both its beauty and ugliness and an
ability to feel strongly and to bear
well So if ones portion is for n
long time sorrow, there is nothing
in that about which to become pessi-
mistic.
There is much that is terrible in
life That has TO be recognized But
there is nothing which is unendura BILE.
And in bearing sorrow well there is
as much grandeur as in the thrill Of the
greatest JOY and rapture
The pessimist is the man who looks
on life and says: "' tbs all barren" For
him there is everywhere dull Erayuess.
no hope or joy, no pride in enduring
pain. 1t is not what the world does
to him that makes him a pessimist- It
is his inability to react actively on
life In his own nature there is no
seed Of LIES fertility. He is empty
Of any real feeling. He is sorry for
himself and scornfu1 as to what the
world has to offer him or others. Life
for him is a dull and arid waste. His
soul can bear no flOWers-and has no
respect for anything in nature, be it
flower or weed
Blindness is the terrible affliction
of the pessimist. He looks on life and
cries that it is bare He simply can
not see anything but the horrible mo-
notony in which the worst always
happens.
However much suffering a strong
nature is called on TO bear. it reacts
in the very bearing, becomes stronger
for more enduring. and if joy comes
at last, is splendid and unfettered In
its happiness.
Nothing from the outside-nothing
the world gives or takes could make
us happy or unhappy except as our
own natures reacts The nature that
can find JOY in the mere fact that a
day is sunshiny is optimistic. But the
nature that can find hopeful sunshine
in the midst Of dark gray clouds is
splendidly free from the curse Of pes
simisu

TOY and sorrow are the expressions

never wrote finer line from the
point Of view of humanity than his
Welcome joy and welcome sorrow"
In his Sentimental Journey Lau-
renee Sterne wroote Il pity the man

With the one exception Of health,

Perhaps this sentence sounds very
radical, bat it expresses an absolute

modes of being. Think over your list

some individual who. without money,
without position. even without love,
sings at toll and in the normal express

In the most splendid JOY there must

ident, the court room buzzed like a
dynamo with voices.
