And so, therefore, if anyone is to defend the Carlyon bill it should the bill—and be the cement trust, for the charge against it has not been squarely met and refuted yet— is that it imposes an unnecessary cost of $11,000,000.

FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1920, Not the Secret of Happiness; nor the Con- dition of Happiness, nor the Way to Happi- ness, but the Practice of Happiness. For it is nine-tenths Practice. Happiness is not something which, omething the capacity for which, may be born in one and not in another. as brown eyes or red hair or a bad liver. Anybody can have it. It is not a gift from heaven to be handed down to us if we pray for it according to certain rules. Prayer does not always bring it. It is not dependent upon having a sunny disposition, or being fat or lazy, or master- ing somebody’s pet religion or philosophy. It is not a Science. It is an Art. A science is something you can learn from a book or a teacher. It consists in a certain number of facts. As Botany, Psychology, or Anatomy. An Art, however, is something you karn only by Practice. Yow learn it by doing it. Painting is an art, as is Piano Playing and Sewing. And Happiness is like that. Also Living. Abraham Lincoln, who was a good deal of a philosopher, expressed it: “I have noticed that folks are generally about as happy as they have made up their mind o be.” But how Practice it? | First of all, your ability to Practice it lies jin your power of Attention. You can take f | your mind off any subject and put it u 4 | another. You are master of your thoughts.

And if so, think it thru, find out what you ought to do, and do it. But if not, if thinking on the thing leads to no helpful conclusion, and merely hurts and weakens you, then think on some- thing else, But—"I can’t!” Of course you can’t. Not at first. takes Practice. That is precisely my You get the strength to do it by patien' current application. Some of us are like the man who was asked if he could play the violin, and replied “I don’t know. I never tried.” You have no right to say you master your thoughts until you have 736 times. And then you won't say it. Think (1) of the physical pleasures, eat ing, drinking, bed—be a good healthy ani- mal. Get your mind away from disease— this is the good thing in Christian Science. (2) Have mental resources. Read. Direct your mind to the pleasing thoughts books bring. (3) Have spiritual resources, Think of “God and His Fatherhood and Goodness. Reject all ideas of God’s vengeance and wrath, Think of Love, of good men and women, of happy events. Two armies contend for you, Joys and Glooms; ®ncourage the Joy brigade; fight the Glooms.
