THE SUNNY SIDE.
To avoid hfe's troubles as We walk
That lie in the path narrow or wide.
As We pass on We must never halk
But always lock on tho sunny side.
We will reap frSn the seed we SOW
And look on tls grain with pride.
As we put Il away for another day
If always look on the sunny side.
When we SOW the seeds q sunshine
The unpleasant moments swiftly glide.
For happiness win our hearts entWine
II we always look on the sunny side.
II We SOW the seeds ol gloom and whine
We viii rap s0rrow as regular as tide,
Ard be unhappy in this world 50 fine,
While others look on the sunny side
II the way Is long and the sorrow deep
And our task IS hard and We feel tired
We will not feel tired or want 10 weep
II we only look On the sunny side.
What's tho use q sorrOw ard strife
When We can safely roam far and vide
Always through the spring time Of lie
II we only look On the sunny side.
Keep your eye on the silver lining
Scatter the darkness from your SIDE
Put on a smile and cease replning
And You'll be on the sunny side
Your smiles viii be brighter and sweetor
The lining viii Danish darkness far and vide.
All your life viii he far brighter and ncatcr
For you VIII be looking on ne sunny side

Hyattsylle, Ma
The person who makes II his or her
aim 20 be cheerful and optimistic. not
only concerning the big things OF life.
but in regard 10 the daily trivial disap-
pointments and discouragements, is not
only Frightening and enlarging his own
life. but can be and Is a wonderful in
centive toward cheerfulness 10 his as
sociates. Is IL not a great help. yes, and
even a reproach 70 our sometimes COM
planning selves, to see a person who we
know to have trials and troubles, always
bright and cheerful, ever though his
heart be heavy with burdens that we
can only conjecture? Sorrow is only
passing; happiness is our right; so let US
cultivate the sight to see tho sun forever
coming through the swiftly passing
clouds
