The Gospel Of Good Cheer.
The world is very fun of tired, sorry,
suffering people They are iii sore need
If missionaries to preach them the Cos
pe If good cheer We do not require Il
sIecial field or a special commission 10
enter this branch of the work-just the
intelligent determination TO make our
neghbor happy if we may" But truly
lit b.esseth him that gives as much as
him that takes"
Good theory as this is, how does it
work out in practice? Wherever few
human beings gather together i'll any
fixed relation there must be diverse
ideas. wills tuggIng opposite ways, con-
victions that clash. What does loving
YOUR neighbor mean, then? Even Plato
or Aristotle might fight shy Of such Il
question. Yet it is only as we answer
it after our own fashion, however in
completely, that we make very much out
of living as a profession. Olive Schrein-
er has written a dream, with moral to
il, If a man who could not forgive his
enemy and was very sorrowful. An an
gel sent to help him babe him do some
service for his enemy. The man obeyed,
but still he could not forgive. Other
remedies the angel tried, but they all
failed Then the mans eyes were
opened that he might see his enemy's
soul stripped of all accidents of circum
stance and surrounding. Together he
and the angel saw its past, its child
hood. the tiny life with the dew upon it;
they saw its hopes that were
never realized; they saw its hour of
strength when it leaped to its feet cry
ing, j am omnipotent;' they saw what
it might have been but never would be.
and the man said: at is |! 1t is my
self"
Next the angel showed the man the
diyidlty that lay deem i'll his enemy'S
soul, and he whispered ct is God" Then
the angel opened the mans eyes that he
might recognize his enemy. and he
asked Have you forgiven him. But
the man said only: How beautiful my
brother isl! And the angel looked into
the mans eyes, and he shaded his own
face with his wing from the light.
The inference, of course, IS plain. LII
only we could see deep enough, we
should find our most obnoxious neighbor,
congenial, But sometimes in d worka
day world, we and our neighbor look al
things from such different angles that
the constant adjustment necessary to
harmony Is too great a tax on mind and
BRAIN Then the better part of valor is
to part company if we may honorably.
But do not let us blame our neighbor for
the parting Let us admit our antipathy
quite freely as limitation which we
might overcome if we did not need To
divert elsewhere the nervous force it
would require. Sometimes we must
strike our neighbour and strike hard, that
other neighborS may be protected. But
behind this blow there is no private
grudge. Il wuddent give amy man"
says the immortal Mr. UooIey, 9TH right
to lick a child that wanted to lick a
child" AS long as we want to pay our
nelghbor up for a slight or an injury, we
are not loving him as we should, and by
Just 50 much are we hindering our own
Development. Hatred to its highest form
Oh repugnance cramps and retards.
The nearer we can get to the broader
view Of our neighb0r which Olive
Schrelners dream implies, the happier
ana more generous we are. Mrs. Browns
luSSy little personality seems so much
easter to bear if we remember that it is
only husk after all. When something
yves US hint of the great trouble Miss
ferHlns is enduring we become her guar
plan angels instead of her critics. 1t is
only a change of view. When we find
tuat our clerks wife has been at deaths
uoor' we put up much more cheerfully
WIN ms consequent inaccuracies. With
such lessons as these, we find it easier
70 lake many more of the failings of
our IeIiow-creatures on trust and to eX-
cuSe them.
Nowhere does our attitude toward our
neshDor count more for happiness or
uRhapplness than in the home circle, !
Mhere we must put up with people as
olPy are given to us, not as we would
TIssooSe them, and make the best of them.
