Have you had a kindness shown? 
Pass it on. 
Tvvas not griven for you alone— 
Pa.ss it on. 
TiCt it travel down the years, 
Pot it w’ipe another’s tears, 
Till in Heaven the deed appears, 
I’ass it on. 
President-General, iMrs. Cynthia West- 
over Aldeu. 
Headciuarters, No. OC Fifth Avenue, New 
York. 
Soeicty Motto—“Good Cheer.” 
Colors—Yellow and White. 
Flower—Coreopsis. 
Society Song—“Scatter Sunshine.” 
The folks that pine fer the brighter side 
Don't look w'here the daisies grow; 
They never sigh—like we folks sighed. 
When they’re chilled by the wintry snow. 
They know it’s jest what the Winter’ll 
bring. 
An’ they say: “We’ll blossom again, next 
Spring!” 
The folks that pine fer the brighter side 
Don’t ever stop to think 
'i’hat the rain that falls on the world so 
wide 
Gives the cattle drops to drink. 
Hut the cattle know—on the hill an’ plain. 
.•\n’ they’re might glad o’ the rain—the rain! 
—Atlanta Constitution. 
A friend in Massachusetts, Sergia 
Wienie, has this to say, after expressing 
her interest in Sunshine and its work; 
“I have very little time at my dis¬ 
posal, but 1 try each week to write to 
one or more invalids, descriptions of our 
home life and any little pleasures which 
our family may enjoy. Two years ago 
I was kept in bed with a broken limb 
for nine weeks, and on crutches for 
more than six months. It was a very 
stormy Winter, and our home is rather 
isolated, but the letters which friends 
from a distance wrote to me each week 
were a surprise and delight, and passed 
away many otherwise lonely hours, for 
my children were in school, and my 
husliand away from home for hours.” 
Some of our newer friends have again 
asked us the requirements for member¬ 
ship in the International Sunshine So¬ 
ciety. We repeat that there are no dues 
and no stringent rules; the initiation 
fee takes the form of some kindly deed. 
Here are the requirements, as given by 
a Philadelphia branch; • 
Always to look on the sunny side, and 
to make the best of life as it is, if not 
just as we would have it. 
To look for happiness rather than 
liorrow trouble. Mark Twqin says: 
“Cheer up! the worst is yet to come.” 
The natural inference is that he con¬ 
siders cheerfulness the best preparation 
for what is to follow. Our times are 
not in our own hands, and often the 
“worst” is the best, for us, in ways we 
know not. 
To do and say pleasant things even 
when spirit and inclination protest. 
To pass on smiles, kind words, bright 
thoughts, clever and sweet stories and 
even jests. They may awaken that 
“sense of humor” which is “a means of 
grace.” 
To note when reading, helpful, inspir¬ 
ing and entertaining suggestions and to 
circulate them. Newspaper clippings 
are invaluable as promoters of good 
cheer and interest in current events. A 
written word or two may indicate the 
sender and it gives pleasure to know 
whose the kind thought, but they will 
be enjoyed with or without the name. 
There is no question that one may ac¬ 
quire a fixed habit of cheerfulness, even 
where it is not a natui’al characteristic. 
Happy the woman who leaves, wherever 
she goes, a memory like that long-dead 
New England wife, whose tombstone 
bears the quaint, pathetic comment— 
“She was so pleasant!” 
MOTHERS.—Be sure to use “Mrs.Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syi’up” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
A Woman’s Won’t. 
“You know what Hattie Piae did. Her 
husband had promised her for 10 years 
that he would build her a Summer kit¬ 
chen to put her cook stove in so that 
her dining-room needn’t be so heated up 
by the stove. Well, he kept putting it 
off from year to year even after he had 
the material on the ground, and one day 
when Reuben was going to have half a 
dozen harvest hands Hattie got up from 
the breakfast table and told Rube that 
she was going over to her mother’s, and 
that she was going to stay there until 
he put up that Summer shed-kitchen. 
Rube plead and almost wept, but Hattie 
walked off, and when the harvest hands 
came Rube had them all whirl in and 
help him, and they had that shed up and 
the cook stove set up in it in time for 
Hattie to get dinner in it. It’s a good 
thing to let the men know once in a 
while just how dependent they are on 
us women.”—The Household. 
With the Procession. 
Do the work that’s nearest. 
Though it’s dull at whiles; 
Helping when you meet them. 
Lame dogs over stiles; 
See in every hedgerow 
Marks of angel’s feet. 
Epics in each pebble 
Underneath our feet. 
—Rev. Charles Kingsley. 
Tii.vt a thing can love and be loved 
. . . is just a’ ane to sayin’ ’at it’s im¬ 
mortal.—George Macdonald. 
Books are good enough things in their 
own way, but they are a mighty blood¬ 
less substitute for life.—R. L. Stevenson. 
It is the every days that count. They 
must be made to tell or the years have 
failed. To tell, for that thought and 
feeling must become action, and action 
habit, and habit turn to principles and 
character. And if for some of us and 
sometimes for ail of us action cannot 
mean doing, then remember that bear¬ 
ing too is action, often in its hardest 
part.—W. C. Gannett. 
iiiK earth waits for mighty statesmen 
who shall bind the jealous nations into 
a commonwealth of mankind. It longs 
for those who shall teach it the secret 
of happiness. It is growing tired of 
coarse, gross, selfish, partial, material 
forms of civilization; it waits for real 
and complete civilization; it waits for 
leaders who shall embody in art, in lit¬ 
erature, in institutions, in industry, in 
business, throughout all human society 
the beautiful and commanding law of 
love.—Charles F. Dole. 
HOW DO YOU DO.? 
When you find your.self say¬ 
ing: “jjretty well, thank you, 
but not very .strong;” you are 
likely to be, as you say, “pretty 
well;” but getting no good of 
)'our food. 
If you have money and lei¬ 
sure, take a vacation ; the doc¬ 
tor calls it “a change.” Which 
is good. 
Almost as oood is Scott’s 
O 
emulsion of cod-liver oil, in¬ 
stead of vacation. With it is 
better yet! the doctor is right. 
Wc’ll send you a little to try, if you like.
