What . Smile Did,

A young man, stranger and TAR
from home, found himself on the verge
of despair as he walked the streers OF
our city one Saturday night. He was
in search Of his first situation and had
lost his enthusiasm.
AS he watched busy people pushing
and jostling each other he sighed
There is no place or use for me- ne
thought. Nothing but Encouragement
and defeat"
With money gone and head throbbing
with exhaustion he was on the point OF
ending 1t all when he CHANGED to see
thru an office window a smile that IL
Illuminated the whole face. The young
man stopped and watched It,
A man with a face like that must
have heart he said to himself. Taking
courage he went in and told his story.
The mans face revealed his true char
acter.
Laying his hand on the lads shoulder
he said: 81 guess we can find place
for you; II We can't we will make one;
the world owes you a living"
1t was but smile and a kind word
which lifted this young man from the
depths of despair and sent him out into
the world joyous and hopeful.
This is a true story. There is powe.
in the pleasant smile, the kind word
and Hearty grasp Of the hand that few
of us realize and when they mean SO
much and cost so little why do we deal
them out SO sparingly. Let us remem-
Der:
That the world has weary hearts
6. That we can help and cheer.
And smile for, every day s,
Makes sunshine all the year. s.
