For in (lie sympuny of life much gold without cheerfulness is as sounding brass and clanging cymbal. Religion Avithoiil cheerfulness is a mockery. Success in the cure ot most maladies depends upon faith and hope and cheerfulness. The optimist is cheerfulness personified ; the pessimist a Avalking grouch. The eheerfiiloplimist makes the progress of humanity ; the gruAving pessimist would turn hack the wheels of time. Abas Avith pessimism ! Let eheerf illness x'eign supreme ! —Emory Lanphear, M.D.
