SUNSHINE.

Did you ever notice what a different aspect everything wears in the sunshine to what it does in the shadow? And did you ever think what an analogy there was between the sunshine of the cloudless skies and the sunshine that gleams into the darkened chambers of the human being? How bright and beautiful are the golden beams that break through the riven clouds to light up the world again after a succession of dark and stormy days! How peaceful and happy are the blessed words of hope and cheer that touch the heart and fill the spirit with emotions of peace and joy after a long period of sorrow! There are none living who do not, in a greater or less degree, have an influence over the earthly happiness of others. The sense of contributing to the pleasure of others augments our own happiness. Unselfishness, Christian charity, and loving kindness are sunbeams of the soul.
