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. —H. 8. MISS MARION BYMMS’ BEAUTIFUL PARTY FOR MISS MAUD HACK. Mrß.
