The Supreme Optimist

The cowboy went into a restaurant and ordered a beefsteak.

The waiter brought him a rare steak.

Ffe cut into it, and beckoned the vvaiter.

"Partner," he said severely, "I wanted this steak cooked."

"That steak's cooked," replied the waiter.

"Listen, friend," said the cowboy, still more earnestly and severely, "I'VE SEEN COWS GET WELL THAT WAS HURT A HEI-L OF A LOT WORSE THAN THIS ONE."

Dr. W. S. Adams, one of the greatest astronomers in American history, used to say that there are perhaps countless heavenly bodies on which dwell thinking beings. He said that astronomy counts billions and billions of stars in the galaxy to which our sun belongs, many of them a million times as big as our sun, which is a million times as big as this earth; that there are about thirty millions of suns in our "universe" and that there are probably a million such groups. And the wise astronomer did not doubt that there are countless stars in all these that are peopled by thinking beings. I\fakes the world seem mighty small, doesn't it? But it makes God big.

True intelligence is a superior sort of awareness by which one is able to react fully, freely, and completely to all forms of stimuli. It implies the will to know and the desire to initiate, and means toward that end. It is superior to book knowledge and college education, for by original methods of research and industry it gives the world new knowledge. It is the world's greatest asset, as ignorance is its greatest liability. The world puts a big premium on genuine intelligence.
