Contagious Cheerfulness

How much easier it is to work briskly when whistling a merry tune! How our steps and our every movement will keep pace to an inspiring song! But deeper than this lies the emotional, if one might so call it, the spiritual effect—the toning of one's spirits, the raising of the drooping head, the invigorating of the flagging activity, when a noble song bursts upon the ear, or when a gentle, soothing refrain steals into the consciousness. Religion has stirred all the best that is within human nature by song. Helpfulness to self and to others, then, indorses the exhortation, “Sing on!”—Selected.
