Happiness is a Habit Says Physical Culture Expert, Who Sets Out Five Laws on "How to be Happy"
"If Christ were in the world today, he would be fighting in France by the side of the. Allies, Dr. Charles Barker, physical culture expert, said In his talk on "Patriotism and Religion, before four different churches Sunday morning. ' Dr. Barker spoke at St. Pauls Lutheran church, the First English Lutheran church, Reid Memorial Sunday school, and the First Christian church. . "I believe this to be a righteous war," Dr. Barker said. "Christ drove the traitors out of the temple In Jerusalem, and that was war on a small scale. We-are fighting, as he was, in a great cause." Dr. Barker urged upon the salaried people the necessity of subscribing to the Liberty loan issue. The fact that the bond lo which you may subscribe is small, should not prevent you buying it, he pointed out, for if the 15,000,000 salaried people in the United States thought the same way, and refused to buy bonds, the loan would never go ever. A crowd of 500 people heard the address given by Dr Barker at the Reid Memorial church Sunday afternoon. Dr Barker gave what he considers his best address, "The Finest of Fine Arts or How to be Alway3 Happy." Laws for Hapiness. "Everybody can learn the art of being happy at all times, and under all circumstances, said Dr. Barker, "Happiness is dependent on the following five simple mental laws. They are: "Cultivate the habit of always looking on the bright side of every experience that touches your life. Always be cheerful, whatever happens. Happiness is a habit. "Accept cheerfully the place in life in which you find yourself each day. believing that while you are in that place it is the best possible place for you. Happiness is about you if you
will look for it, and stoop to pick It up. - - ' "Throw your whole soul and spirit into your work and do it the very best you know how. The greatest truth In the world is that pronounced by Christ in the Parable of the Talents. It does not make a particle of difference
what your work in the world: is, but
it Hoes -make all the difference now vou do vour work. - v
"Form the habit of doing bits of kindness and courtesies for all people whom you meet. This is based on the wonderful law that the more hap
piness you give away, the more you II eet back. . -
"Adopt and maintain a simple childlike attitude of confidence and trust
God as your father. Speaks to Ministers
Monday morning Dr. Barker spoke to the Ministerial association on the efficiency of the minister. At noon
he gave a talk to the officers and board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. on "The Mistakes of Two Foolish
Men." The speaker told of thg'lives of John Marble of Washington, a member of the Interstate Railroad Commission, and of Governor Hammond of Minnesota, both of whom died in arly middle age because they neglected to
take care of their health. He urged
all business and professional men to adopt a system of regular daily exer
cise as the only method of keeping fit. In the afternoon Dr. Barker talked to women on "Health for Business Women." On Tuesday an address will be giv en at the High school chapel by Dr. Barker on "How to Make the Most Out of . Life." He will speak at noon to the Rotary club on "How to be Old at 40 or Young at 60," and at 7:30 o'clock
in the evening will address a meeting for men and boys over 14 years of
age at the Y. M. C. A. on "Manhood At Its Best."
ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN WAR WORKERS OF WAYNE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
Hoosier Happenings
Governor Goodrich has issued a formal statement suggesting that Hoosier women respond nobly to the registration of women for war purposes. He says "In order that the United States government may know upon whom it may depend and the extent of its resources, should the demands of the war necessitate the further participation of the women of America in the great struggle of the human rights and cizillzation; it has asked each state to register its women population, with a statement of their qualifications and willingness for patriotic service. "In Indiana this task will be undertaken, beginning on the anniversary of the historically significant battle of Lexington April 19th. It is hoped to have the work completed in ten days. "We are trusting that the time will never come when the women will be called upon to bear more than a voluntary burden in their accustomed lines of service, but the government regards it as the part of prudence to be prepared for any emergency and for this reason, it is taking a census of its woman power, as it has taken a census of its man power. "I, therefore suggest in the name of Indiana's proud record in the preparation for and the participation in this world war, that the mothers, wives and sisters of our patriots, who have offered their lives to their country, show a measure of appreciation of the duties devolving upon them "by assisting cheerfully in making this registration a success. Anything short of success would be foreign to the Hoosier spirit and will detract from the sense of security and support from home to which our boys are entitled and which
; they are going to secure. The pa
