paid service provided by the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and volunteer service render
ed by the managers of the society,

Many notes are given as to the pros
and cons of the probation system in
charities and the commons March 18th,

The Worth of q Soul.

Has any one ever counted the worth
of a soul? One incident of these early
days may teach us the value our mis-
siOnaries put upon one heathen soul.
Among the Chinese girls whom the
lovely Mrs. Shuck gathered around
her, was one she named Jane. "Oh,"
she writes in an old letter, eff she
should be saved, it will be worth all
my toll and all my sacrifices. The
joy will far outweigh all the sorrow
it cost me to bid adieu to the land of
my nativity. l will feel more happi-
ness that to have gained the wealth
of worlds"
But she did not see the answer to
her prayers for Jane. Yet, her work
did follow her. One girl for whom she
prayed, as we have seen, was baptized
in America by her own father. What
of Jane? Three years after her teach
er's death, Mr. Pearcy wrote home
with joy, telling that Jane had become
a Christian. Thus again we see how
God answers prayer.

Connecticut Sunshine.

Possibly few people in our state
realize the part its Sunshine plays in
connection with other states.
All over the United States and even
beyond messages pass to and from
Florida. Many state presidents and
workers are interested and loving
friends very patient with our state
limitations and irregular methods; fully
appreciating the Sunshine spirit here
include many tokens, proclaim a help
full and life-giving power
That organization is well nigh i'm
possible, cannot perhaps be easily com
pretended. Under our conditions it
seems impossible to carry on Sunshine
in its larger forms requiring workers,
friends and settled committees.

players in Il row. leaving two outside.
These two are to represent the bird

of some bird; one will be a crow, one
n crane another canary. etc. One
bird dealer says to the other:

may recall, is one of our most appre-
ciative friends.
Clippings giving an account of Con-
necticut State day have recently been
received
The work accomplished during the
year, was immense including all forms
of philanthropy which in Connecticut
| as i'll many other states Sunshine
methods lead. Details would be super
fiuOuS. Mrs. Andrews address will
convey still further to us the glorious
| spirit of Sunshine, its original inten-
ton, which beyond all expectations
has grown from Mrs. Aldens initiative
| act into a worldwide power.
Now that this spirit is fairly abroad
in our sunny state, may we not hope
it will crystalize into golden deeds and
helpful cooperation in isolated spots
practically, where, our experience
teaches, it is so welcome, so purifying
and so much needed.
| Mrs. Andrews spoke as follows:
1t is Il great pleasure to greet so
many gathered here for one common
purpOSe-"S There is no
word that brings into being more
| pleasant memories. After days of
shadow and nights of darkness, how
welcome the sunshine which diSpels

Just in comparison to the earth with

without sunshine.
In the far land shall disappear
| The shadows which we follow here,
| The mists wreathed of our atmOS-
| phere.'
Yes. we want the shadows to disap-
pear before our sunset. For this rea-
son we are banded together to bring
sunshine into the greatest number of
lives possible.
With 10000 people working each
day. how large a pyramid will soon be
builded though formed by kind acts

cheer" and an interest in the work
which never wanes at home or abroad
We cannot place too much stress upon
the value of sunny calls. Though
