'MEWS OF SOCIETY
PESSIMISM.
This old world is a gloomy place;
there are days when smoky clouds
and drizzling rains blot out the sun
beams and naught but miserable
forebodings fill one’s heart. We see
some poor fellow staggering ’neath a
burden of temptations and trials, hear
the wail of some hungry oprhan or
the despairing plaiint of some widow,
and immediately feel that the world
is going to the “demnition bow wows, - ’
and that God sits not on His throne
In the heavens.
Because of change in the price of
some commodity, the change in one's
good fortune, the plasting of some sel
fish ambition, a disappointment In
one’s hopes, there is naught in the
future but the bitter waters of fail
ure; there is inspired the doctrine of
“total depravity," and no salvation
for a sin-cursed world.
And there we have the picture of a
pessimist. He sees naught but clouds,
hears nothing but the cries of misery,
and then without desire to help.
A pessimist, in the final analysis,
will come to be an atheist; will come
to be without faith in the- God of his
fathers; in his ears the warbled notes
of song-bird’s music will vibrate no
responsive cholrd; in his heart the
wail of suffring infancy will stir no
sympathy.
Pessimish shrivels the soul and nar
rows the love we are commanded for
our neighbors. It is a cruse to the
world greater than deceit and more
damning than drink. Pessimism is the
father of deceit, of misery, of unhap
piness; and its sign board points the
way to failure In the dearest, and
most valuable of life’s treasures and
privileges,—happiness.
Pessimism cries from its self-ex
alted throne. "Spare the rod and ruin
the child," without once giving heel
to the warning: "A kind word turneth
aside wrath."
Pessimism breeds the damnation of
greed und selfishness and withhold*
the loaf from starving lips.
Oh, for Optimists! Optimists la
principle, in faith and In works! Op
j’tlmlsts, who can see through the dark
, eat of clouds the blessed rays of sun
beams; can hear despite the thunder
ing of tornado and the wold scream
ing of storming wind and 'tossing ol
boisterous wave, the voice of God
saying: "It Is I. be not afraid.”
Oh. for Optimists! who, though the
future looks black and dreary, and Its
curtain blinds the vision, can with
inspiring hope and faith go forward
with a brisk, unfaltering step, car*
r ing tun-sU tic and Joy, and laugh
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
A Great Sale of Surplus Stocks
An immense lot of good things for this week-—values are better than ever before known. Goods from
manufacturers, jobbers, importers. They all come to us considerably below regular prices on account of the
serious trade conditions. They will be passed along to you in the same way—at prices decidedly lower than
would be possible if secured in the regular way.
ter, instead of darkness, moans and
tears.
It is one’s duty to be optimistic.
Almighty God laid such obligation on
us when He commanded that we love
neighbor as self.
Oh, if we had more true-blue, gen
uine, sincere optimists tn the world,
there would not now be writing on
the pages of our world-history' the
horrible records of murder, tragedy,
misery, by our brethren of Europe.
God! give us optimists, and pity
the pessimist.
