THE CHEERFUL CHRISTIAN.

It is the duty of every person to be cheerful. A gloomy Christian is a dishonor to the religion he professes. We are none of us alone in the world as regards trouble or sorrow, but each must make the best of things and go forward. A young lawyer who used to be very sensitive, said to us once, “I have ceased to be thin-skinned. It doesn’t produce happiness.” We say then to our readers: Court the sunshine. Make kinship with the flowers as they come. Don’t be wondering what people say about you, but do your duty, and have a kindness in your heart that shows itself in your face.—Selected.
