normal functions of all of the mental facilities. The Creator never put into His own image that which would impair efficiency, cause distress, or destroy happiness. The exercise of every normal faculty or quality tends to enhance, promote and strengthen the best in, otherwise it would not be normal. We might as well say that discord is a good thing as to say that fear is normal.

As a nation we are too sober, too sad, and take life too seriously. Our theology and our creeds have too much anxiety and fear, too much sadness and seriousness and too little joy and gladness; too much of the shadow and too little of the sunshine of the soul in them; too much of the hereafter and too little of the now and here.

Fear benumbs initiative. It kills confidence and causes indecision, makes us waver, afraid to begin things, suspect and doubt. Fear is a great leak in power. There are plenty of people who waste more than half of their precious energy in useless worry and anxiety.

We can neutralize a fear thought by applying its natural antidote, the courage thought, the assuring, confident, faith thought, just as the chemist destroys the corrosive power of an acid by adding its opposite — an alkali.
