BLESSINGS OF WORK.

By Stopford A. Brooke

If you would have sunlight in your home, see that you have work in it, that you work yourself, and set others to work. Nothing makes moroseness and heavy-heartedness in a house so fast as idleness. The very children gloom and sulk if they are left with nothing to do. . . . Every day there is the light of something conquered in the eyes of those who work. . . . In such a house, if there be also the good temper of love, sunshine never ceases. For in it the great law of humanity is obeyed, a law which is also God’s law. For what said Christ?—"My Father worketh hitherto and I work." Sunlight comes with work.—Stopford A. Brooke.
