Tho Sunny Side Of Life.
When to he disappointed
You in any way feel inclined,
Remember there are others
Who are in that state of mind..
When you are short of money
And bills aro coming due,
Remember there are others
That are in that boat with you.
And should you go acourtlng
And your best girl turns you down,
Just tell her thero are -others
And don't begin to frown.
Look always on the sunny side
Whichever way you go,
For down the stream your boat will
glide
And up you'll have to row.
Adapt youhself to circumstance
And you will reach the shore
When on the train apply the brake
When in the boat the oar.
Always keep your courage up
And never let It fail.
Then you will reach the mountain
top
Now join me In the chorus sweet.
We'll sing It loud and long,
The darkest hour we'll have to meet
Is just before the dawn.

TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY.
April UO Appointed For Sermons Oa
Tho Subject.
April 30 has been set aside thla
year as "Tuberculosis Day," and will
be observed In 200,000 churches In
the country In a manner similar to
that of "Tuberculosis Sunday" In
1910, when over 40,000 sermons
were preached on the prevention of
consumption. In this first official
announcement of the occasion made
by the National Association for tho
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo
sis, the leaders of tho movement
state that they hope to enlist all of
the 33,000,000 church members In
Jry.Jn one respect Tuber-
culosis Day will differ from Tuber
culosis Sunday of 1910. Instead of
requesting the churches to give to
the tuberculosis cause a special Sun
day service, tho national association
is going to ask this year that meet
ings, at which the subject of tuber
culosis and its prevention can be dis
cussed, be held on Sunday, April 30,
or on any other day near that date,
either in the week proceeding or tho
week following. "What wo want,"
says Dr. Livingston Farrand, execu
tive secretary of the National Asso
ciation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis, in a report on this
movement, "Is to have this wholo
subject of tuberculosis discussed in
all of the 200,000 churches of tho
United States at as nearly the same
time as possible. This does not
mean that a stated service must be
given over to this work, Uiough that
might bo desirable, but that any min
ister, or other authority whom ho
may invite, can present the problem
to his congregation before or after
hlB regular service, or on any day
within the week preceedlng or fol
lowing April 30."
