TRUE CHEERFULNESs

Along with humility we should cult
vate cheerfulness. Humility has no con-
nexion with pensive melancholy or timer
Gus detection. While the truly humble
guard against the distraction of all violent
passions and inordinate cares, they cher
ish cheerful disposition of mind. There
cannot, indeed, be genuine cheerfuIness
without the appreciation of our own heart.
While, however. we pay a sacred regard
TO conscience, il must be enlightened and
directed by reason and revelation. And
happy are the individuals who can say,
" our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our
conscience, that, in simplicity and godly
sincerity, we have had our conversation in
the world" An approving mind will con-
tribute greatly to cheerfuIness, and that e.
quanimity which results from it, from trus,
in God, and from the hope Of blessed
immortality, is equally remote from sour
dissatisfaction, responding melancholy, &
frivolous hilarity. II smooths our path
and sweetens our cup, rendering duty easy
and afliction light.
