Eve Adam and Her Department
“Dolly Doleful is so dismal in so
very grim away that it makes one
blue to see her. She will never
laugh and play. If you give an apple
to her how her face will lengthen
out, till you feel her tears are com
ing, very soon beyond a doubt; if you
give her nuts or candy, what a dole
ful face Is hers, and you long to ask
her pardon for the pain the gift con
fers.’’
If “Dolly Doleful had been a sub
scriber to The Golden Age she would
have been all smiles instead of hav
ing the “blues. 1 ’ She would laugh
out loud and joyful every week just
to read Piney Woods Sketches, and
there is always a wholesome pleas
ure to be gained from the Home Cir
cle for young people. And Johnny
“Doleful” will find many interesting
subjects to read and talk of that a
bright boy likes to know about. In
fact, the entire “Doleful” family will
pick up on every page of The Golden
Age many golden grains of thought
that will interest and inspire them to
greatness —wholesome thoughts and
sweet sentiments that tend to better
homes generally. These are the real
ly truly things that count for most
and that will abide forever and re
dound to the uplift of humanity. And
after reading all these good things,
of course the “Doleful” family will
take another name for no one can be
acted better than she had for weeks.”
The thing that first interested me in
this letter was the unconscious grasp
ing of the phychological truism that
thoughts are things and, that negative
thoughts produce negative effects,
while positive thoughts produce posi
tive effects.
This woman after a visit from the
negative variety becomes more ill.
But when a positive visitor that radi
ates health, good cheer, vim, vigor,
energy comes around she brightens
up and laughs and sings.
And so I ask: Are you a murderer?
Do you go about helping folks to
ward the grave, or do you help them
to more life? Do you radiate cheer,
optimism, inspiration, hopefulness?
Do you make folks long to see you,
to talk with you, to watch you smile?
Do you send desirable thought chemi
cals into the mental retorts of those
with whom you work or play?
And what kind of thoughts are you
giving yourself?
It is only by giving yourself good
thoughts that you can give good
thoughts to others.
Become a creator of more good
health or more life. You can.

THE LAST STAND OF THE SIM
PLE LIFE
The South for years was rich hunt
ing ground for the lover of the pic
turesque, but changes both numerous
and rapid have occurred there in re
cent years. The old negro types of
the cotton fields are no more. The
log cabins, the pine groves, even the
stately plantation mansions, recalling
the flowery days ‘befo’ de wah,’ are
passing away. Fortunately for those
who enjoy seeing life as it is lived
where there is a real attachment to
the soil, the French section of Can-

ada is left us. Here along the lower
St. Lawrence River one may find
conditions exactly as they were a
century ago. Here the ‘one-horse
shay’, the pride of colonial days, is
making its last stand. In the fields
women may be seen cutting grain
with sickls, than which there is no
implement more primitive. The peo
ple of the hamlet live and work as
did their great-grandparents. Picture
to yourself a place where spinning is
still an everyday task! I have sat in
these simple homes watching deft
fingers at the spinning wheels and
listening to their whirring sound that
is like the hum of bees.
It was in one of these old interiors
that I photographed Grand’mere Tru

cabin across the river, thinking of a
son at sea. —The Christian Herald.

“REDOLENT OF PARADISE”
Last evening I opened my “Spur
geon’s Gems” to this passage:
“I bid you take the meditation upon
Christ as a piece of scented stuff
that was perfumed in heaven. It mat
ters not what thou hast in thy house;
this shall make it redolent of Para
dise —shall make it smell like those
breezes that once blew through
Eden’s garden, wafting the odor of
flowers.”
Again I read,
“Let thy face ever wear a smile;
let thine eyes sparkle with gladness;
live near thy Master; live in the su
burbs of the celestial city.”
I laid aside my book with the de
termination to live closer to heaven;
to have the Christ In my heart and
home. A power for good is one
home, or one heart, that Is “redolent
of Paradise.”
—L. B. C.
OPENED HIS EYES.
Two old friends met on the street,
“John, what in the world are you
going to marry a young woman for?”
“O, just to close my eyes when I
die.”
“Well, I married a young one and
I can tell you she has opened mine.”
