NEWS LETTER Stirring Poem and An Article On Making Sunshine Have Lessons For Us All. Let ma live , Oh Mighty Master, Such a life as man should know, Tasting triumph and disaster, Joy and not too much of woe; Let me run the gamut over, Let me Fight and Love and Laugh, And when I'm beneath the clover Let this be my epitaph: Here lias one who took his chances In the busy world of men, Battled Luck and Circumstances, Fought and fell, and fought again, Wen sometimes, but did no crowing, Lest sometimes, but didn't wail, Took his beating, but kept going, Never let his courage fail. 'lie was fallible and human, Therefore loved and understood Beth his Peiiowmen and Women, Whether good or not so good; Kept his Spirit undimished, Never lay down on a Friend, Played the Game till it was finished, Lived a Sportsman to the end." Lin Known. Make Sunshine They that bring sunshine into the livs:-cf others, shall live in the sun shine themselves; therefore, resolve, each day I will do at least one kind (;eec . Thev who think of making sunshine for themselves, and are not carefnl to make sunshine for others will have but little sunshine in this life. Selfishness is the sure way to un- happiness. Many are unconsciously selfish; is is therefore important that ca n one should carefully examin i himiL'lf with references to this matters and put out of his life every selfish thourht. motive, word, and deed. The best way to accomplish this is by uf ir.g at least one kind, unselfish deed every day. In this way the unselfish habit will be formed, you will make sunshine for others, and live every day in the sunshine yourself The following clipped from "Youth's Kind Words" illustrates the fact that it is not only important to make sun shine for human beings; but for the lower animals are also dependent on us for their sunshine, asd, if we make it for them, we will also get the bene It of it.

Terrell) Shadows fast are falling, Darkness covers all; Our loved ones gather 'round us In sitting room and hall. We talk of war and Kaiser, of President and peace And of our boys far, far from home, Wishing for their quick release. We discuss high cost of living, The pangs it brings to the poor; Each one reasons and wonders, Why trouble comes to his door. Our Lord has a hand in the battle, He'll win for the one in the right; He'll help our boys in the struggle, The future will be happy and bright. Then when our boys again are home, And each mother's heart is glad; We all should bow our heads in praise, And forget we ever were sad. CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEP HERD, RIDGEWAY, SUNDAY.
