l to make good; the people who are grinding their own exes just like you are trying to grind yours.
 During the last few weeks there has been a tremendous spirit of op- timism in our own town.
 Stories have been written in the newspapers with an optimistic, rosy hue; everybody has been boosting and trying to talk away hard times" and staving things off as 1t were
 l was amused at Gov M, B, We'll born when he was here last week.
 He mentioned that one of our nice reporter -boys'-H. ". Schaeffer- who writes the best sort of news paper dope, and is a rattling good member of the reportorial staff of our paper, went in to see him.
 Governor Wellborn," said Mir. Schaeffer, a he shook hands with the big federal reserve bank magnate, T want an optimistic story please"
 When the governor was telling me about the incident, he smiled all over as we say, and said:
 That boy just caught me by his optimism; by his cheerful sunny. bright way of approaching me and instead of talking hard times he announced his campaign in the first sentence-optimlsm
 Surely we can all do our part and the other fellows too, by boosting" and "optimi istically" picturlng things to ourselves and to our brothers on the right of us-or at the back Of us or any where near us.
 Its you,"-is a motto well worth thinking about.
 Its you" who hasn't met your brother man half way: Its you" who hasn't told him he'd done some thing well and that you are proud of him: Its you," who hasn't com plimented instead of "knocked;" :" remember that: It's you;" not the other fellow.
 You recall what Sam Jones, the great evangelist, once said:
 Boys, make love to your wife every day: compliment her whether you feel like it or not; tell the old hen you love her even if you haven't a spark of love left for her; but tell her, it'll do you and her both good"
 If we are really just and honest, we'll take the blame of sins of omission" (which to my way of thinking are often far worse than sins of commission") like man, and acknowledge that the It's you, at titude." will help us a whole lot if we only look into our own hearts and lives.

That's the idea;


 Tt isn't the town--it's you"
 In other words-boost;' take an"op- timistic" view of things: especially today when the worlds all awry and every thing is topsy- -turvy, and up side down; "boost-that's the key note; give the other fellow some flowers while he's living; don't with hold the cup of cold water" from the parchlns lips until 1t is too late; extend the right hand of fellowship" over the chasm and makeup" If there's difference between you!
 Oh, people; it's terrible thing-this little span we call life," with so much to hurt us and upset Us, not to have the good will of people and the cooperation of people and the brotherhood of man" in our lives.

 You are the one who's holding back-you are the one who is not going over half way to meet the other fellow; you are the one who has left "undone the things you should have done,' as the beautiful prayer says: You are the one upon whom everything depends to make some other life happier: some one else's way smoother; some one else pathway happier-someone else's world worth while"
