Every time I see a good comedy picture, I feel like saying, "God bless the man who makes us laugh." Was it not Chamfort who said, "The most completely lost of all days is the one in which we have not laughed"? I believe that every time a man smiles he not only helps himself to live longer and better, but that he also helps others. The world has a habit of looking lightly on the funny men, and of underrating their importance; but the longer I live, and see the sorrow and suffering all about me, the more I feel like reiterating, "God bless the man who makes us laugh."
When Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Sutro celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary recently, they gave one of the most unique entertainments that has ever been given. For weeks previous they had been making preparations, and when the guests were informed that they were to be treated to a Motion Picture show, everybody was surprised, and some were disappointed. But when the picture was shown, and it became plain that the bride and groom had carefully rehearsed their courtship, their wedding, their honeymoon, and the main incidents of their happy after-life, before a Motion Picture camera, so that the pictures were almost exactly like the real scenes they represented, each guest was amazed and charmed at the wonderful ingenuity of their host and hostess. There seems to be no end of the possibilities of the Motion Picture.
Let not your judgment give way to your inclination. Remember that your opinions are formed by your interest.
According to Punshon, Cowardice asks, Is it safe? Expediency asks. Is it politic? Vanity asks. Is it popular? Conscience asks, Is it right? But since we are all controlled more or less by Cowardice, Expediency. Vanity and Conscience, we usually ask, Is it safe, is it expedient, is it politic, and is it right? Discretion is always the better part of valor, and conscience does not always make cowards of us all. If a thing is not expedient, or safe, it is not usually right. If it is popular, it is usually wrong, but self-interest is always king.

It is strange what strong effect anger has upon our disposition and upon our countenance, and it is stranger how little we can really accomplish by its use. Wrinkles are but fret-work upon the face, and anger is a file that grinds off the joys of repose. Reprove me angrily and I obey reluctantly, if at all; reprove me kindly, and I am doubly indebted.
