Signs of the Times

[From the Signs of the Times, Mountain View, Calif., Oct. 23, 1923]

Persons whose hearts are ever overflowing with praise and thanksgiving disperse good cheer, comfort, and courage wherever they go. They are to the home what sunshine is to the landscape. They chase away the shadows, and make everything look brighter. We enjoy having such persons around; only sometimes a jealous thought suggests itself that they are shallow, happy-go-lucky, and do not sense the serious side of life. Still, they do; yes, they know life has hard experiences, but they also know their God, who has sustained them in trials, made them victorious in conflicts with the enemy, and brought them safely out of furnaces of affliction. So they trust Him; and with hearts full of gratitude, they try continually to praise Him "who hath delivered, who doth deliver, and who will deliver." It is good to praise God. It cheers and strengthens our own hearts as well as the hearts of others. It changes the murmuring stream of life, with pools of bitter waters standing along the edges of the channel, to a pure, sparkling stream, singing songs of praise and thanksgiving all along the way.
