FRIENDLY COUNSEL
BEAUTIFUL LIFE. How beautiful it is to be alive! To wake each morn as if the Maker’s grace Hid us afresh from nothingness derive, That we might sing, “How happy is our case, How beautiful it is to he alive! ” To read in God’s great book, until we feel Love for the love that gave it ; then to kneel Close unto Him Whose truth our souls will shrive, While every moment’s joy dotli more reveal flow beautiful it is to be alive! # * * * Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and .bones. THOREAU. Life is not so short but that tliero if always time enough for courtesy.
