We are no advocate of a long
faced religion, or hypocritical
sanctity that leaves in the heart
no brightness. and ip the soul,
no joy. but we do believe in
-dignified common sense, and
that refinement OF moral nature
that dictates reverence for
things sacred and love for what
soever things are true, pure and
of good report. The true Chris
tian, above all others. has a
right to be happy. and should
manifest spirit of cheerful
ness under all the circumstance
of life. A lack of it usually is
good symptom of spiritual dis
order.
