A Glad Song in Life

By Cumberland Presbyterian

To LIVE each day as tho it were our last — our last to pay the debt we owe; to aid in making the world happier — by blending earth and heaven in His kingdom; to remember that the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy, and a joyful life is an expression of gratitude to God; that there are more mercies than ills, and ills are sometimes blessings in disguise; to help others to live nobly and beautifully, and so to emulate the Master; to be charitable in judgment, and to maintain a chivalrous honor in business relations; to crush out of the heart a tendency to a pharisaic spirit; to be calm in anger, and repress the sarcastic retort, tho it scintillate with brilliancy; to face men with a consciousness of perfect integrity and a heart filled with the love that thinketh no evil; to bear disappointment, weariness, and suffering without murmuring; and to recognize the good that is often the child of sorrow, this will make each day one glad, sweet song.—Cumberland Presbyterian.
