Peacemakers

JESSE B. TWISS.

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

Who are the peacemakers? They who make peace. And what is peace? Peace is more than absence of quarrels among human beings. Peace is harmony; a sense of happiness; a measure of love. It is content of health and prosperity undisturbed by sickness, poverty, pain, disaster, sorrow, or fear. It is restful occupation; decisive, persistent progress; calm, contented assurance of an abundance, dominion, resource; it is indeed all that makes and keeps man actively, steadfastly, truly happy. Well may they who make such peace for themselves and others be called the children of God!

Blessed, indeed, is it, when even one individual is brought from helpless weakness, racking pains, or torturing fears into such a glorified sense of "on earth peace," as true peace always is to human experience. And who would not be such a peacemaker? and where can such peace be found?
