I quarrel with my domestics and am always in trouble of some kind. just because human beings are so full of sin and no one but myself Is ever right. I shall be so glad to leave this world of woe and go to heaven, but hope I will not meet many of my present acquaint- ances thereT
 Another said, If only had good health-but was born to sickness and suffering, and 1t Is Gods will that I should suffer!
 "Oh. the pity of 1t, and to imagine this is religion!
 Thank God the name of New Thought is sweeping over the land and washing away those old blasphemous errors of mistaken creeds.
 ''Thes New Thought is to give us a new race of beautiful middle-aged and old people.
 To-day in any part of the land among rich, poor, ignorant or intellectual, or thodox or materialists the beautiful ma ture face is rarer than white black bird in the woods.
 Tt is impossible to be plain, ugly, or uninteresting in late life, if the mind keeps itself occupied with right thinking.
 "The withered and drawn face of fifty indicates withered emotions and drawn and perverted ambitions.
