Smile Your Way Along

From the Universalst Leader.
 At the door of a hospital is the sign: T. you cant smile don't go in There are smiles and smiles, but of course this means the smile that stands for the best things in life, not the kind that irritates, but the kind which cheers and inspires and stimulates and nourshes. N hoover conceived of that sign was not far from being a good physician though he may have been serving as janitor better than medicine is the smile of frenusnip to those who are set apart by their in- firmlties. And the smile of cheer and hepfulness is not only the passport to the hospital, but to all the world, If we but knew it. Someone remarks: ''Wno is beyond the ministry of a kindly smile? It is a tonic to the discouraged. It helps the little child for whom the world holds so much that makes afraid and it's cheers the aged who find life unspeakably lone ly As King Arthur's court was built by music, so the happier life we all hunger for here upon earth is built in large part by the cheerful faces we see, as we bear the load appointed for us.'

Foes in the Household

From the Congregationalist.
 Ii might be well If Christians were to take to heart what the Rev. stephen 5. Wise said the other day to the members of the Free synagogue of New York, of which he is rabbi: "The dignity of Jew ish life is less marred by baseless attack from without than by ceaseless self con scous babble within. We are in no lit- tie danger today of paying more attention to what others are saying against us than to what we are doing for ourselves. The wrong done to us is usually curable and may be borne without permanent hurt to our souls. The only irreparahle wrong which can be done to Israel is done by Israel" That is as true of Christians as Of Jews. The church can never succeed while it thinks lightly of it's own mission in the world where its head has placed it..

The reading of the Valentines followed Next little Misses Antoinette and Evelyn Walk CT passed around heart shaped Valentines cut in half and tied with a red ribbon, to the young ladies and gentlemen respec- tivey. The matching of the hearts was the interesting manner in which the part ners were put together for the refresh- ments. The ribbons were tied together and the hearts given to the young ladies.
 Following the serving of refreshments the guests were given score cards to which tiny red pencils were attached. The cards were decorated with little red Cupids and bore these words, Progressive Pro- posing" done in red.
