Christ Within
the Source of Happiness
Glory
ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. 1
Chron. 16:10
Multitudes . . . crave something which
they do not have. They are spending their money for that which is not bread and
their labor for that which satisfieth not. The hungering, thirsting soul will
continue to hunger and thirst as long as it partakes of these unsatisfying
pleasures. O that every such one would listen to the voice of Jesus, "If
any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink." Those who drink of the
living water will thirst no more. . . . Christ, the wellspring of life, is the
fountain of peace and happiness. . . .
Let the youth magnify the name of the
Lord for His great goodness, His loving mercy, His tender compassion. They can
magnify His name by revealing His grace through a well-ordered life and a godly
conversation. And as they do this the disposition is sweetened; irritability
passes away.
That heart is the happiest that has
Christ as an abiding guest. That home is the most blessed where godliness is a
controlling principle. . . . In the workshop where the peace and heavenly
presence of Christ dwells, the workers will be the most trustworthy, the most
faithful, and the most efficient. The fear and love of God are seen.
In this world there is neither comfort
nor happiness without Jesus. Let us acknowledge Him as our Friend and Saviour.
. . . In Him are matchless charms. O may we all so live during this brief
period of probationary time that we shall reign with Him throughout the
ceaseless ages of eternity!

If Christ abides in the heart by faith, .
. . you will be happy, full of praise and joy.
