Disappointment sardonically meets He who has whines does himself in jury such as his meanest enemy could not do to him If he would.

They say that one oftthe things you cannot make or alter is environment— that it is fixed. Indexible, and that you are its slave. This Is a pessimis tic lie. To our own moods environment In a looking-glass; it smiles back at us If we smile; If we frown, it frowns. He who thinks the world Is full of good people and kindly blessings la .much richer than ho who thinks the J contrary. Each man's Imagination largely peoples the world for him-self. Some live In a world peopled with princes of tho royal blood; some In a world of paupers and privation. You have your choice. This Is a big, busy world. It cares precious little what you think of It or what faults or troubles you find In It. It is a choice that concerns your self more than all others combined, whether you grouch in the gloom, the companions of hateful goblins, or stride In the sundhlne, seeing smiles and catching shreds of song. Men and women In God's Image were not made as whining, groveling things. They are made to stand erect, mentally as wel as physically; to la bor well and joyously; to take the gifts of Providence, whether they be Joy or sorrow, and bear them cheer fully and with courage; to add ever something to the world's store of happiness, If It be only a smile. Look up! See how flooded with sunshine this beautiful world la when faced W'lth smiling eyes! If you would win anything, do any thing, be anything, don’t whine.
