THE BRIGHT SIDE. THE HAPPY FACULTY OF LOOKING “ON THE BEST SIDE OF LIFE. Too Many People Allow Themselves to Ile Weighed Down by the Dally Cares of Life That Must Be Met and Fall to See the Pleasant Things Near By. Everything has at least a good side to #8, and sooner or later rome one will he able to ee it. It is a happy fortune to be able casily toses what is good, thong Ido not believe in shutting our éyes to the evil. Ihave a friend who never secs the evil until it overwhelms her. She considers all things to be well enough at Teast and so has no foresight to ward ff disaster. This is certainly a curious dis- "position and not a good qne for those who have the care of families, What I ‘do mean is that it isa capital thing bo soo the good that really is in all things 1 said to my neighbor, who is deaf in one ear, “Tt is n pity, my dear; is there no remedy? “Idon't think there is” ‘she said, “but then thera is a great bless ing in it, for I have learned to sleep with “my good ear to the pillow, and so nonolse ean disturb me.” It-was acurious illus - tration of how one may use a depriva- tion and make it a real advantage," It is 8 great art to find out all the goodl there is in life.

Theres are half a dozen things we have to learn, and many never do learn them One of theso is thet we have will power: $0 control a vast deal that wo sit dovn underneath. Life has no blessing grent- er than its antazonisms. Differ as we may from professional faith. curists, they hevo a great truth in store, and I. wish they may have vast influence in reconstructing sentiment. There is no peed of being an éxtremist in belief, yet ft is a fact that we have cultivated a Xind of moral cowardice about our dis ‘eases. I believe they are right that we are vastly more powerful than we have sd ourselves to be.’ i t I ama a broader believer than they, for I am confident we cannot only cry “Jown snd out” to half our physical , but to a lzrge proportion of our bles and what we call onr bothers.
