Evening journal., 1907-10-23


regret after It Is over, but work now
and be surprised at our success after
ward. This can only be done by COM
bined effort. 1t needs the help OF every
member. and II is to be hoped that no
one win be so disloyal as to neglect
the opportunitl to help the only State
feature we have
Violet Ray Sunshine Branch.
At the regular monthly meeting Of
the Violet Rays. held October 5th, -four
new members were added to the list,
thus increasing our list to fourteen;
eleven active. and three honorary. No
stated meetings of the branch were
held during thes ummer. yet we did
not neglect TO scatter sunshine, as Cow
ers were sent to the sick and many
birthdays remembered by fancy boxes
Of fruit. The next meeting of the
branch win be held on Friday evening,
November 1. at the home of Miss
Mamie Sincock. 21O9 Washington
street. when plans suggested at our
last meeting will probably be carried
out.
We live in deeds. not years In
thoughts, not breaths.
In feelings, not in figures on a dial
We should count Vino by heart throbs
He most lives who thinks most, feels
the noblest. acts the best.

Persons soliciting subscriptions TO
the Sunshine Journal, a very worthy
little paper but devoted only to the
interests OF slum work among the chill
dren or Philadelphia. have been froin
door to door in Wilmington the past
few weeks. Many people have sub
,scribed for II confusing it with the
Sunshine Bulletin published in New
York. and devoted to the interests Of
the International Sunshine work. BE

month. win be held October 30 instead.

Sunshine Chat.
Members are asked to write to head
quarters and say whore they would
prefer the next annual to be-Dela-
ware. Connecticut or Houston. Texas.
These are the three places where the
general society has been invited. The
place must be decided upon at the next
regular meeting Of the executive
board
A fare one way plus two dollars has
been assured those who wish TO go il
they take the trip to Texas. 1t is hoped
that this inducement viii hold good,
and that there will not be new railroad
laws TO interfere. It's a long way to
Texas from New York. and we would
have to depend upon Western dele
gates wholly. unless there is some pro-
vision for reduced rates.
The above article appears I'm the
October issue Of the Sunshine Bulle-
tin.
Delaware wants the convention OF
1908. Let us exert every effort TO se-
cure it and having done so TO make it
a success. Think what an impetus
Sunshine in Delaware would receive
from such a gathering. and how much
II would mean for our cityl Let us
become interested in this movement
ourselves and interest the people of
Wilmington. The members have rea-
son TO believe that the press Of the
city. which heretofore has been will
ing to assist. will champion us in this
effort. II has been suggested that
each branch president forward TO
headquarters a petition signed by
every member of that branch to the
effect that Delaware wants the Inter-
national Sunshine Convention i'm 1908
