Be Sunny
Almost everybody will admit that a
sense of humor and a love of fun tide
their possessors over some very real
sorrows. Austerity has no particular
claim to be considered saintly, and fo -ly
with its cap and bells once in a while
does angelic work. Blessing3 on the
children with their merry laught:r.
Blessings on the old people who have
not forgotten how to be sunny. Take
it all in all, this world of ours is not so
bad a place. Every season brined its
gifts of love from heaven, the skies are
oftener blue than gray, the birds n'ng
in the branches, fathers and mother?

three story pressed brick for recitation
purposes. The building to follow is a
splendid Boy's Home for about 100 boys.
The whole scheme embraces six rcng
nificent up-to-date structures. The
whoie scheme has been most carefully
studied, and nothing which comfort,
sanitation, convenience, or landscape
bt auty could suggest has been omitted.
