Enthusiastic Meeting Of Sports
men Held at Hartford
Tuesday.
FAVOR CHANGE IN GAME LAW
Want 80 Days to Dispose of Deer
and also Want Law to APP
ply to Bird Hunters.

There was a very enthusiastic meeting
of the sportsmen of southwestern Mich
igan held at Hartford last Tuesday.
There were about 200 sportsmen present,
and it was very pleasant and profitable
meeting. A club to be known as the
South western rod and gun club was
organized with the following officers for
the ensuing year: DR.. A. Elgas, Hart
ford, president; e. A. Chase, Waverly.
vice president; w. G. Wildey, Paw Paw,
secretary; j. L. Vandervere, Coloma,
treasurer.
Resolutions were passed by the organ
ization recommending that the game
law be left as it is at present with the
exception of the length Of time allowed
for the disposition of deer, which they
would have made 30 days instead of FIVE
as the law now reads. Also that the law
as it applies to deer shooting be made to
apply to bird shooting as well.
There was an excellent collection of
at noon the school children were invited
to come to the hall and view the collec-
ton.
State Game Warden Chapman and
Chief Deputy Hoyt we're present and
favored the meeting with instructive
talks along the lines of game legislation
and protection.
lhe organization is an excellent one,
and much good can be derived by such
concentrated action and effort Anyone
can become a member of the club by
sending the small sum of % cents to the
secretary, which will entitle one to a
membership card. 1t is to be hoped
that all sportsmen and Others interested
in the protection of game and fish will
become members.

X LITTLE LAY SERMON.

A bona fide minister ought to be preachment, and at this season of the year, under all the circumstances that call for hope and faith of every kind, one of Dr. Daniel McGurk's fine phrases is specially appropriate. In a recent sermon the Doctor, according to the Kansas City Journal, was dis cussing the most practical and timely issues, and declared that what the people need is an epidemic of optim- ism The phrase is full of the sound, sweet meat of wholesome thought. It is particularly apropos of present conditions and it is appropriate for all times
 1t is easy to get Sporadic case of hopefulness; to have the brighter-s view in varioloid form. What We real ly need is universal epidemic of sun shine, for which there should be no known counter irritant or preventive. The very etymology of the word "epi~ demic" is significant. It means upon the people,; that is, upon everybody not merely on the government of ticials and the bankers and the busi- ness men and those in high places. The infection must spread to the whole people.
 The lesson is especially applicable to the financial situation, but it should cover more ground than that. This epidemic of optimism should spread to every purpose and incentive, becoming the guiding motive and habit of lives. Optimism means not merely hoping for the best, hoping that the best will come to pass, but faith in the triumph of the best, and cheerful cooperation with all the agencies that bring about the victory of that which is best. The very word is smile, while e>pessimism sounds like snarl when 1t is pro nounced. Nobody can say "pessimism without getting sour in the face. It is saturated with cynicism and distrust and is a vocalized sheer.
 Back in our school days We remem- ber that the sweet girl graduates wrote pretty be-ribonned essays on Italy and the Alps, and explained that "the darkest hour is just before the dawn and told how "the stars shine bright act on the darker n Tf they were fresh from d drua they unconsciously cer ~eA1 refer ences 10 the fact tha. ' IS sweet est in the fire; that spices are most odorous when ground; that roses are most fragrant when crushed; and if theologically inclined they drew heavy similitudes about afflicuon being the greatest henefacter and Gods children being most triumphant when most tempted.
 But in after years we forgot the be- ribboned lessons the sweet girl grad, uates SO glibly preached. We grew skeptical and suspicious and grumpy Now we need to come within the ra- dius of infection of this splendid epi- demio Of optimism and be!ieve-not

necessarily that whatever is is right" for if isn't; not that God is in His heaven and. all is right with the world; God is in His heaven, but all is not right with the world. But we can and should believe that much that is not right can be made right; that what is bad can be made good and what is good can be made better. We can and should believe that all will be right with the world some day, that things are not even so wrong now as many people think they are. And, above all, we can and should not mere ly believe these things, but act on the belief and work toward this goal of realized optimism.
