Show Good Humor and Joyous Laughter as One of the Articles of a Creed By REV. CHARLES FRANCIS POTTER, Detroit It is high time we abandoned the religion of fear. The New Thought cults have much to teach the churches in the matter of affirmative re-' re-' ligion. Laughter is conducive to health. A hearty laugh will cure a cold. Laughing heartily and frequently will get a person in the habit of breathing breath-ing correctly, and correct breathing is the first lesson in health. Sometimes Some-times a person can get more good out of a stage comedy than out of a doleful sermon by a long-faced parson. Laughing should be a part of religion. When I marry a couple with a sense of humor, I know that they are likely to weather the storms of matrimony. If I had a creed one of its articles would be, "I believe h) salvation by good humor and joyous laughter." |
