k days, but that is no valid reason whylife should be shaded. Open the shutters and let in the light. A sunny disposition irradiates almost any experience, eventhat of sickness, sorrow, pain, or death. Get out of the fogs, friend, the fogs of doubt and despair.Step into the sunlight of confidence and hope. Keep up a cheery spirit. Forget the meaning of fretfulness,panic, and pessimism. This is a pretty good world to live in; some of its featuresare bad, but it is glorious to live just to make them better. Try the sunny side of life. Forsake the gloom of habitualshadow. Let the midday sun gain a chance to warm your heartand clarify your brain. Aim to be a sunbeam yourself. Perhaps some one is ex-pecting this of you. Seek access to clouded lives and brightenthem up. Be a Lucy Larcom and say: If I were a sunbeam, I know where Fd go;Into lowliest hovels, Dark with want and woe;Till sad hearts looked upward, I would shine and shine;Then they d think of heaven,Their sweet home and mine. 166

SUNSHINE Happy Inspirations SUNSHINE IN PRACTICE Forever the sun is pouring his gold On a hundred worlds that beg and borrow; His warmth he squanders on summits cold,His wealth on homes of want and sorrow: To withhold his largess of precious light Is to bury himself in eternal night:To give is to live. Nothing expands and warms the heart like giving. Nothingfreezes it into churlishness like habitual withholding. Correct giving ennobles, develops, and gives power of ascent.Those who give only a trifle, as compared with ability, become atrifle. Giving causes the face to shine and the character to glow.It makes the giver feel that he is living the right sort of life. From the countenance of the giver the solar light flashes,reflecting a quickened inner consciousness. Just try the matter sometime; yea, try it often. Place afew pennies, nickels, or dimes in the wind-chilled hands of thatfaithful little newsboy, and feel your own soul made warm byhis Thank you! If one boy doesnt show gratit
