Well 1 believe I will take 'Cheerfulness'
as subject this morning. Cheerfulness is
a spring Of power and Of pleasure to our
mental, our moral and our physical natures.
1t makes the mind clear gives tone TO
thought and adds grace and beauty to the
countenance. The heart would be cold ana
desolate were it not warmed by the genial
sunny rays of cheerfulness. 1t throws
charm over all the acts of life, and is the
companion of hope, and is the
companion of hope, spreading It's genial
rays over the heart amid the trials and
difficulties of the world.
The only necessary requisites for cheer.
full disposition are such as every person OF
common intelligence can acquire. To pc
strictly honest in all our dealings, and be-
nevolent IN all orr intentions; to live between
the extremes of labor and repose, II pos
sible, and partake but moderately OF the
innocent pleasures within our circle; to love
and practice truth and honor; to cherish
kindness and affection for oil our fellow
creatures and to love God with our whole
heart are plain precepts of reason, simple
to comprehend and easy to adopt. Cheerful
less, like most other talents and merits Is,
to n great extent the subject Of voluntary
culture: and the preservation and develop
ment of 1t should be looked upon as duty
which we owe alike to ourselves and society:
Then, friends, let us be very cheerful and
kind to those we meet, and also when visit
