Talk to me-and | will tell YOU
Your religion-maybc | will not
call it by the name you use - but
1t will be one of two-either PessI-
mism or Optimism.
1t IS yours and you have made il
yours. 1t is obvious that only the lat
ter creed is the right creed
Regardless that both of these creeds
have plenty of facts to support them
here are few tho'ts which may help
you. Pessimism is destructive. Opt
mism is constructive.
The creed of Pessimism is the be-
lief that You will perish like a dog
1t is despair and ends in friendlessness
grief and failure.
Opposite is the Optimist who be-
lieves in life--in the divinity and in
conquerablenes of immortal spirit
From it he enjoys the satisfactions OF
life and is ajoy to others.
The only enemy man has is him
self
Conquer sclf-and make OF yourself
an optimist.
Not blind believer in acquired
friends and goods without eifort-but
instead an optimist thru full realiza-
ton that as you practice Christian
living and Christian thinking there is
nothing in this world to defeat you.
Without such spirit you may have
l;fe but you have no Christian religion
