There are besides the fire insurance an

Thought apostles rather overriding this
optimism business? OF course cheerful
ness and content are all right but is
there anything like genuine old
crouch" to relieve the feelings now and
then2 Another thing: it is noticeable
that most of these people who have the
sunshine microbe are plump, and rosy
and have good congenial jobs. Perhaps
they'd like to make out that they have
health and wealth and contentment as
a result of their glad optimism but the
suspicion remains that they are cheer
full because they have nothing to be sore
about.
There has long been a theory that
that old rule, BE good and you will be
happy" would work as we'll or better
the other way.
There is undoubtedly something in this
New Thought philosophy for people who
have leisure and opportunity to study it
out but take the case of the mother of
half dozen BABIES, who keeps house,
cooks, washes, irons, sews and mendS
for the family or her husband who tolls
all day to earn the money to support
them? Do you suppose they could get
much benefit out of a sunshine club?
Or the OverWorked and unpaid girl in
office, factory or shop trying to earn
living for herself and sometimes others
who goes to work. i'll or we'll, at
o'clock in the morning and continues
until o'clock at night-who wants to
carry the glad tidings of a right mental
attitude to her? No doubt the sunshiny
disciples of the gospel of good cheer are
serving a useful purpose in furnishing
the idle, bored ennuyed women of the
wealthy classes with a new fad, but the
thing can be overdone. Pessimism, too,
can serve its end, now and then; at least
as a healthy antidote to a surfeit of
sweetness.
