Brighter than the most brilliant Of

does not dazzle 80 much rs It calls
forth Il reflection OF brightness, Is the
shining countcnancc.
The soul OF each man Is n sun OF in
finite energy and glorious light. But
how few allow themselves to shinei
How few faces are lit up with their
possible divine lifel
Take your thoughts away from the
swamps of fear and evil, center them
on the ideals OF faith and love, on good
intentions for others, and your counte-
nance Is ut once Illuminated.
Look I'm n mirror. and you shall see
that my words are true. Absolvc your
self OF all troubles, be peaceful, be
still, cense all your repining; then your
countenance will shine.
That such an instantaneous physical
change can take place by change OF
thought suggests what power there Is
in renewed habit OF thought, habit
created by repeated conscious repose-
full efforts of calm. concentrated think
ing In line with the ideal.
Not only is the countenance changed
by bright thought, but the whole
body. The atoms are so many worthless
of ether, and the central force OF each
Is the mind.
A shining countcnance is n smiling
countenance. Look on life rightly, and
you cannot but be pleased. Then you
Will smile. you will laugh with JOY, be-
cause of life's possibilities.
You have perhaps desired to reach
greater heights of power. You will
reach them easier IL you will but smile
as you go.
There is every reason why the heart
should be glad, and your love for 9TH
ers will show this so. This is the sun
shine that expresses itself in your
countenance. The mere fact of loving
drives away fear and darkness. All
false conceptions OF duty, the conclu-
sions OF n biased reasoning, vanish at
the appearance OF love.
Every one loves the sunshiny days,
and every one loves the man whose
soul or individual sun shines through
his face.
Such n man Will be trusted wherever
he is. He is an interpreter of life; he
will intuitively grasp the meaning of
| things; he will be welcomed every
where; he will recognize all and he will
be recognized by all; he Will be re-
ceived as the Son of Man, true exem-
pIar OF his race. leader in the evolu-
ton of humanity; he will be an encour-
agement and an incentive to all.
A shining countenance Is first OF all
