BE content with such things ye have"
| To be content is 70 be in good hurnor with
our circumstances, not picking a quarrel
with our obscurity, or our poverty, or our
social position There are four or five grand
reasons why we should be content with such
things as We have.
The first reason that I mention as leading

Is Indispensable in life. We make q great
ado about our hardssips, but how little We
talk Of our blessings. Health and body.
