MAKE TODAY
HAPPY
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

One of your greatest desires is
that each day of your life might
be a happy one. But just how to
make it a happy one is an art
which few have mastered.
Yet a real advance in this direc-
tion can be made by trying, at the
very beginning of the day, to make
the right start. There is only one
right way to start any day; and
that is to start it with Cod
No better beginning of any day
can be made than to begin it with
prayer. Let the first companion of
the day be the Divine One
A few moments in the early
hours of the morning spent in
reading some portion of the Scrip
lures, or even a paragraph or two
from some book of devotional
reading will place in your mind an
enriching thought that will bright
en- the whole day. 1t will give
your spirit the blessing of Divine
Wisdom, enabling you to enter
wisely into the unfolding hours of
the day and bringing into every
hour a touch of gladness and
cheer.
On the other hand a deliberate
effort must be made to avoid all
through the day those thoughts,
conversations, arguments and sit
uations that are negative in quail
ity, that express doubt, fear, or
hostility. Disagreements and
quarrels are to be avoided and all
expression of evil must be elimin-
ated.
To make any day happy, you
must not be thinking Of yourself
alone, but more particularly about
making some one else happy. The
bestowing of some word of praise,
the giving of small gifts, the shar-
ing of some enjoyment will help in
carrying the brightness and joy of
the morning hours into the even
tide

cally combined to produce what
highway engineers call a "sta-
bilized' mixture. After these
natural materials were properly
mixed, spread over the roadway
and packed down by rolling, an
application of calcium chloride
was spread over the surface. The
function of this material, which
dissolves and penetrates into the
soil mixture, is to provide long
lasting films of moisture that
hold the soils tightly together
and prevent dust. Once or twice
year, depending upon the
amount of dry weather expert
enced, additional treatments
with calcium chloride will be
made to restore the needed
moisture.
Some authorities believe that
the route of. the Natchez Trace
was used by DeSoto who dis
covered the Mississippi River in
1912. Four centuries later-in
1942-modern tourist-explorers
will be able to traverse the same
route for at least much of its
length, If the reconstruction
work progresses at the scheduled
pace.
