The Present Depression

A Brighter Outlook Needed Wwayr is it that in all our business activities we cannot cultivate a cheerful tone instead of a pessimistic one? Christian Scientists have certainly proved there is everything in the Right Thought. Then, why make matters worse at the present time by talking about slumps and depression? People do not hesitate to spend money on picture theatres, for they . are crowded nightly, and they are certaigs a luxury at their present prices. Evefyone seems to be sending mental wireless messages that they "‘must not spend money"-"all this unemploy-ment"’-"‘it will be worse this year’"the lowest price wool has brought for thirty years." Why create the thought of depression? Bverything has a tendency to adjust itself, therefore what one loses on the swings one gets back on the roundabouts. -New Zealand has had such exceptionally prosperous. years that now because things are below par everybody cries out and makes a fuss. There are many people:in New Zealand who have steady incomes, either private or business. Then why make those people. frightened to spend by all this poverty talk? If this depressing talk ceased, people who have regular incomes would spend, and. gradually adjustments would be made. Think » prosperity-practise prosperity-act / prosperity, and the result will be ! prosperity.
