From Great Minds Cheerfulness Which will you do: smile and make others happy; or be crabbed, and make everyone around you miserable? The amount of happiness you can produce is incalculable, if you show a smiling face, and speak pleasant words;there is no joy like thht which springs from a kind act, or a pleas- ant deed; and you may feel it at night when you ret, and at morning when you rise, an through all the day when about your business. d'Agoult God's Presence As age advances, the certainty ef God's presence and willingness to commune with us grows stronger'and somehow ever, more real, as if there were but a step between time and eternity. I cannot altogether account for it but it grows stronger and stronger as age advantes. Some bod- ily powers, I suppose, are going, but I begin to feel moving within me in a way which P. sometimes canhot und- erstand "the 'power of the world, to come." Mary Elizabeth Haldane Love of Others Think what it is to be full of love to every creature,, to be frightened: at nothing, to be sure that all things will, tuna to good, not tcc mind pain, 'be- cause it is our Father's will; to know that nothing could part us 'from God who loves us, and who fills our souls with peace and joy, because we are sure that whatever He will is- holy, just and good. George Eliot. Dawn And now he saw with lifted eyes The The East like a great chancel rise, And deep through all his senses drawn Received the sacred wine of dawn,— Henry Newbolt, Daily Gratitude Thank God every morning, when you get up that you have somehing to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, 'and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know. —C. Kingsley. Idleness Idleness is indeed the burial of a living man; an idle person being so useless to any purposes of ,God and man that he is like one that is dead, unconcerned in the changes and ne- cessities of the world . . Idleness is the greatest prodigality, in the world; it throws that which is inishlu- able in respect of its present use, and irreparable when it is past being, to be recovered by no power of Art or 'nature—Jeremy Taylor.

Getting out of a train, with difficul- ty the other morning and fearing that a fellow -traveller might think from my contortions that I was intoxicated, I aplained.to him that I had' a touch of rheumatism. "Well," he, said, "I've never had rheumatism myself—touch wood— but I remember' 'meeting a chap in Manchester 'who told me he had had terrible rheumatism; that he'd, tried every kind of cure and given himself up as a cripple 'for lite, when someone advised him to carry a raw potato in Few -.'of 'us are skeptics about his 'hip 'hip pocket.

'Do you know' he said 'exactly the same thing happened to me? tried I could find' nothing to relieve the 'pain of my tor•• turing rheumatism until someone mentioned 'the raw &tato remedy. It worked. ( I was cured. And I've never rid rheumatism since'." "Tit certainly sounds worth trying," I said. "I'll get hold of a raw potato as soon as I reach home." "They 'say it goes 'all shrivelledand black in tithe," he told me, "as it ab- sorbs acids outOrthe system." "I'll waer it if necessary," said I "until it goes /blue."

Ho. FRUFFAIIVESatelr: that they 'are being scientifically up to date if they doubt kinds of things their ancestors beli„eved in— doubt them, and decide without fur- ther investigation that they are er- roneous. Doubt is an excellent thing, but only if it leads to investigation. These people claim the right not only to doulbt, but to denk ever given tea ntinutee thought to the matter. Marty People deny the existence of ghosts, for example, not because they - have taken a scientific interest in the subject, but merely because they look on a belief in ghosts as absurd. Noth- ing could Ibe more absurd, 'however, than to regard a belief in ghosts as absurd. Men, civilized and uncivilized, have believed in them for centuries; and, most of us have met people at least as intelligent and honest as our- selves, who declared that they had seen them. I think that, on the evid- ence, a belief in ghosts is in some in- stances more scientific than supersti- • tious. I confess I am myself a prey to doubt in many matters; .that I often doubt, not because I have any reason to do so, but because it has long been the fashion to doubt. Take astrology, for example:---11Vtait reason have I for doubting the genuineness of this anc- ient science,? I fancy te majority of the people ceased to believe in astrology not be - 'cause they hid reasoned, the matter out, but because it had become assoc- iated with so many im.posters. Why should an ignoramus such as I, dis- believe in the genuineness of astrol- ogy except for such unscientific reasons? There was a time when the iomontanus, [Cpopernicus, Tycho Brahe, Galileo, Kepler, and others— believed in astrology as dognatically as the leaders of thought disbelieve in it today. They probably had brains as good as any -to be found. in modern universities. And they used' arguments for their belief that I. for one cannot refute. I's it not then a little unscientific of me to wave aside the considered opinions of these wise ancients mere- ly because it cs the' modern custom to wave them aside? I should -respect my skepticism more if I had ever en- quired into the evidence on which the beliefs of tbese.great men.Were bas- ed. But I am too lazy to do so. Besides, when, I read: books on—ast- rology, with the best will in. the World I can -not follow the' jargon. I soon' feel my brain whirling round as though were ballooning through the airless. space of the stratosphere. For ex- ample, a chapter of 'Ptolemy is head- ed: "Of the Faudliarities between Countries and the' Triplicities' and Stars." I cannot understand that. But what puzzles me is why I. who can- not understand What Ptolemy is talk- ing about, should take it ,for granted 'he is talking nonsense. Why should swallow all we are told nowadays about influences of carrots, .and be un- able to swallow 'what we were once told about the influences of the stare? IS it less likely that waxing moon should favor seeds newly sown in my vegetable garden, than that a waxing vitamin should preserve 'me from night -blindness • we- believe as, we disbelieve of trust. We ac4uieSce superstitiously in, the learned opinions only of our own time. IA - Witchcraft is 'another thing in the reality of which we have ceased to believe, not 'as a result of examininj the evidence on both sides, butsnainly because civilized men became tired of belieroing in it. Grief or horrors that rational men, being pragmatists, dec- ided, that belief which was the root of so much evil should be destroyed. Perhaps it Is only in regard to cures generally looked. upon as superstit- Ions, that I reveal a more scientific temper than most of mi. fellows. I am inclined to experience with almost any cure, from the water of a holy well to a Patent medicine, ?corn the repetitions of Coue to a witchpotion,, I like reading the catalogues Of her- balists, and 'always listen 'with inter- est 'to theft who have been healed by herbal ,remedies. Unfortunately, experiments in heal- ing take :More thought and time than an indolent man has at his disposal. I once bought an iodine locket and forgot to..., wear it. 1 bought a bottle of -dandelion coffee and forgot to fin- ish It. Still the scientific spirit was there in embryo. I feel it coining to birth again every' time I become con- scious of the raja' potato in my hip - pocket. The evidence ito far is that it is Working ,wonders. I ate lready all hiltleihred. Ache moral Is: never hate a superstitious disbelief sttperstit- ions. Be scientific; Investigate—even mark 'of the nelentitle spirit. it it involves Walking about With a raw I know od Ignite people Who think potato in your pocket When I,get home I had a smallish potato washed and dried, and dropped it—not Without skepticism, yet not without hope—into My hip pocket.
