Cheerfulness, says the Northwestern Christian Advocate, can become hab- it, and habits sometimes help us over hard places. A cheerful heart seeth cheerful things.

"No, thank you" the lady re- piled, prefer to smell the pine boards And she was right. If she. or we can carry this principle through our entire living, We shall have the cheerful heart, the cheerful voice, and, cheerful face.

To Encourage Sacred Art.

Some time ago the pope offered a prize of f400 for a well painted picture of the Holy Family. Consequently a large number of Italian painters who exhibited at the Exhibition of Sacred Arts, at Turin, chose this subject for their pictures, but none was judged to be good enough to deserve the prize. The pope has, therefore, decided to re- open the competition and to make it international.
