Be HAPPY.

All people LndT on earLH 40 u"SAAs
Sing to the Lord with cheerful
voice;
Him serve with mirth; His praise
forth tell,
Come We before Him and rejoice"
These are apt thoughts for any sea-
son. Be happy; 1t is not only your
privilege, but your, duty. God Wills it.
God has wrought to that end, and
bids you so work also. Make not only
the most but the best of life. Be true
to the kindred points Of heaven and
home" Let there be gfadness under
the family roof tree. Let old and
young rejoice together. Nor will the
Joy be less sweet and deep because it
ia sanctioned and sanctifed by the
Heavenly Father.
And let it be we'll remembered that
no byway Of selfishness leads to self
ishness. Over the road Of love and
self-sacriflce and devout endeavor for
the good and happiness Of others, and
only that way, lies the deep, safe ha-
ven of an untroubled peace. A man,
saith Scripture, must give an account
for every idle word; that is, for words
that spring from a spirit of irrever-

word Swallowed and sharpened by a
spirit of bitterness, selfshness and
gloom!-F. y. McCook.
