SMILE AS YOU 90.
Everybody Loves the Man With .
Shining C-ounfenauce.

Everybody Loves the Man With o.
Shining C-ountenance.
Brighter than the most brilliant of
gems. electrifying with a radiance that
does not dazzle SO much as 1t calls
forth O reflection of Brightness. 10 the
aiming countenance.
The soul of each man is a sun Of In
finite energy and glorious light. But
how few allow themselves to shine!
How few faces are lit up with their
possible divine lifel
Take your thoughts away from the
swamps of fear and evil, center them
on the ideals Of faith and love, on good
Intentions for others. and your counte-
nance is at once illuminated.
Look In q mirror, and you shall see
that my words are true. Absolve your
self of all troubles, be peaceful, be
still, cease all your %repining; then your
c~ountenance will shine.
That such an instantaneous physical
change can take place by a change OF
thought suggests what power there Is
IN a renewed habit of thought, a habit
created by repeated conscious repose-
full efforts of calm, concentrated think
ing In line with the ideal.
Not only is the countenance changed
Inv q bright thought, but the whole
body. The atoms are sc many worthless
OF ether, and the central force of each
Is the mind.
A shining ~countenance is a smiling
countenance. Look on life rightly, and
you cannot but be pleased. Then you
will smile, you win laugh with joy. be-
cause of life's possibilities.
You have perhaps desired to reach
greater heights of power. You will
reach them easier II you will but smile
az you go.
There is every reason why the heart
should be glad, and your love for 9th
ers will show this 30. This Is the sun
shine that expresses itself in your
countenance. The mere fact of loving
drives away fear and darkness. All
false conceptions of duty, the conclu'
sions OF a biased reasoning, vanish at
the appearance of love.
Every one loves the sunshiny days
and every one loves the man whose
e@
soul or Individual sun shines through
his face.
Such q man will be trusted wherever
he is. He is an interpreter of life; he
will intuitively grasp the meaning OF
things; he will be welcomed every
where; he will recognize all and he will
be recognized by all; he will be re
ceived as the Son of Man, a true exem'
plar OF his race, a leader In the evolu'
ton of humanity; he will be an encour'
agement and an incentive to all
A shining ~countenance Is first of al
an immediate phenomenon expressive
Of the proof of right thinking, and the
same source of this illustration con
tains the potency of completely chang
ang character, body, surroundings, Of
influencing the person, the community
The rae of issuing forth from Its In
finite, solar center great stream of life
giving out more vigor, raising the whole
realm OF existence to the higher plane

Fort Wayne. Captain Head. acting
against the advice Of the other officers
and the settlers, decided to eyacuate
the fort. He did not carry out his
plans at once, but resolved to attempt
to placate the redskins by dividing
among them the stores which could not
be taken away.
The evacuation was begun on Aug.
10. The little band filed out of the post
to the music of a dead march. With
his Miamis Captain Wells led the pro-
