Another reason why we should culture this
spirit Of cheerfulness is the fact that God
knows what is best for his creatures. You
know what is best for your child He thinks
you are not as liberal with him as you ought
to be. He criticises your discipline. but you
look over the whole field, and you, loving
that child, do what in your deliberate judg-
rnent is best for him Now, God is the best
| OF fathers. Sometimes his children think
that he is bard on them, and that ne is not as
liberal with them az be might be. But chill
dren do not know as much as q father. /

tation. II your path had been smooth, you
would have depended upon your own
surefootedness; bat God roughened that
path, SO you have TO take hold of
his hand. If the weather had been
mild, you would have loitered along the
water courses, but at the first howl Of the
storm you quickened your pace heavenwartl
and wrapped around you the warm robe Of o
Saviour's righteousness. 'What have
