A MERRY HEART
Why do you wear -a, harassed and troubled look ? Are you really in trouble, or are you allowing the little worries of Me to grind furrows in your face ? Take a glance at yourself in the mirror and reformthat is, reshape your face into the lines of comfort and good cheer which it ought to wear. Take an honest inventory of your troubles, and decide whether or not they are really worth advertising in your countenance. It may seem a little thing to you whether or not you wear a smiling face, but it is not a little thing. A serene look advises the tired and troubled men and women whom you meet th a t there is peace and joy in at least one heart. And there may be among them some who had begun to doubt if peace or joy existed at all. l A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.'
