viii give you two or three good
rules which may help you 10 become
happier than you would be without
knowing them. but rs to being COM
pletely happy. that you can never be
till you get TO heaven. a -
The tiist is, "Try your best TO make
others happy" 81 never was happy"
said certain king. "till | began TO
take pleasure in the welfare Of my
people but ever since then. In the
darkest day, l have had sunshine in
my heart" My second rule Is. "Be
content with little" There arc many
good reasons for this rule. We do
serve but little. we require but little.
and "bettcr is little. with the fear oI
God, than great treasure and trouble
herewith" Two men were deter.
mined to be rich /; but they set abou,
il in different ways for tho one stroye
TO raise up bis means to his desires.
while the other did his best to bring
down his desires TO his means. The
result was, the one who coveted so
much was always repining. while he
who desired but little was always con-
tented. ~. 81
Ny third rule is. "Look on the sun

DEvoTIoS.-No man can complain
that his calling takes him of frorn re-
ligion; his calling itself and his very
worldly employment in honest trades
and Offices is serving of God and
il it be moderately pursued, and ac-
cording TO the rules of christian pru-
dence, will leave void spaces enough
fer prayers and retirements Of more
spiritual religion. God hath given
every man work enough to do. that
there shall be no room for idleness
and yet hath so ordered the world,
that there shall be space for devotion.
He that hath the fewest businesses ol
the world, is called upon to spend
more time in the dressing of his soul,
and he that hath the most affairs. may
so order them, that they shall be a
servicej Of God whilst at certain
periods they are blessed with prayers
and actions Of religion. and ell day
long are hallowed by holy intention
