Presence of - a Jovial Mas
Like a Medicine
Is
UA merry heart doetb good like
a medicine” says the Proverbs
but there are different degrees of
merriment and different effects
following its exercise - The mao
who keeps a merry heart through
paths of pain and boors of sorrow
and years of care who standing
on the rook of faith gazes ahead
tbrongh storms and sunshine
alike with a ''ebeerfaf counte-
nance’ this one imparts' confi-
dence impresses his own convio
tions sheds comfort on those
aronnd him and hia presence is
“like a medicine" to each as need
him And who is there who
('oesn’t need at some time the
Inspiring brightness of the man
with a merry heartt Of the wo-
man for that matter s Women
can bear up under greater trials
than men can ao I believe the
man with the merry heart is most
apt to be a woman after nil’s said
and done At birth we all bavo
planted within ua the seed of that
which “maketh the heart glad’’
and well cultivated the germ
grows to the life of completeness
wherein is given place this agree-
able ooseession called a “merry
hearth We all ought to have it
in' full bloseom— swaying in every
breath from heaven and shedding
fragrance brightness and joy on
all aronnd — Farm Jonrnad
