Morrison began to grow elderly, and at all and family gatherings he was the center of hospitality and} pleasure He went to church, but while he sat there, the picture of content and worldly success, the bars were on those win dows, telling the story of how he loved himself more than his fellow man.

THE SUNSHINY MAN BY FRED SCHAEFER. = is the use of the sunshiny man— What does he profit the earth, Smiling through life without any plan Except to infect it with mirth? No steelclad ranks to conquest he leads, No provinces wrings from the foe No ruins he leaves as proof of his deed: No slaves his mastery No parliament know; trembles at his name, He brings no kings to their knees, He explores no poles for frenzied fame, Nor finds new germs of disease; No frowning creeds of cruel He to the lowly, But blithely makes of life As if happiness pomp preaches a romp were holy! Out on him, then, the sunshiny but ridiculous man without any But cheering existence along! Vhat we must have More crushing grief and The world is too narrow man The mfan with no purpose The &, plan is more of gloom, care to yield him room Who scorns a somber air! We want more men despondent and grim, sullen and dull-visaged mortals Who cannot reflect like the of Him A ray from the heavenly portals. If the earth can keep turning away from the light Ahead there is darkness profound But it never face can enter With that sunshiny a region of night man around! “How's that new house of yours All right.
