able and stirring up strife.
The good natured person-and vet
good nature is hardly the term we want
to use-is strong because OF the uncon-
scious sympathy he displays Even the
surly and disagreeable in such presence
brightens up and becomes less offensive,
while it is restful to the tired, simply
to bask in the sunshine of such sunny
presence. The majority who are quiet
and take little active part are made
more enthusiastic and willing through
the sympathy that is shown.
AS a single ray of sunshine can dispel
the darkness OF a gloomy cellar so even
one person whose disposition is bright
and cheerful can tighten up a meeting
and make things 90 smoothly. And yet
all can have much of this pleasant and
loving favor if they will only seek it.
Give to the world the best you have
and the best will come back to you" If
we cultivate the spirit Of helpfulness we
will soon find that this spirit extends
to those with whom we come in contact
and they will help us.
When men most despair then God
works miracles.-St Chrysostom.
