Being human. happily 81 unhappny,
We cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the rejection that misery
never lacks the company X loves. We
all have our troubles. and some Of US
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation Of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to be as few
In number as they are disagreeable in
association. The vast majority Of hui
mans are normal and disposed, there
fore, In conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent Of clouds;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind, colors the dis
position and makes d cripple of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sciously the certainty Of death, but
too little c%ognizance is taken of the
fact that the effect Of mere apprehen-
sion, which is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George
