Happiness and Mercy.
Happy is the man who sees his own
faults. Is conscious of his own infirmity
and secret sins. Such man has little
place for harsh, bitter or censorious
judgments of other men. Possessing a
merciful disposition, we share one of
Gods attributes and so become more
like him. Whatever mercy we show to
another God will take care to show the
same to us.-Rev. William j. Russell,
Christian Church. Pittsburg.
Simplicity.
Simplicity is not synonymous with
either worthlessness or imbecility in
kind or matter. The simple and com
monplace carpenter shop at Nazareth
became the dwelling place of God, and
the most commonplace sermon in life
may be fit for the indwelling of the
Holy Spirit. 1t is not wise to turn away
from either contention to say, 1T is too
commonplace. REV. NJ. e. Harlan,
Church of the Disciples, Brooklyn.
True Happiness.
True happiness is not far from ever
one Of us. God means to have US hap
py. There are three things that satisfy
md give joy. First, life in full stream.
The moments of deepest and fullest life
ire the moments of greatest happiness
md most eXuberant JOY. Secondly,
growth. The sense of the increase of
ife or mental or spiritual power brings
,eace and eXaltation. Thirdly, faith.
Uncertainty brings fear and torment
