What Will Make You Glad.

When the years have slipped by arU memory runs back over the path you have come, you will be glad you stop ped to speak to every friend you met, and left them all with warmer feel ing in their hearts because you die so.
 And you will be glad that you were happy when doing the small, every day things of life. that you served the best you could in earth s lowly round.
 fou will be glad glad that men have said all along your way: "l know can trust him, he is as true as steel.
 You will be glad there have beer some rainy days in your life. Clouds and storms are not the worst things in life. If there were no storms, the fountains would dry up. the sky would be filled with poisonous vaporS and life would cease.
 You will be glad that you stopped long enough every day to read care fully, and with a prayer in your heart some part of Gods message 10 those He loves
 You will be glad that you shut your ears tight against all the evil things men said about one another, and tried the best you could to stay the words, winged with poison.
 You will be glad that you brought smiles to men, and not sorrow.
 You will be glad that you have met all the hard things which have come to you with hearty handshake, never dodgng one of them. but turning them all to the best possible account.-Ep- worth Herald.
