NOT ALWAYS EASY TO SMILE,
Did You Ever Practice C~heerfulness In
Narrowing Circumstances7

It is comparatively easy to be pleas
ant and cheerful when our bread-and.
butter problem is solved. when we are
strong and healthy. when we have har.
monious, comfortable homes and
money in the bank: but the test Of
character comes when there is q fan.
lily to support, when . wife and little
ones are looking to US for bread and
clothing, and the wolf is pretty near
the door; when we are struggling
against poor health, . discordant
home, a dishonest partner. 1t is a
very difficult thing to be cheerful and
hopeful when a man 10 out of a job,
with no money in the bank, and an
invalid wife and children depending
upon him.
1t is comparatively easy to be optim.
istic when the granary is full. when
there are no clouds on the horizon, but
a very difficult thing to be hopeful and
cheerful when the capital is small and
business poor. It Is hard to be optim-
istic when notes and bills are coming
due and there 10 no money to pay for
goods which lie unsold on the shelves.
1t Is easy to smile when we are well
and everything Is coming our way. but
when everything goes wrong with us,
when undergoing misfortunes or hard
ships, when those near to US are sick
and in distress. when poverty pinches,
when the four is getting low In the
barrel. and hungry children look long
ingly into ones face. then it is not SO
easy to smile. to give the cordial hand
shake. to be serene, balanced and
poised. But this is just the time that
real character, that fine training, win
stand n in good stead.-Orison
