The Smile Cure.
The learned ‘ medicine men’ - are
advocating the “smile cure” for
every ill that flesh is heir to. It
. is simple and cheap—perhaps this
is the reason why its foremost ad
vocates are wealthy physicians
who have made all the money they
need and do not care whether they
•ver treat another patient; or very
likely they have no idea that peo
ple will be sensible enough, as a
rule, to adopt this new remedy and
let drugs alone. In that case, as
you perceive, our wo’thy doctors
will gam the reputation for disin
terested horn st in advocating this
treatment, while at the same tim<
they will lo=u nothing in the way
>f professional tidbits.
However, kt us give them all
possible credit for advocating the
smile cure - which isn’t at all a
new idea, by-the-way, it simply
breake forth periodically. In or
der to practice it, one has only to
smile, smile, smile, no matter
whether one feels like it or not. If
you have lost your position, smile,
if the baby is cross smile, if you
recieve word that an avalanche of
cousins is coming down ttuon you,
when you have all that yi-u ein
possibly sta/. sup ntider as it is,
,smile. Stand before your mirrow
and “expand’’. (1 tlrnk that is tl e
- youj mouth until your 1
cheeks puff out and your teeth
show broadly: Keep, at it—it ts a
guaranteed cure for gdl physical
and mental ills. So the London
doctors say—soins of them, at
least, and so the docfe/s are begin
ning to say on our side of the big
puddle. Worth trying, isn’t it?

The Failure.
“But to fail!” the girl cried,
passionately. “I could litvestocd
anything else. I was willing to
work—to sacrifice anything. And
then to have it ell end this way!’’
J “You were willing" to do any-
I thing for God except fail?” her
pastoi suggested.
The girl looked startled. “But
God doesn’t want, failures,” she
protested. ‘‘He wants strong,
shining lives. That’s what Chris
lian’s lives 'ought to be—you’ve
preached it again and again.”
“Thirty years aro,” her pastor
answered, “the church to wjiich I
belonged had a young people’s so
ciety. We used to have meetings
just before the Sunday evening
service. For a year or two Hit-so
ciety did good work; then, fori
seme reason, it began to deterior
ate. We still had meetings, but
there was little interest.
“Our pastor fried one plan after
another in vain. Finally, he ask
ed Mattie Craimnll to lead the next
meeting. I happened to be with
her at the time. Mattie was a
dear 'girl-- everybody lovetl her,
but she was painfully shy. She
cbuld never ‘speak’ as most of us
did-- she always read her part; but
the leader must sp a ak, and offer
prayer as well. Mattie turned
absolutely white; then she said, in
a curious voice, T shall fail,—l
J know I shall fail,--but if you
want mo to 1 I’ll do it, even if I
fail.’
“The word spread that Mattie
Crandall was t > lead, and next
Sunday the room was crowded
Everybody was curious to see if
Mattie could do it. It was pitiful
to see her nervousness, bet she got
through it somehow till she had
Legiqi uer prayer; then she broke <
down. As long as l iive 1 ifW-Wi
shall forget the silence that fol |
lowed; it seemed to last moments.]
though I suppose it was only
seconds: then the pastor’s voice j
took up the prayer. After the
meeting, when Mattie with tears
in her eyes, stammered something
about failing, ho cried, ‘Child, you
haven’t failed! God needed you,
you will see.’
“She did see. A new spirit
came into the meetings. One boy
who had been fighting against go
ing into the ministry because he
feared he might not succeed in it,
‘gave up the tight that night. He
saw clearly that he could not
evade it, that what God wanted
was a will so completely surrend
ered that it would be willing even
to fail for H ! m”•
A silence fell upon the room.
Then the pastor ask d, gently,
“Do you see, child?”
And the girl answered, gravely,
“I see now ”

The Ninth Month.
( In the old Roman calendar Sep
tember was reckoned the seventh
I month, its name coming from the
iLatin world “septem” meaning
Iseyen. The Saxons called it
“gerst-monath,” or barley-mouth,
because the crop of barley, ac
counted first among their cereals,
was usually garnered during this
month. In changing from the
seventh to '.he ninth month the
cbroi.ol igisis preserved the origi
nal name, although various Roman
Emperors, following the example
of Augustus, who changed—or in
whos“ honor this was done- Sex
tilins (sixth month of the Roman
yeai) to August, undertook tosub-
stitu.e other ti. Ls. Thus the name
originally’ g’ven holds good today
—an I ’-ve have September.
