CHEERFULNESS.
An <M &vt a *■ fv common objflc
i ••
youth, to the vigor
.. ,;u • ..teip-il* of caiii hood tint! to in
•irm - sc i'iko. Some admit that
it ha* it* present pleasures and its
promises of future bliss, but deny that
these compensate tor the loss of the
■worldly enjoyments of this life: and
therefore that they are either mis
guided or fanatical who suck the
pleasures of the Spirit and oi faith at
the sacrifice of Ihe pleasures of sense
and of sight. But in nothing of the
spiritual life has the natural mind so
misconceived as in this direction, (1
Cor. 2 : 14; 1 Tim. 4: 8; and Ps. 07:
11.) Cert ain ascetics and some gloomy
pietists have placed restrictions upon
the lawful enjoyments of the world,
until they east a cloud of gloom
around religion instead of using it to
crown them as with a halo of light
and beauty. It is in this way that
many, and otipecmlly those of youth
ful years, huvo been terrified with
religion instead of being attracted
by it.
These self-righteous religionists di
vorce religion from the world and
deprivo her from working out One
groat feature of her mission, which
was not to abolish, but to reform and
sanctify the proper enjoyments of sec
ular life, and thus to make the rela
tions of domestic and social life and
tho operations of literature, science
and art tho friends and aids of relig
ion rathor than her enemies.
Checrfulncii ought not to bo con
founded with mirth, as these men of
immtsw principles do, and who back
thsrr anoetio views with tho observa
tion that Jesus, “tho groat pattern of
perfection, wus never seen to laugh!"
Mirth is the outgnshing of momen
tary and mostly of unlawful joy, and
then may loave the soul to sink into
tho deepest melancholy 1 Cheerful
ness is tho slower but more constant
flowing of a stream supplied by the
equanimity of mind or the conscious
integrity of soul which belong to tho
virtuons and holy. Cheerfulucss is
but another expression for the seren
ity of soul Jesus had and which
breathes from his portrait drawn by
tho Divine Artist within tho gospels,
although there is no record of laughter
connected with it.
Nay, not only is laughter not neces
sary to cheerfulness, but on tho other
hand, this may ho expressed l>y tears.
Have you never heard of one “ weep
ing ibr joy?’ 1 Some thirteen yearn
ago a young man stood in the pulpit
InowocoUpy: ho was preaching his
“trial sermon’’ before tho Presbytery
of Baltimore. There was nothing
pathetic in tho discourse by which to
move the audience to tears, and the
grave Presbyters sat there calmly
judging whether or not he were quali
fied to preach tho Word of Cod. But
there was one man there, amidst tho
congregation, and ho a ruling elder,
who was powerfully overwhelmed by
tho service, lie was tho venerable
father of the candidate in tho pulpit.
1 saw him wiping away tear aftar
tear as they trickled down his cheeks'!
Why did ho weep? Not because,like
many a heart-broken parent, ho had
to mourn over a son, besotted, de
bauched, ruined, disgracing tho pa
rental name, and cursing tho mother
that bore him, and bringing tho fa
ther's grey hairs with sorrow to tho
gravel No, ho wept for joy! Ho
wept under tho overwhelming fact
that there was the baht ho had conse
crated to God in infancy : the child
trained by an anxious mother in the
nurture and admonition of tho Lord:
tho boy of many fears and hopes: the
only son tor whom he hail toiled ; tho
youth of a thousand temptations and of
ns many prayers: now a young man of
noble form, of cultivated intellect, of a
sanctified heart, and withal, commis
sioned of the court of heaven to preach
the blessed gospel of Jesus Christ! It
was for this consummation of his high
est earthly hopes that ho wept I
What father, what mother, who ever
hoard the most powerful notes of elo
quence lYom the lips of a darling son,
standing within the Senate Chamber,
or heaitl tho acclamations of praise
greeting a son ns he returned from
the tented field, the nation’s conquer
or, what such parent ever enjoyed the
pure gladness of that parent within
that temple of God!
But alas, every joy connected with
our poor frail humanity must fail us,
however pure that joy may he: but a
few months of a most promising min
istry passed and the young preacher
dieill Yet that light went not out, it
only faded away into that Greater
Light—the Sun of Righteousness!
Here is tho only unfailing source of
true enjoyment, and it is peculiarly
the portion of tho righteous: it is
unlimited and inexhaustible, for it
springs from the eternal purpose of
God in Christ, and it flows on paral
lel with an endless ftiture! It was
opened in the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world, and it springe
up into everlasting life! Hence it is
the duty as well as the privilege of the
Christion to be joyful abort the world
ling; he has received unspeakably
more, and therefore ought to be un
eeasingly thanklhl. “Rejoice always;
and again, I say, rejoice. 1 ’
