Copper County (Mich.) News

Frequently a truth may be driven home by clothing it under another name, whereas if left without such garnishments, it would be held in disdain and doors would be barricaded against it. A striking example of this is set forth by an editorial in the magazine Madame for August, in which the lofty optimism to which utterance is given bears a striking resemblance to the doctrine preached by Mrs. Eddy in her Science and Health. Among other things, the editorial says, —

"The way to avoid contagion is to keep the mind pure and sweet, having due regard also for the body. Cultivate optimism and hopefulness and avoid gloomy thoughts and forebodings. Seek the society of those who are buoyant and helpful, and if at any time you are overtaken with the realization that your lot is not what it should be, think of the condition of many who are not so fortunate as yourself and who are suffering from actual want. The woman who would avoid microbes will not fear them. Courage and the consciousness of right living and high thinking are the enemies of disease."
