FINDING CONFINEMENT.

Can a man be content in time of adj
versity?
If so, what will best bring about this
contentment2
I think that may. without egotism,
claim to be among the more active and
busy of public men; also, that in my
somewhat extensive experience it has
been my lot to face and deal with
many difficulties. and adverse circum-
stances. In this extremely practical,
material and tangible war waged by
the Salvation Army against evil in all
its forms, 1 have personally known
scores of men and women who have
endured adversely in its sternest and
fullest phases.
l have, however, found in many lands
and under greatly varying conditions
that
l. Every man who is enabled through
divine power to live day by day I'D to
the standard of his own conscience and
the law OF God, has a never-failing
foundation of peace and happiness
within himself, totally independent of
adversely" or, indeed, any conceiva-
bic circumstances. In fact, the darker
and harder the surroundings of such
man, the more does he appreciate
and enjoy this blessing of the peace of
God. The Salvation Army is full of peo-
| pie to whom this applies. drawn from
all classes of society, and having the
greatest diversity of education, intellec-
tual culture, personal history and in
dividual character and temperament.
2. That the foregoing description APP
plies to all those who will make COM
plete remuneration of sin, accept by
faith a personal interest in the atone
ment for sin made by Jesus Christ on
Calvary, and live in daily and hourly
obedience to the voice of God as heard
| through the Holy Scriptures and
through those who are ''over them in
the Lord''-in short, full salvation.
| There is no need for any human being
to be miserable or disconnected, and
the abandonment of sin and the re-
ception into the soul of the salvation
OF God will invariably lead to the de-
struction Of the root of all misery and
discomfort and the incoming of the
joys of the Lord

the population, where necessity mas al
ways stimulated effort.
Happiness is a plant that thrives best
by not being sought; is not indigenous
to
RICHES OR POVERTY.
1t grows under your feet; it is in the
air; it is developed by a kindly act, by
helping an unfortunate brother out OF
difficulty 1t is not confined to condi-
tons. 1t comes from toll enough TO
give an appetite, healthful sleep, and
mostly from an abnegation of self. 1t
comes from a cheerful spirit, a tempe
rate life, and congenial surroundings.
There is no great trust or monopoly
that can get a corner on it. Happiness
is in the sweet sunshine, the balmy
breeze, the fragant flower, the prattle
of a child, in true friendship, reciprocal
love, appreciation of worthy effort, and
a, self-consciousness that belongs to the
individual. 1t is often the birth in
heritance of the infant. True, l am
poor, but I never feel So" exclaimed a
sweet-faced woman who entertained
me last week in her humble home,
with as much grace and comfort as she
could have done in a palace.
Our wealth is measured by our
wants; our poverty by our meanness
and want of appreciation of the bless
ings around US. The average poor are
probably as happy as the average rich;
the capacity for happiness lying within
themselves, the only difference being
that the happiness in the two cases is
the result of different combination of
circumstances, and is measured by diff
ferent standards.
