bow over the storm, makes the dullest
object brilliant. The best crops grow on
the southern slope, and don't forget, the
silver lining is always on the sunny side.

And so 1 turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out

There's a dark and a troubled side Of life;
There's a bright and a sunny side, too,
Though We meet with the darkness and
strife,
The sunny side we also may view.
Though the storm in its fury break to-

Though the moments be cloudy or fair;
Let us trust in the Saviour Away.
Who keepeth every one In His care.

This Is q beautiful world OF ours!
Its frescoed skies, it's meadows and flow
ers,
It's forests OF fragrant pine and palm.
It's lakes and rivers that seek the sea.
It's pillows that beat like hearts set free,
Its mountains that rise In majesty.
It's valleys that rest in peaceful calm.
This Is a beautiful world Of ours.
Yes. this IS a jolly old world Of ours.
And mirth gives wings 10 It's flying hours,
While farce laughs aloud in its glee.

Pleasure pursues the eludlng cheat.
A phantom ethereal frail. and feet
How can we solve the mystery
OF life IN this jolly old world OF ours2
This is fine old world OF ours:
Its church bells ring in ten thousand tow
ers,
It's blessings are like the oceans flow.
Charity stands at the Christians door
With a cup and a crust 20 aid the poor.
Learning delights TO impart its lore,
And love would make ii a heaven below,
This brave and dear old world Of ours.

my heart
In all the gladness round me had no
share
I was oppressed; thought Of all tho

And grief that in my life must have a

And though the sun was shining. /

No Joy in living-all was dark for me-
Sufficient for the day" these words 1
heard
A stranger say while passing down the
street;
Never borrow trouble" The message
sweet
! felt was meant for me; my heart was
stirred
With a new impulse and a strength
divine,
I saw earth's beauty and the glad sun
shine.
Re cheerful and never mind tomorrow:
Pursue the even tenor of your way
Through well or I'll; be happy when you
may.
Think not Of the trouble and the sorrow
The future has in store, but Just be
glad:
Enjoy to-day-to-morrow may be sadl
