"rwho gives and hides the giving hand
Nor counts on favor, fame or praise,

This life is a great schooIhouse. The
wise teacher trains in us such gifts as,
if we graduate honorably, will be OF

Why should we not JOY in the triumphs
of our friends and neighbors? Why
should we not stand shoulder to shout

who is making an effort to rise in the
world is Surer to rise high than the man
of distant climes of whom we know little
and care less? But it thus comes about

from the shafts of friendly ridicule he
must live his best life away from the
gaze of his intimates. And this often
makes life exceeding lonely.
Nothing contributes more to the high
est success than the formation of the
habit of enjoying things. Whatever your
calling in life may be, whatever mis-
fortunes or hardshipS may come to you,
make up your mind resolutely that, come
what may, you will get the most posi-
BILE real enjoyment out of every day;
that you will increase your capacity for
enjoying life by trying to find the sunny
side of every experience of the day. Res
Olutely determine that you will see the
humorous side of things.
Did you ever stop to think how much
more we laugh at people than with them2
We are always ready to write our fellows
down fools; we are seldom ready to joy

Of the song of humanity is its woes its
wrongs and its follies. man commits

with any marked degree of uniqueness
and he gets his picture in to boot. But
all the virtues of his life go unlisted and
uncatalogued

In the last number the following bit of
philosophy appeared: Zone of the surest

ment is to think Of what one has rather
than of what is lacking In other words.
% be humbly thankful one is no worse
off instead of wasting time thinking of
what might have been. To bemOan your
lot is foolish. There is nothing in It, and
1t only bOreS or pains others. 1t is much
more sensible to learn to appreciate the
things one has. Look for the good things
IN life and you will find them just the
same as you find the disagreeable things
by looking for them"
