Geniality may be seen,
In acts. the looks, and deeds;
We need It In Hfs's chequered scenes,
Il helps in times Of need
Sympathetic cheerfulness comes
From optimistic hearts;
II scatters sunshine where'er We roam,
Genial is the art.
To be cheerful then. toward another,
Comes surely from within;
A welcome from you 20 your brother,
Without il is a sin.
Let's cultivate the spirit, then,
OF cheerfulness so true;
Avoid the giving of pain.
Your path viii then be new.

Beautiful eyes are those that see
Only the best In you and me.
To ripest age such eyes have past
Their brightest glow has been the last.
Beautiful faces are those that smile
In cloud and sunshine all the while.
Such faces warm a winters day
And make the very gloom seem gay.
Beautiful hands are those that lend
Ever best efforts 10 c friend,
And IN helping stronger grow,
And IN lending gladness know.
Beautiful feet are those that so
On sanity missions 20 and fro,
Never stopping 20 take rest
TIL they have done their very best.
Beautiful lives are those that share
Always in a brothers care.
Striving ever 10 be true.
Doing what IS best TO do.

" Twas only a kiss and a bunch OF
flowers,
But they came IN a sunny way,
Like balm 20 the wound In a homesick
heart
At the close OF a weary day.
Twas only the clasp OF friendly
hand.
And the glance OF a kindly light;
They banlshed the thought of a sorrowfu
day.
And they frightened a pain-spent night
There's never the clasp Of a friendly
hand.
Not a smile nor a wordvof cheer;
Not kiss nor a flow'r in His dear nam,
