THE HABIT OF THANKFULNEss

We are creatures OF habit and our
habits express our characters.
Too many people nave formed the
habit Of chronic %grumbling. Nothing
suits them. No matter how beautiful
the weather, they could improve 1t. They
may be enjoying the very best of health
but they will not admit II. They are
eternally predicting disaster. They are
chronic grumblers;
They grumble at board, they grumble
in bed,
From the soles Of their feet to the
crown Of their head.
Such q spirit is a crime in this world
and age. This IN a beautiful world.
This Is the best age Of history. Every
twenty-four hours the sun Is shining
upon q better, brighter, happier earth.
"ws are the heirs Of all the ages in
the foremost files Of times"
We are living, we are dwelling in a
grand and awful time
In an age on ages telling, to be living
10 sablims.
II Ia just a. easy and infinitely better
TO cultivate the cheerful, thankful
spirit. Gratitude should be tho habit
Of every life. To look on the brigh,
side. TO carry sunshine in the heart and
reflect II in speech aud conduct Is "a
sajoy life and mako IL a blessing ID
