The New Happiness.

Have you learned how to be happy when you are sorrowful? Christ can accomplish that paradox for us and In us. It comes with the miracle of Christ’s making himself our actual life. Real sorrows may come Into our Use, heart-breaking sorrows, testings and afflictions of a terribly severe sort; but If we are “letting, go and letting God,” our Lord Jesus will produce in us “the joy of the Lord.” The Scotch are generally counted not very emotional; but It is said of a Scotchman who had found Jesus that he was so happy he could scarcely find words to express himself; he stood up In a testimony meeting and declared, “I’m happier noo, when I’m no happy, than I wis afore when I wls happy.” That tells the whole, blessed, wonderful story. Is it your story?—S. S. Times,
