GOD WILLS IT.

THERE is very common tatalism
in Christendom, which is always
brought to support every kind o.
iniquity, and that is-that God per-
mits it. The argument is that of ar
old reprobate who, being caught in
his hoary age SHINING as hard as
ever, remarks, with the utmost sur
prise, Why, I've always done So
I've been stealing and cheating for
sixty years; and people have been
stealing and cheating ever since the
world began. Why on earth do
you interfere with me? Are you
wiser than God, and hasn't He
always permitted it."
Stated in this way the argument
is ridiculously transparent; bet no
more so than it is in every other.
Brigham Young can quote you the
nations that have encouraged poly
gamy-and God certainly permitted
It, or there would have been no
polygamy. History is full Of lusts,
murders, rapines, and tyranny:
What theni Are these things good
things? Is the fact that a crime has
been committed q reason that it
should continue to be committed?
The great Teacher taught other,
wise. That it was said by them OF
old time was not a reason with him.
He told us that God can in no just
sense be said to have permitted what
is not according to perfect love and
charity. God wills only what is
right. If, therefore, anything II
repudiated by the universal human
instinct, God does not Wilt, though
fits sbe as venerable. UNIVERSAL ane
easy, as lying.
The Democratic press. (Eaton, Preble County, Ohio) 1860-1865, 1861-05-30

remember this, my dear child, un-
less your resolutions are strength
ened by the help of God, you will
not be able to keep them; for, tho
spirit indeed is willing, but the
flesh is weak. Remember, also,
that He graciously promised to help
those who ask Him In faith"
Little brothers can do much to
cheer and comfort the hearts, Of
little sisters, and, there cannot be
a more lovely sight, than to see
q family where a family take q real
interest in each otherswelfars. The
great thing we should aim
at, should be to make others
happy. But to be successful we must
be careful to attend tolittle things;
and we must be careful to do things
cheerfully and in a kind spirit.
Little boys and girls should always
speak kindly and courteously to one
another, kind words, smiling looks,
and nice behavior are very chsEp
things, "Dsar brother James I

The Priest and tho Sheriff

An eccentric English divine was
called upon to perform the funeral
service of a dead debtor. After the
ceremony was performed, and the
body was on its way to the church
yard, the sheriff made a descent on
the corpse, and attached it for debt,
as by the then law of England he
had the power to do.
"Move on" said the priest.
"This body is mine," said the
sheriff.
"This body is Gods" said the
priest.
"In the Kings name, l command
you to lower the cofin," exclaimed
the sheriff.

says three words, take him too.

LEES CHIEF HAPPINESS.

Domestic happiness has intrinsi
worth; it may be realized in pov
erty; it is internal; above the con
troll of circumstances. Such hap
piness is a flower of paradise that
has been suffered to stray beyond itt
walls. and though with us it does
not bloom in original perfection
yet its blossoms, as we may gather
them, are too lovely to leave US in
doubt whether it is worth our cul'
ture. Of all earthly goods, this il
Heavens best gift to man. Whilst
there is no other kind Of joy that
can compensate for its absence II
may alike gild the mud walls OF the
cabin, or shed vitality and warm IN
over the cold state of the palace
There is no condition of life to
which it may not add untold price
Monarchs there have been who have
heard the exulting shout of victory
have Joined it for a moment, then
inly sighed; rsbellious sons were
a thorn IN the heart whose ranking
prick was felt to kill all joy. Mer'
chants may have amassed theil
millions; their names may have
been honored in various parts Of
the globe; but in a moment when
success and security have attended
some favorite scheme OF hazardous
enterprise, in all the bitterness Of
anguish the soul has whispered,
"This is but mockery to him who
would ask it to atone for the alb
sence of domestic love-" Poets
have lived whose brows have beer
wreathed by a fascinated natior
but whose spirits have loathed thu
laurels, for thorns grew at home
But never monarch, merchant, no
poet found domestic bliss ajoy to-
much. He who has once possessed
it would not barter it for all OF
earth besides.
