PAGE TWO THE LY, Lv-iTFO. J, N. C., 1. DAY, 1,0 11, 1 llGdlh cad Deojty By Dr. Stopbto Branaoa Ai i Man Thinketh Why are we so often troubled about thing3 that never can happen? We fear a thousand things that have no reality, except in our imaginations. Unhappy thoughts really operate upon our minds until they make us physi cally and mentally sick. We know, that there are millions of disease germs everywhere that are ready to pounce on material that in vites them and really produce illness. Some people have dwelt so constantly on the subject of germs and their dan gers that they become unbalanced mentally. I knew a school teacher who did this. She had put so many disinfectants on her hair to destroy imaginary germs that her hair pre sented a most peculiar appearance ranging from grey to various shades of red. A happy mood of health is very dis couraging to disease. Some people worry about the most preposterous things that they fear might happen to them. It keeps them miserable and invites sickness. Obscure literature is being poured out like a flood tide and people are degrading and injuring themselves by reading it or by witnessing low plays A woman once said to me, "why, yes, 1 read that book. It was so bad that 1 had to put it down for a while be fore I could continue it." "Why do you make a sewer of filth of your mind?" I asked, disgustedly. The fact that "Tobacco Road" ran so long in New York is very uncom plimentary to the tastes of the theater goers in that great city. People who enjoy filthy books, jokes and plays have their counterparts in the buz zards that gorge themselves on car rion. The latter do serve a useful purpose, for they feed on rotting flesh and thus clean the atmosphere of its stench. There are many beautiful and in spiring things to uplift and give us happiness, that it is a shame for any one to turn to the ugly and the evil for entertainment. There are lovely books today that do not fill our minds witn fear, pessimism and despair. It is refreshing to read them. They give us thoughts that operate to bring us health and happiness. Books that constantly depict crime and evil and endeavor to destroy our Faith in God should be shunned like a plague. They bring us fear and di sease. Such books crumble character. The multiplicity of crime stories that are doing irreparable injury to the youth of our land. The responsible citizens should arouse themselves and TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON, N. C.
