augh and the world"--you know
it. An ounce of smiles will give you more real life than seven tons
of solemncholy. Cheerfulness and prosperity go hand in hand. Bathe in
mirth. Frolic in some sunshine daily, even if you live in Pittsburgh
and have to make your own sunshine. Make fun, don't always buy it.
You can cure disease and kill the Devil with laughter. Cultivate an
infectious laugh. Mirth makes work easy. Read humor and learn to tell
it. Practice telling a good, funny story. Be a quick wit. There is a
bright side to everything in this world, even to a dark-lantern. The
end of the film is sure to be jolly. Good cheer attracts good luck.
Cheer up. If you haven't a smile get one of somebody and wear it as
your own. "Let thine heart cheer thee." Give it out-let. Go to sleep
with a smile on your face and you will awaken with a joy in your
heart. Let your humor be rich humor. Laughter is the cipher-key to a
man. It is one of the most delightful sounds of earth. Most utterly
lost is the day you laugh not. Mirth clears the mirrors of the mind.
A person who does not laugh is not healthy. "A merry heart doeth good,
like a medicine." To forget your sorrow begin to cultivate joy. Keep
away from sad people, or you will be sad. Stop rehearsing your grief,
you only enlarge it. If you suffer grief, find someone in trouble and
cheer them, encourage them, help them, and you will deliver yourself.
You will comfort yourself when you comfort another. You cannot lose a
loved one, tho absent from the earth plane they are nearer than ever.
Life and love never change. Death is an unreality thought made. Our
friends take on a new embodiment that is glorified in life and spirit.
When you believe you were "created in His image," and "are a partaker
of the divine nature," it is easier to believe, "you shall arise in
His likeness." Some day we shall all believe we have not disfigured,
morally broken natures, but Divine Natures, supreme in limitless
power. Traditions, teachings, education, environment of generations of
thinking have disfigured, morally broken, sin burdened humanity. All
are thought created conditions. Thought made limitations. Thought
made original sins. System cultivated human wrongs. Institutionalized
teachings of error. But you should know the universe is one undivided
Soul. You are a yoke-fellow with God. You are a part of One Complete
Life. You are a lobe of the Infinite Brain. You are a Supreme
Personality of Absolute Person
