Don't borrow trouble, if you must
borrow, why then borrow joy, and be

Learn selfreliance above all else.
Seek to solve your own problems. A

it has not yet learned its own

The Gospel of Happiue..

The gospel of happiness is one that
every woman should lay to heart.
What it means to man to come home
at night to a cheerful wife no one but
he who has had to fight the hard bat
tie of life knows. If he is prosperous
it is an added joy; but it is in misfor-
tune that it shines like a star In the
darkness. A complaining wife can
kill the last bit of hope and courage
in a sorely troubled heart. while a
cheerful one gives new courage to be-
gin the fight over again.
