Il North Carolina avenue.
It Is a historical fact that the destiny Of
nations has been turned for either good
or bad in the fraction Of a minute, that
the greatest crisis can be passed IN the
same length Of time. Then how much
more true must It be Of single individ-
ual when the destiny or crisis IS OF but
one and not OF millions And so as We so
through this life Of ours let Us smile.
Ever smiling let Us travel on our way-in
the hope that IL may reach some hun
gering soul in the moment Of need. that
il may reach the soldier and send him
on his way with hope; that II may reach
the sage and send him on his way more
wise; that il may reach the poor and
send them on their way a little more
happy-in fact. that II may reach man.
.
some poor soul for the better or strength
en- some fellow-mortal 70 meet the crisis
with a firm heart and his face toward

I think Robert Louis Stevenson must
have had the kind Of smiling coUntenance
that you advocate In mind when he wrote:
A happy man or woman IS a better
thing 20 find than q five-pOund note. He
or she IS q radiating focus Of good Will
and their entrance into a room is as
though another candle had been lighted.
We need not care whether they could
prove the fOrty-seventh proposition. They
do a better thing than that; they practi-
caIly demonstrate the great theorem Of
the livableness OF life
LAS though another candle had been
lighted" That expresses il fine, doesn't
it, Let's get the sour looks of our faces

Smile by day and smile by night.
Smile when wrong and smile when right
Smile in sunshine. smile in rain;
Smile in JOY and smile in pain.
Smile at trouble near OF far,
Smile Al every wound or scar

Smile above the foaming wine.
Smile abroad and smile at home.
Smile upon the land and foam
Smile when bright eyes meet your own
Smile with soul and tender tone.
Smile the hours and years away,
Smile unto your dying day,

There was once man who smiled
Because the day was bright,
Because he slept at night
Because God gave him sight
/ To gaze upon his child;
/ Because his little one
Could leap and laugh and run.
/ Because the distant sun
! Smiled on the earth. he smiled.

} Smile Contest which Is not original
with me. but which contains something
good Just the same.
Smile, und the world shmiles nit you;
Laugh. ind the world viii roar:
Howl. und the world viii leaf you.
Cndt nefer come back any more
/ For all of Us couldn't peen handsome.

But a shmile vas not extensive.
