It's services are rendered to rich and poor alike and are inval- nable to both classes. 1t spends large sums of money but conducts no drives and asks for no public sub scriptions. It makes no collections and imposes upon its membership no dues. In fact the collecting of dues is forbidden by the constitution, yet tho organization is entirely self sup porting.
 Its members have no axe to grind and it's activities seldom are adver- tised, beyond the usual publication of routine reports. Headed by women Of acknowledged social leadership, the society shows as much concern over getting wheeled chair to the crippled son Of a widowed wash woman in the third floor rear of a cheap tenement as it does to sending q post card greeting to the wife of the wealthy manufactures, i'll in her home and surrounded by all the luxuries money can buy.
 Tho object of the Sunshine society is expressed as follows: "ro incite it's members to the performance Of kind and helpful deeds. and to thus bring the sunshine Of happiness into the greatest possible number of hearts and homes" The motto or creed Of the society is:
 Have you had kindness shown?
 Pass it on.
 Twas not given for you alone,
 rass lt on.
 Let it travel down the years,
 Let it wipe aBothcr's. tears,
 Till in Heaven the deed appears,
 Pass it on.''
