The joys Of the Christian life are
all the joys that belong to the normal
life of honorable, wholesome people,
with the added joys of a deep spir-
itual peace, a calm confidence in the
future, the enjoyment of the goodly
fellowship of other Christians, and,
most Of all, a mystic unity with Christ
which is very life itself. This is the
joy that has made the martyrs smile
at the prison cell, the flame, the lion
and the Scaffold.
