PASS ALONG GOOD CHEER"
Catch and radiate the sunshine,
Pass along the word of cheer,
Give a tender smile or token
To the sad ones far and near.
Gather up each passing sunbeam
And reflect it far and wide,
Sending forth it's rays the brightest
Where the dark shadows hide.
To the weary, heavy laden,
Walking lonely down the road,
Lend hand to help them onward,
1t will lift heavy load
To the aged and the careworn,
Grown so weary of the way,
You can be a very sunbeam,
Bringing light and joy to-day
Not alone in crowded alleys
Do we find the sorest need
There is sorrow in the palace,
There are hearts that break and
bleed
Scatter sunshine, brother, sister,
Sympathize with smile or tear;
Make this whole wide world the
brighter
For your tender words of cheer.

A. gentleman named st. Paul who
lived and travelled widely, had a secret
ambition that slipped out in his writ

balmy hours to come.
