beware OF men VINO do not laugh,
for whilst "a man may smile and
smile and be a william" no man who
habitually trowns and fuses can be
either kind of heart or personally
honest.
It is literally true, if you laugh
the world will laugh with you;
weep, and you weep alone. You will
find a multitude of happy men and
women of refinement and goodness
of heart, sweetness and light, eager
to drink your wine; but if you are
weeping they pass you by.
If good fortune has come to you,
in wealth or joyous health, you are
greeted gladly as you PASS along the
public way; but if you complain of
want OF pain, you shall be stunned
as a pestilence, save only by one or
two-if you have one such, you are
fortunate; if two, you are blessed.
Whosoever complains or wines,
he is hidden TO 60 tell his troubles to
1he police.
And, after all, maybe in these
common facts lies the true philoso-
ply for some good measure Of COM
fort in the world.
But there is this all-embracing
truth, beloved: No power, human
or divine, has given any man or

ly wound another or bring dlocom-
fort into any life. Grief IS reserved
for every one who heedlessly Or
without kindly consideration causes
any heart to ache, any human spirit
to grow sad.
"And 'tWere as easy for you to
laugh ana leap, and say you-a are
merry because you are not sad," be-
loved.
ii is easy to assume the virtue, if
We have it not, of kindness and mer-
riment and laughter; and such as are
of vinegar aspect we may pass by on
the other side Of the way.
To most of US it is given to re-
joice, to be glad, to be merry; for
there is something in every life to
make it worth the living; and if life
be worth living it is worth enjoying,
worth loving, worth worthiness. But
whether in our selfishness we feel
that life brings us not our share of
good things, it is Gods, and He
marks its sorrows and its joys alike,
knowing full we'll its worthiness and
un%worthiness. Life is ours to live
and to enjoy as best we may, and
any other use we may make of it is
in defiance of His memorable law. II
is ours to live and love and pray.
And,
