MAKE SOME ONE HAPPY.

The grand object OF every life
should be to make some one happy
AS disciples of Christ, each one OF
us should be a sunbeam, Frightening
the corner where we are. If each one
of us who profess the name of Jesus
would strive to initiate the examples
of his life there would not be sad
heart in the world. Much unhappi-
ness and misery is caused by unkind
and unthoughtful words far out-num-
Der the wounds caused upon the field
of battle by shot and shell. If we
would make others happy, we must
speak cheerful words, and lend a
helping hand. Great many people
reserve all of those pleasant
thoughts, and kind words about 9th
ers potted and sealed until the day
of their demise, and then they will |
come and break the bottle over their |
collins and battle their shrouds with
fragrance. Many a sad heart goes
through this life, dying for the want
of kind word, or an encouraging
deed. There are people in the walks
of life in the school room and pulpit
who are today laboring hard for the
uplift of others. Yet their lives are
saddened because they are misrepre-
scented, misunderstood and maltreat-
! ed.
| No one ever say good thing about
| them while they live. No one ever
stops to encourage them, but just as
soon as they are dead, they will stand
by their casket and speak into the
the ears that are closed to all Garth
y " the things that should have been
TO them while they lived
\ Friends, there has been enough
sunshine scattered around the collins
of those departed to have made them
J happy for fifty years. There have
been enough cheerful things said
around the grave to make this world
happy until the clarion notes OF Ga
briefs trumpet wake the sleeping
millions from their profound slum
, Der. The time to scatter sunshine
is in a persons life time when h
. can enjoy it's beauty; the time t.
9 give flowers is while we live, thei
+ fragrance cannot be inhaled when "
g are dead Let us not defer the goo
IL things we have to say about other
+ too late. Let us speak well of the liN
- ing. Let US shout our apprecjatio
for service rendered to our people b
those in public life. Let us not kic
the hand that is feeding us. If W
would make others happy, we mus
not become chronic complaint
r. That person who makes a specialt
Is of complaining is like a dark benign
% ed cloud darkening and wrapping
&C gloom the sphere of activity in whic
It. they move.
III Let us not be a cloud but let I
- make of our lives band of musi
,r sending out pleasure on every sid
III far and near, to all that can he;
ne the melody that comes from our hal
Ut of thousand strings.
w Let us not be like the vender
RI umbrellas who was met upon rail
ed day by a friend. The friend remar
ly ed to him, "a good day for your bu
IT, ness" but the umbrella vender I
. piled to him, " A good day for III
,r brellas but | haven't sold sing
be parasol." He would have the su
he shine to shine on one side of Il
ae street and it raining on the 9th
30 side, and since it was not, he was d
satisfied. He was a natural grul
ed bier. If things don't come our WI
p. let us not grumble; let us look upC
i'' the bright side for it will be wor
No. thousand pounds to cultivate Il
he habit of looking on the bright sid
lg Just laugh and grow fat, for
IL will be worth your while just TO ca
little smile. So just live to NAL
&c. happy by smiling as you go.
