TWo Minutes
of Optimism
BY HERMAN j. STITCH
as a Man Belieueth So Is He"

Is il not fact that our greatest ser :
mons are short?
And one of the greatest of them all
is contained in just one sentence in the
Good Book.
1t is this:
''As man bclieveth so is he
| believe that what the writer of this
observation was cunning for especially
was the bogy of superstition.
Most men bring about what they
think about.
If you believe that Friday is an un-
lucky day to begin things. If you hold
that Friday. the 18th. is still worse,
il your idea is that 1t portcnds Ill for
thirteen to sit at table or to occupy
Il room on the thirteenth, floor Of hotel
or 10 see the new moon over the left
shoulder
If you are convinced that all these
things exercise an Ominous influence
and that in defying them you are 60
ing to incur dire results, such will prob
ably be the case, because. having lost
confidence and courage in your own
ability to carve out your destiny, you
will do nothing to stave off what you
consider inevitable.
The sailors superstitions regarding
q hoodoo ship are real to him because
he thinks they are. and consequently
he does not take the same precautions
for safety and protection which he
would but for his conviction that some
danger will come to the ship-danger
which nothing can ward off.
The believer in superstition Is in ef-
feet fatalist; and the fataist never
makes the same effort to finish what he
attempts as others.
He thinks that everything is fore
ordained. prearranged, and that moth
ing he could do would change results
that if he is going to be killed in battle
he will be; If he is going to be killed
in a railroad wreck he will be; that
nothing can prevent the event.
That is the way our superstitions af-
feet us--as a man believeth so is he
and II is our belief in the evil inherent
in some things that tends to bring out
evil in us, not the things themselves.
Instead of secping the mind in and
paralyzing the faculties with supersti-
ton, amulets. hoodoOs and voodoos.
how much more potent and cOnstruc-
tive is st. Paul's injunction:
whatsoever things are honest.
whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are
of good report-think on these things.
