One Of the many essential things
That make our lives worth while;
CThO' II cost the least Of alb
Is a sweet and pleasant smile.
A smile thus bubbllng from the heart
OF our friends or fellowmen.
VIII drive the clouds OF gloom away
And bring the sunshine again.
It's magic power, how great and good:
Like an arrow to the heart tbs sent;
It's more valuable than silver OF gold,
Yet II doesn't cost cent.
The cup OF love we so greatly admire,
And OF which we so highly prize.
Would he. no doubt. In less demand
II It wasn't for constant smiles.
We give aid TO the sick. aged. and poor.
And their burdens we help sustain
With wistful looks and gentle smiles.
And yet suffers the slightest pain.
When our smiles shall have all been spent
Let us hope that our reward shall be
Among the saints where the Saviour
reigns.
He who sdlrd the waves Of Galilee.

When Life has a notion OF treating US
wrong,
Or we fancy, at least. this Is so;
When we notice the discord that sounds
In its song.
And hear IL wherever we so;
Why. then. there's a maxim that we may
apply.
And by II our troubles may drown:
It's as easy to laugh as to weep or 20 sigh
And as easy TO smile as TO frown.
II the day has way OF weeping a bit,
What matter. what matter 90 you?
Tomorrow the speCter or tempest viii fit
The skies Will be CHEEKY and blue;
So, though the world move In a devious
way.
Look upward and onward. not down:
For care writes his record In wrinkles and
It's as easy 20 smile as 20 frown.

The value OF smile is aptly portrayed
in the words, Laugh. and the world
| laughs with you The weary hus-
band gains new vitality: his careworn
| expression assumes cheerfulness when he
sees his wifes smiling face: the lover
depicts his future IN his sweetheart
smile; the invalid Is strengthened: ne re-
gains hope and courage when he gazes
into friends smiling countenance; the
recreant child quickly responds 10 its
parents smile; the parent Is easily IN
duced 10 grant all requests by the con
hdIng smile Of a son or daughter; even
the infant reflects IN its face its mothers
smile as she presses II 20 her breast.
History furnishes concrete examples
where the courses OF such nations as
| Egypt. France, and England were varied:
where the lives OF kings and mobiles
were nodded by that all-powerful, indie
structible agent-''a smile"
SO, tellOw-students, let us have a smile
| for every occasion, and take the advice
| found in the following lines, happy in the
satisfaction that our cheerfulness finds
ready response In the lives Of our associ-
ates:
| Keep on the sunny side,
And let dull care pass you by;
Just figure out you're a long time dead;
Don't stop 70 worry or sigh:
Weep. and you weep alone,
Don't give UP hope till you die.
/ Don't Join the crowd that walk under
dark clouds,
! But keep on the sunny side.

I It VIII bring such ray Of sunshine
Along LIES dreary road.
! Where we often meet the cherries,
When 4 smile viii help their load.
| Sad and unloved they wander,
! Mistakes have caused them 70 swerve.
Helps them with loving kindness
! To smile and be ready to serve.
! Give on your way a pleasant smile,

| It will cheer some life from all despaIr
That might have been wrecked without It.

| Who can tell the value OF a bright and
sunny smile?
A smile of cheerful fellowship, without
deceit or guile;
A smile Of kindly welcome or pure IN
trammeled love
/ Lifts hearts that are bowed in sorrow 10
sublime heights above.
Who can tell the value Of a real. sweet,
| friendly smile7
