Sunshine.

Did you ever notice what a different aspect everything wears in the sunshine from what it does in the shadow? And did you ever think what an analogy there is between the sunlight of the cloudless skies, and the sunshine that gleams into the darkened chambers of the human soul? How bright and beautiful are the golden beams that break the riven clouds to lighten up the world again after a succession of dark and stormy days. How happy and peaceful are the blissful words of hope and cheer that touch the heart and fill the soul 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 happiness of others augments our own happiness. Unselfishness, Christian charity, and loving-kindness, are sunbeams of the soul.—Selected.
