"Rejoice evermore; pray without
ceasing." Pray in your family-visit
the sick-feed the poor. The Scrip
lures don't say be "happy" all the
time. Happiness and happening are
derived from the same Latin word,
which means "forfWtous." But
Christian may rejoice that ever his
temporal fortune and surroundings,
for religion triumphs at all times and
under all circumstances.
Joy is trinity in unity; 1t means
to be satisfied with the past, con-
tented with the present, hopeful for
the future. Christ forgives past
sins, and does more, lie "blots them
out from the book of his remem-
brance." Until met the best man

youthful sins, and tell how bad he

embraced him weeping and asked
"Why do you say such things my
son; you must be mistaken | don't
remember that you ever did wrong
in your liie." Such was good
mothers "blotting out remembrance" "
She had absolutely forgotten every
thing bad lie had ever done. So it is
with a forgiving and forgetting Sa-
vior!

What dishonest man needed was

mouth and rub it down his throat
with your hand-he'd kick and pro-
