ALEXANDER SMITH,

a Scotch poet who died at a very early age, said very appropriately: "To

bring the best human qualities to anything like perfection, to fill them

with the sweet juices of courtesy and charity, prosperity, or, at all

events, a moderate amount of it, is required--just as sunshine is needed

for the ripening of peaches and strawberries." Now how are you to catch

this marvelous sunshine of prosperity? Simply, do not shut it out. Your

comrade has had the moral ague. He fears that, if the sun shine on him,

it will bring a return of his fever. When the sun shines on you, do not

miss a ray. It makes you grow.
