Dare to BE Hannv.

Let us never be afraid of innocent
Joy; God is good and what he does lie
well done; resign yourself to every
thing, even to happiness; ask for the
spirit of sacrifice, of detachment, of re-
nunciation, and above all, for the spirit
of joy and gratitude, that genuine and
religious optimism which sees in God
a Father, and asks no pardon for his
benefits. We must dare to be happy
and dare to confess it, regarding our
selves always as the repositories, not
as the authors Of our own Joy
Amiel.
