Art of Higher Living Key to the Art
of Rejoicing
"Blessed lM, the (wet and Fat li •1' of
our Lord 'cares Christ." --Kph. i. 3.
Tea Now '1•e,tuntt:nl is a remarkable
book because of its jubilunt ,one. From
the beginning to the end the trumpets
are s4uuding all the war'. The hien
who wrote c etelunlly give expression
to exultant and triumphant emotion.
This is the mere renlurkitble because
they were pore and perse.uled and
lintel and ostracised and ani aider
stood. But notwithstanding their lot
wee filled wait hardships and trihuln-
lions. they filled life's music is ith ma-
jor chords. They had inaetertd the
high and diflk•ult feat of always rejoic-
ing.
This is an art which mullitude s of
men now alive have not learned. Many
Ilion are morbid and gloonmy, not a
few gloom and whine. Now and then
we tied a Haan who can do little but
whimper and sniffle. Men who hill
into this .dolorous mood excerse them-
ee1•es by saying that the
Ti\lEe ARE HOPELESSLY RAD
and there is such a nonsthotts oontTi-
Ilon of things that - every hallelujah
has dial out of their hearts.
The apeslles in dark days were able
to rejoice because they did not begin

with they temporal, but with the eter-

of all things. They saw ilim also at
the end. Because they sow the stream
of lime flowing from under the throne
of the Almighty they were not daunt-

of wickedness which float like black
bubbles on illi surface.
There are /non whose eyes 'co no-
thing but the e,nlidneat and vileness

('onlldent that !hero is an eternal
,pit17M)se, the apostles are fully persuad-
ed that It is possible for every nuns
to come into line with this purpose.
A MAN CAN GROW;
he can co-operate with the eternal. Ile

From time to Limo the woman paused
