C.Class Mail Matter. ■—- I ~ Friday) January a 1907 %/ The Optimist optimist, while he sees much of the evil. sees also much of the good. He sees more of the beauty,' hears more of the mnsic; his mental ! vision is keener, his spiritual insight j deeper his whole view of life is one j of promise. When the problem , j vexationv and temptations come, ! be stands squarely in his path, and j by attitude and expression declare |, bis firm belief in the ultimate goo I He has many experiences, and sometimes he fails; but he stronger in resoluton for having discovered a weakness. There is in bim something that never yields, He looks upon evil asjsotnething to be overcome. He makes effort, in proportion to this does he el-vate himself to a higher plane ot lite. He has a mission in the world and proceeds to do his work. This i> usually done without demonstra tion. His force is like the sublime forces of the universe —silent, but always acting, like the pessimist, his life and thoughts are contagious unlike the pessimist, he is always welcome. If the two conie face tc face, he will never yield to the patter's influence. He knows that eternal truth and goodness art working through him. and hi believes in their ultimate tiiumph. Something For Boys. |Mauy people seem to forget thai character grows; that it is not some thing to put on, ready made with womanhood or manhood; but day by day, here a little and there P little, grows with the growth and strengthens with the strength, un til good or bad, it becomes almost a coat of mail. Look at a man ol business — prompt, reliable, consci entious, yet clearheaded and ener getic. When do you suppos he de veloped all these admirable quali ties? When he was a boy? Let u» see the way in which a boy of ten years gets up in the morning, works plays, studies, and we will tell jou just what kind of a man lie will make. The boy who is late at school stands a poor chance to be a prompt man. The boy who neglects his duties, be they ever so smnl', nnd then excuses himself by saving, "I forgot; I didn't think," will never be a reliable mat). And the boy who finds pleasure in the suff erings of weaker things will ncvet be a noble, generous, kindly man —a gentleman. >-- • " For the benefit of those who abhor printers' ink as prime fat tor to the advancement of their iuterest we should state tlint Samson- the strong party—was the first man to advertise.
