A DAILY MESSAGE
DON’T BE DISCOURAGED! A max is old who Ims lost his enthusiasm, he he twenty or ninety—just as old as li is dead hopes. But the man who retains his enthusiasm is young, even though his years nlimber a century—as young as his living hopes. Enthusiasm is the antidote to discouragement, and discouragement is
the real measure of age. The enthusiastic man believes in life —love—friends—and in great causes. The discouraged man has lost faith itall of them.
The enthusiastic man believes ?n himself: the discouraged man has lost faith in himself. It is estimated that every three minutes, somewhere in the world, a discouraged brother jumps olf tin* deep end into the darkness beyond. 'flic coroner’s verdict should lie: “Suicide, caused by discouragement.” Hang on to your enthusiasm ; kgep hold of your faith ; believe in people and things; light for principles and
causes—and keep young. No matter what life may bring you. don’t bo discouraged— that is the deadliest disease with which you can he afflicted, for it destroys your body, mind, will, heart, and soul—and sends more men off the deep end than anything else in life.
