MOUNT CLARE



MT. CLARE, May Go to
Church DAY" was observed at the
Methodist Protestant church Sunday,
by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Satter-
field. Although no special program
was rendered, the minister preached
an appropriate sermon to well
filled house, which together with
special music made it an enjoyable
occasion.
The Rev. j. E. Workman filed his
plpit in the Methodist Episcopal
church Sunday evening His subject
was iGheerfulness and Optimism, :
in which he severel arraigned the
pessimist and the crouch. All must
admit that the world would Cbe much
more enjoyable If all could be cheer
full at all times, and but for sin
such condition could obtain; but
some of the best Christians will feel
sad at times when environed by sin.
From the readings of the Four
i Gospels. Jesus Himself did not al
ways manifest a cheerful counte-
nance. Cheerfulness and laughter
are always closely associated to-
gether, and nowhere in the Bible can
1t be found where Jesus ever
laughed. though it can be found
where He wept.
