THE CHEERFUL LIFE.
Ne Character la Complete Which Lacks

It takes a great deal of sunshine
to produce a peach or a per-
rose. The sunshine will do
what clouds cannot do. It is the
sunshine that gives the inimitable
tint pf beauty to fruit and
No character is complete which
lacks moral sunshine. Many a man
has failed because he was too

was too important and too short

the fact is. the cheerful life is the
healthy, productive life. Cheerful-
is a- necessary to man as sun-
shine is to l lie Bower. Nothing nor-
can be produced in darkness or
in the shade. Fun is just as
to the normal life as water is to
or as oil is to machinery.
Note it where we will, the smile-
less life which has no
brightness or sunshine, no humor or
morbid, sour,
It is the joyous life, the
cheerful, happy life that is helpful
and inspiring. This is the sort of
life the world wants. It has
many sour faces, too many vinegary
countenances, too many
too much pessimism. It wants more
sunshine, more optimism, more joy.
Is it not a pitiable thing to see
people going through life peddling
vinegar, radiating bitterness,
finding fault, seeing only the
ugly, ignoring beauty, nagging,
fretting and tearing down
Some people seem to have a genius
for seeing the crooked, the ugly, the
disagreeable. There are too many
vinegar peddlers. We need more
joy peddlers, more sunshine makers.
people who ignore the ugly, the bit-
the crooked, but who see the

I shall be forced to address the

come you to our hall and to our
anniversary, ask you to share
with us the pleasures of occasions
like this. And, therefore, on

to yon, ladies, and all the visitors
here tonight, a most hearty
come. We now throw wide open
to you the doors of our hearts as

couples which I see here I
want to suggest that we have an

which we can burn the lights low
