Take your thoughts away frcpi the
swamps of t'enr and evil , center them
. on the ideals of faith and love , on good
intentions for others , and your counte
nance is at once illuminated.
Look in a mirror , and .you sLali see
that my words are true. Absolve your
self of all troubles , be peaceful , be
still , cease all our repining ; then your
countenance will hhine.
That such an instantaneous physical
change can take place by a change of
thought suggests what power there is
in a renewed habit of thought , a habit
created by repeated conscious repose
ful efforts of calm , concentrated think
ing in line with the ideal.
Not only is the countenance changed
by a bright thought , but the whole
body. The atoms are so many vortices
of ether , and the central force of each
is thl wind.
A shining countenance is a smiling
countenance. Look on life rightly , and
you cannot but be pleased. Then you
will smile , you will laugh with joy , be
cause of life's possibilities.
You have perhaps desired to reach
greater heights of power. You will
reach tliem easier if j'ou will bat smile
as you go.
There is every reason why the heart
should be glad , and your love for oth
ers will show this so. This is the suu-
sliine that expresses itself in your
countenance. The mere fact of loving
drives awa } * fear and -darkness. All
false conceptigns of duty , the conclu
sions of a biased reasoning , vanish at
the appearance of love.
Every one loves the sunshiny days ,
and every one loves the man whose
soul or individual sun shines through
his face.
Such a man will be trusted wherever
'he is. He is an interpreter of life ; he
will intuitively grasp the meaning of (
things ; he will be welcomed every
where ; he will recognize all and he will , (
be recognized by all ; he will be re
ceived as the Son of Man , a true exem
plar of his race , a leader in the evolu
tion of humanity ; he will be an encour
agement and an incentive to all.
A shining countenance is first of all
an immediate phenomenon expressive
of the proof of right thinking , and the
same source of this illustration contains -
' tainslie potency of completely chang
ing oli'iraoU'r. body , burroandings , of
fuxi ; : ? -c-in. the P-T.SOJ. the community.
