The Gold in the Smile Tt is a material world. We value as riches only the things we can grasp and hold tn our hands. And, yet, the real treasures of life, which give to all the outward things their meaning, are of the heart. “Tangible” riches? Why, but for so “intangible” a thing as sun- Hight, the whole material universe would be black nothingness; but for “intangible” heat, not the smallest spark of life could be; but for “intangible” colors and fragrances, the sweetost flower would bo only a weed; and but for the “intangible” Hight and warmth and fragrance of a smile, the most perfectly formed human face Is only @ lifeless maak. It would be very Interesting and highly Instructive ff one could compute the value of the part which the smile has played In the bis tory of humanity, Statisticians accurately measure the wealth of tho mines and of the farms and of the factories and even of the seas and the alr—bdillions upon billions. But there are no figures vast enough to express the value to mankind of so small and simple a thing as the smile. Like the ray of sunshine, it comes from the boundless heart of universal love; it {s free; and so cannot be relatively valued. And, like the sunshine again, it gilds with glory all It falls upon, and so is Mmitless in value. If you smile into your mirror, it smiles back; It is the same with the world. As soon as the world finds out that you have a pleasant smile it will bring you many a pleasant story, many a happy ctr cumstance. Care flees from a smiling face, but looks upon a sour one invitation to come and abide Not all smiles have real sunshine In them. Some faces have learned the art of “making up” so well that even a smile can be put on so smoothly that none but a child can see {ts insincerity. A child that has not learned to deceive has not yet learned how to be de- ceived. In every department of the commercial and social world—every- where—it is geniality that pays the biggest dividends on the small- est investments. It is only by-making concessions that the surly boor holds his own in business. There have been sweeter emotions smfled than can be expressed fm any words. The smile has always been universal speech. It has ever expressed clearly the simplest, the sweetest, the greatest emo- tions of the haman soul.
