We are delighted to have you get wet in our rain or to bask In our sunshine' for the sun always shines on the mountain whether you see it or not and to have you lulled by our breeze. 'Did I say 'sunshine' and These words are a ready and sufficient text when speaking to Rotarians, for who more than Rotarians reflect the sunny and cheerful, the happy side of life; who more than you enliven all about you; who more than you give a warmth and a glow to your environment. "Although the sun Is said to be ninety two millions of miles from the earth, its Influence is not only felt, but it Is indispenslble. And so I fancy the human touch reflected in the sympathetic message you sent a few m'ontha ago under and across the sea. sent a thrill of comfort and cheer to Its recipient.

In these, days of hustle and hurry, the noon social hour is not only a real delight, but a sort of rife caver and equilibrium maker as well. 'There appear to be two kinds of Individuals in the world: One solemn, sober, serious, who much prefers to picture the sad side of life and to dwell thereon; the other whose heart beats of human sympathy may be heard around the corner the sunshine of whose presence fills a room. The one delights to tell all the bad news he can think of the other Is happiest when reflecting sunshine and cheer and when Imparting good newa to those about him. "It is the sunshine that brings out the flowers that fill the air with sweetest perfume, and it Is the Ro tar Ian, who by the warmth and geniality of his nature brings out the best there Is in those about him.
