HOW TO MEET IT.

How SHALL we live harmoniously with incompatible people, with those that fret us and are naturally disagreeable? A large part of the secret of it consists in just settling down to their peculiarities as one would to the heaviness of lead, expecting nothing else, taking it for granted that they cannot or will not alter, ceasing to make efforts to have them, accepting their ways as their right, and simply studying how to turn the inevitable to some good account as a means of grace, a chance for winning victories and perfecting one's own character. When we once make up our mind to a thing and fully consent to have it so, it is amazing how much blessing we can get out of it, and how much good we can see in it. The sooner we come to the conclusion that we cannot change people much after they are grown up, the better it will be for our peace of mind.—Zion's Herald.
