gospel. 1t Is the doctrine of hope.
Grumbling at everything is un-Chris-

as profanity OF lying.
The Bible says. But let all those
that put their trust in thee rejoice"
There is philosophy for this A per-
son cannot do any good In bad spirit
II one hates q man he cannot reform

does pulls some evil up by the roots.
Good deeds grow by smiles as the
wheat grows by the sunshine. Boost

1t is right to curb the evil If one does
not waste all his strength at it, so that
he will have to sit down and lose heart.
