Do not keep a mental account of the knocks you get in life, but maintain a fond recollection of your successes. It is a bad habit to over estimate the things which annoy and underestimate the things which afford pleasure. Some folks need hard hits, and some really need considerable netting to spur them on. Turn the jolts of life into memories which excite grateful ness. Many a man has had to fail to learn the lessons which meant to him future success. Many are the men who finding they were square pegs in round holes have taken it upon themselves to get into the place in life which fitted them, and which they fitted. There are people teaching today who have not the ability to train a dog to say nothing of instructing a human soul to get out of life the best there is in it. The business must be adapted to you, or you cannot find the joy to be found in employment. Knowledge af : fords pleasure just as truly as work produces the wherewithaI to obtain SuStenanCe

Norwich bulletin., 1916-10-21

If we think of the moral life of man
 the case is quite the same. Safety lies in maintaining a vigorous power of re-
 sistance to evil influence and suggeS- ton. If the mind is filled with whole some thoughts and the heart is set on
 righteousness the bad motives that hover around will perish for want of a habitation and d home. It is the un- fortified spirits that go down in the onslaught. Vacant and impoverished fields furnish the best soil for weeds. Modern men cannot escape untoward conditions as did earnest people cen@
 turies ago. The monasdc impulse once took thousands of the best souls out
 of active life among men and into the
 mountain retreats, where they might
 practise devotion, free from the peTils
 of this present sinful world. The problem was thus solved for the souls who could so retire, but it left the poor old world desperately bereft. The leaVen that alone could leaWen the lump was not mingled with the dough A pathetic story it is indeed that his tory tells of those dark ages in which it has been said that the common man had two main Wishes-one for a stout leathern coat, and the other, not to be killed.
 Earnest people today are ambitious to mingle quite thoroughly in the life of their times. They realize that only as the salt and the leaven of right eousness are brought immediately into contact with human situations is there hope of better things. The world is regarded as a place to be cleaned up and sweeteped, not as 8 spot of doom from which one must flee.
 No good doctor will shun service in an epidemic and no right minded cit izen will sflirk his civic duties.

When man or woman gets too old to work they should know they are
 too old to fret and fuss. The charm of old age is to think and talk cheer fully, to look pleasant and cease to find fault. When one has ceased to be productive 1t is wise to be agree = able This applies to private as well as institutional life. Cut out the snarling and fault-fnding before the habit is confirmed, or you will become an old srouch. The habits of pOsitiv-
 ism and Willfulness seem worse than ever when there appears to be no need, and no excuse for them. The art
 of being agreeable proves in old age
 to be a grace and an asset. The abil- ity to forget what nas been and to
 conform to what is does not require
 genius-common sense may accomplish
 it. Preparedness for old age is worthy
 of attention long before middle life has been reached.

Sonae people deceive the doctor and then blame him because his medicine does not meet their cases. One of the leading fool lies in this world is the one which misleads the helping hand. When we are conscious Of our own bad habits. responsibility and guilt it is not strange that we find it an extreme test for our honor and honesty to sit down and tell the doctor all about it. There is no fear or modesty which can serve as an excuse for such a lack of sense as this sort of deception repre- sents. The doctor isn't mind readerl
 lie can check the action of the poison in you if he can discover what poison IS necessary to antidote it. Some polsons are so pronounced in action that the doctor can read the symptoms and relieve you. In such cases the very symptoms disclose whether you are truthful or not. In more obscure cases your lies baff1e the physician and his drugs do you no good; and you suffer and islander him for lack of re- suits for which you are really to blame. This isn't very honorable, is it? Tell your doctor the truth or else do not employ him.

In these days those who try to follow
 the advice: Tell the truth and
 shame the devil" soon find that is one of the certain ways of looking for
 trouble. If men dared speak the truth
 to one another no one would ever have
 thought that "the use of language is
 for the ooncealment of thought. A
 literary light of this day says: "Every one knows Dr. Conan Doyle is better story teller ti1ap Sir Walter Scott, but
 no man of standing dares say so for it
 wouldn't be popular The world
 doesn't seem to be able to recognize
 great man until he is dead and has
 been praised by at least two genera tions of scholars. Who tells g friend what he thinks of him? If we wish to be thought well of we praise many
 men who merit blame. The old George Washington Club with it's symbolic hatchet was not an organization of truth -tellers but of practical josers; truth is no joke. although some men venture to treat it as if it were. But in spite of all of this Emerson was raHht when he said: ''The greatest
