Optimism's Value

Optimism is found in the lives of
all the men and women who have
helped to make life richer and fuller
for others. If you want to be of sery-
ice in the world, keep encouraging
those who are respondent. Try to
bring brightness and cheer into the
oarR corners. An Optimist is one who
looks for the bright side, turning away
from the hidden dangers.-Grit. <,
