SUNSHINE AND CHEEREuLNEss.

Keep your face toward the Sunshine,
then Shadows fall behind. Cheerful
ness pays. 1t is the most valuable bust
ness asset you have. Few of US are
born with cheerful disposition. Most
of US either have to- cultivate the habit
or else go through life handicapped.
Therefore if YOU are not one of the
lucky few. by all means cultivate the
habit Learn to look on the bright side
of life. Keep the sunny side of your
nature toward others. Make cheerful
ness your daily companion. Be an OPP
timist-have cheerful, smiling face
all the time. Songs you sing, Smiles
you wear, make Sunshine everywhere.
Sing a song of cheerfulness to brighten
up in every way. Sing a song of happy
cheerfulness every blessed day. Sing a
song of cheerfulness against all badness
you meet. Those who bring sunshine
to other lives will happy be. Blessed
are Happiness max rs who give glad
ness to all. Even in ordinary life un-
selfish people are the happlest. as they
forget themselves while working to
make others happy, The dissatisfied
people are those who are seeking hap
piness for themselves regardless of
their neighbor. Do all the good you
can. BY all the means you can, IN all
the ways you can, at all the times you
can, to all the people you can as long
as ever you can. -Sykesville Herald.

The Lords Supper will be celebrated
in our church on Sunday, January tenth.
Christ says, This do IN remembrance
of me" On this day so full of His
gracious love and forgiveness, let US
come to the table He has prepared and
partake of the riches of His grace. We
are either for Christ or we are against
Him. We dare not profess devotion
with our lips and proclaim Indifference
by our lives. How blessed it is to see
those who, refusing longer to drift with

sire to join US in the life of Christian

THE CENTENARIES OF 1915.

One centenary of great man will be
appropriately celebrated" in 1915.
That great man was Otto Won Bis
marck, born April l, 1915. The roar
of guns, the welter of blood, the crash
of cities, will be fitting observance of
the hundredth anniversary of the birth
of the imam of blood and IRON"
Bismarck, as we know now, desired
the war between Prussia (aided by all
Germany and France. in 1870. 1t is
known that he kept to himself the
knowledge of acts and words which
would have tended to prevent that war,
and so twisted the words of the
maladroit French ambassador Benedict
as to precipitate the conflict. Even
Bismarck's master, King William of
Prussia, whom unquestionably he loved
and reverenced. he deceived to that
end-which was the:end of the unitica
ton of Germany under the aegis of
Prussia.
Bismarck, standing before the bar of
history was great man, personally
possessed of admirable qualities. His
clear-seeing eyes, his searching thought,
his words of directness and power, and
a certain vast geniality, made him the
most commanding fgure:of his time.
Americas two great men of 1915
were both soldiers-George Gordon
Meade. born on the very last day of
that year lin Spain, but of American
parents), and Philip ::Kearney, born on
June 2. Meade, soldier of unassertive
character and quiet mien. came to the
command of the Army of the Potomac
suddenly, and to his own establishment,
almost on the day before the fight at
Gettysburg. He proved himself worthy
of the awful responsibility, and struck
the blow which saved the Union. Of
Phil KearneY this was said by Gen.
Winfield Scott: "He was the bravest
man | ever knew, and the most perfect
soldier" Need more be said of him?
In France a famous artist, not a
really great artist, was born on Febru-
airy q, 1815-Meissonier, the painter of
minutiae. His was an art which is now
properly abandoned to photography.
Another century will see him quite for
gotten. Besides Bismarck, Germany
produced i'll 1915 two men worthy to be
remembered-Robe Franz, the COM
poser of unforgettable songs of the
heart, whose centenary is June %, and
Johann Gottfried. Kinkel, the poet of
freedom and democracy. who was born
August II. What a contrast to the
career of Bismarck was that of the
gentle refugee of the cause of liberty,
the inspired singer of the rights of men,
Gottfried Kinkell
Not long list of great men. We
shall not be kept busy with celebrating
their centenaries. For that matter. the
thought of the world, in this year 1915,
must rather be with those who die from
day to day, than with those who were
born long ago.
