There may I not be much more of this trouble now than before, but we hear more about it, It has become a subject of considerable research, and if studies lessen the ailment, that is all to the good. , We are thinking just now of another condition which may come to any of us; a stiffness of mental joints which we can con trol, It is not to be wondered at that pepole who have lived, fifty or sixty years and often more, should be “set in their ways.” There is a story told of a .man who was so stubborn that each morning he prayed: “0 Lord, I hope I’m always right, for I’m an awful' hard man to turn,” Note that the story is about a man, not a woman, Yet one of the surest ways to keep the mind healthy is to be hospitable to new ideas. Once the mind is closed to new ideas old age has set in and death is not far behind. Some of , the healthiest-minded people we have ever known have been over four score years; their minds were young because they welcomed new ideas and kept them fresh and eager, and they are greatly loved by young people. And thought-control is pos sible. The late Dr. Frank Crane said: “The art of happy living is closely connected with the art of controlling one’s thoughts. The cause of much despondency and even of suicide is thinking con stantly on unpleasant subjects— it will sap your mind and ,deplete your capacity. Learn to reject thoughts which get you down,” Such thoughts come and seek ad mittance; resentment, bitterness ■and even hatred. They need not be admitted and if they are turned away .they will come only rarely, and finally not at all. We all create mental habits and our thoughts follow brain tracks just as an engine keeps to the rails. We hear a lot about bad habits and these can be steadily built up and made permanent. A sense of humor is a sign of a healthy mind. .Some well-mean ing people have supposed that a hearty laugh indicated shallow ness. That is a great mistake. If some sobersides would laugh more—they would be easier to live with and do more good. .The famous Scotch writer Dr. John Watson (Ian Maclaren) used, to say that he never knew trouble to break out in a family Where the parents teased the children in a good-natured way. We feel sure there wouldn’t be many divorces if married couples cul tivated a good sense of humour, Good humor oils the machinery. A healthy mind can be built up ‘by good reading. There are literally thcusands of good books; wholesome and .stimulat ing. There is a lot of sordid trash; p a n d e r i n g to deprave tastes, but one does not have to read such books. There are books which tell of purity, or love and beauty and which increase our faith in the decency and nobility of human beings, Not long ago we saw a book * ............ .. are what you there is a lot volume, but we “You are what would not be one-hundred per cent true, but the right kind of reading can buck us up tremend ously. There is a passage in the Bible, written twenty-five or twenty-seven centuries ago, which reads: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” (Proverbs 17: 22.) The writei’ of that verse was not afraid He knew it .was__ ______ ___ and he wanted to develops his sense of humour cultivate their’s Above all, .don’t get sorry for yourself. The world is full of people who meet hardships and seeming disaster, but they keep their minds healthy and .refuse to become bitter or cynical or self pitying. The other evening I was pres ent at a service club. About sixty men, mostly middle-aged, had a wonderful time. They slapped each other on the back, used Christian names and roared hi lariously at feeble jokes. Some people sniff at that but not I. A friend of mine, who criticizes service clubs, says the men behave like children. No doubt lie is right, but isn’t there a saying of Jesus that we must become little children? Ahd bursts of exuberant good nature help to keep minds healthy.
