THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Leann To Laugh. “Wo must learn to laugh at ourselves and our troubles. We must learn to laugh at fate. In tint way we shall cultivate the mastery of tile spirit, and refuse to he crushed by external pressure. We shall draw strength from deep sources in ourselves, the wells of fun and joy 'and laughter which supply much of tho real happiness of life. Those sources are continually being fed by tho absurd, the incongruous, the comic, even the rough and the hal'd in tho world around us; wo need only take a little trouble to cultivate this particular way of looking, at tilings, and then wo shall cease to be crushed by the practical jokes and tricks which Nature is for ever playing on us.”--General Smuts. ,
