GATHER DAYLIGHT.
In this little dream and bable
Mortals call the life Of man.
Lose no time but quickly gather
All the daylight that you can
For amid the hours Of sunshine
There are rays that all must lose,
So before the Shadows lower,
Catch the nearest brilliant hues.
You will need them as you wakern
To the turmoil and tho strife.
You will need them at the closing
OF the alst long sleep of life.
When your eyelids grow too heavy
For the day beams TO up raise,
If you're garnered any brightness
From the light of vanished days.
It viii lead you through the shadows,
Each alone must surely tread,
It will tighten all your pathway

explained the doings of the Sunshine So
ciety and called their attention to the
wonderful sweetening effect of the sun
and to the utter impossibility of the ex-

where the sun has free access. She said
true sunshiners are always deslrous of
Frightening and sweetening the lives Of
others, it being their pleasure to chase
away the frowns and lines of care from
the faces of all with whom they com.
contact OF course in order to be aSle
TO do this It. is necessary that they keep
a sharp ool1out over self.

eager to get to work TO do something for
somebody. They gladly accepted the pres

Aged Women and to sing and give some
recitations for the amusement OF the in.
