Called To New York ■'
Mrs. J. E. Turner, of this city,
does it do anyone to brood over
troubles, real, or more often,
fancied troubles, or to regret a
mistake, beyond the point of let
ting it be a lesson to us? Surely
the wisest thing to do is to put
away all the disappointments,
stings, and frets, and with all
our hearts proceed to "make be
lieve” that they do not exist. The
poetic fancy, “Beauty is in the
eyes of the beholder” is true,
meaning that everything is as we
see it, and think of it. The same
thought is expressed a bit differ
ently in, "As a man thlnketh, so
I he is.”
So, in learning to “make be-
lleve” are we not merely learn- and her sister, Mrs
ing to look at things in the right
way, or from the right view
point?
And let us be very sure that as
we learn to turn our backs
steadfastly on all oui;^ worries,
disasters, and disappoirciher.l^
and begin to see that the worli
. . . our world ... is of our own
making, that we are all working
either with the law of good, or
against it, that we are here in
this life, to learn the lessons
that will fit us for taking the
next onward and upward step,
. . . never a backward or down
ward step . . . we keep in mind
