SO good TO see a beautiful smile,
Matters not whether on an adult or
child.
II cheers a sad heart for a long while;
Looks so good 20 see a pleasant smile,
Every smile God sees for many a mile.
Smile just once IN awhile.
/ Smile. it viii make your heart seem

/ Smile Just once IN awhile,
Smile. It will make your pathway
brighter.
Smile. a life's mirror II we smile.

The smile is good like the sunshine
That CUickens into life.
The droOpy branches OF the vine,
And drives away the strife.
I The cheerful, honest face OF smiles
Are welcome everywhere;
It's like the innocence OF a child
That looks always sincere.

Among the sons Of men;

The President smiles and sets the pace,
He's chief Of all our land;
/ Smiles often found upon his face,
He shakes a hearty hand.
Let all the world Of folks Just smile

To let the smiles come in

The value OF a smile is all the untold
wealth Of the universe. The millionaire
with his lockedup bonds and yellow
1 backs In his pockets. is not a cOmpan-
/ ion to himself, such as is the optimist
/ with his ever ready smile. He uses his
smile when any old thing gets wrong;
he smiles when cold feet are put in the
middle OF his back: he smiles when there
is no milk to put in his coffee at break
fast and he has 70 drink it black; he
smiles when he misses his car by a scant
fifty yards after a sprint Of 100 yards;
he smiles when the boss looks GROSSLY
at him as he comes in ten seconds late
/ in the morning; he smiles when he finds
that the eggs in his lunch are boiled hard
as q rock, and he smiles just the same
! when pay day comes around.
Smile just as you're about TO crOke
Smile and you will always be a big
smoke. Smile and be in the optimist
class
Smile and take things as they come, like
the coon who takes things easy and goes
( to Jail, and Just smiles when the judge
says, thirty days for yours"
! If there were more optmists. there
would not be so many clouds; and II
we were all optimists with our trademark
smile we would light up the universe.

Don't you think the word Smile"
rather difficult too define as to valuation
think the word is limitless. or rather
the effects are, am sure.
! I have taken each letter OF the word
Smile" and out OF each obtain a word
and with each word form a thought, as
I beg to express herewith:
sympathy.
! M-mercy.
I-intergity.
L-love.
/ E-enjoyment
II you have sympathy for your fellow
man. the beasts OF the field. the birds
and even the flowers, and go through life
showing mercy unto the least OF them.
/ leading a life of integrity the while,
/ love will come TO you and through you
VIII flow into the lives Of others, and the
result viii be a life Of enjoyment-be-
cause you smiled

AS we go forth daily into the world and
note the sad, care-worn faces, how their
| expressions change when we meet their
eyes with kindly smile! But when our
own hearts are burdened with anxieties
that Te scarcely dare acknowledge in our
