pursue. Worry will not remove its cause.
Repining and discomfort will not take
away the evil: but resignation and cheer
full fortitude will lessen the load. what
ever the burden may be, and will give
strength to bear the burden, if not to cast
it aside altogether.
LAS nothing weakens one like worry, so
nothing strengthens one like contentment

The Great Gain.


If you cannot change it, God can. A
leopard may not change his spots, but
God could do even that; yet disposition
is not leopard. 1t is not something
indelibly stamped as birth mark. Who,
by taking thought. may not improve his
disposition of mind and heart?
The kind of dispositions men have are
the results of cultivation. 1t would be
useless for God to tell us that "Godli-
ness with contentment is great gain" II
no one could attain contentment except
those naturally born with a contented
disposition
The Scriptures would not lay such
stress on the fatal nature of discomfort
and worry if there was no remedy for
it. Every one knows that worrying over
the real or the fancied ills of life Is un-
profitable
No one really believes that complaining
and murmuring are helpful. yet worry
and discomfort is the burden of so many
lives. Gods people are not free from
this unhappy disposition.

Folly of Discomfort.

How unwise it is in men spending their
days and their strength in Worrying over
the ills of life, instead of rejoicing over
the blessings SO abundantly bestowed
The right way is to shut out of the mind
as quickly as possible the things that veX
and worry and to count up daily and
closely treasure the. things that are pleas
ant This course awakens gratitude which
is so glorious virtue that it's presence in
the heart produces more than anything
else, contentment and happiness In the
life.
The happy and centented heart is the
heart that is attuned for praise
Discomfort has no voice for songs of
Thanksgiving.
Sour discomfort that quarrels with our fate,
May give fresh smart; but not the old abate;
The uneasy passions disngenuous wit.
The i'll reveals but hides the benefit.
