Lightheartedness and true Christian happiness are very different things. A thoughtless man may be lighthearted because he has little sense of responsibility ; but a thoughtful believer who meditates upon the revelation which we have of God in His word cannot fail to be penetrated with the sense of His love, of His grace, of His holiness, of His glory, all of which are in his favor through the cross of Christ. And what depths of genuine, unalloyed happiness will thus fill his soul! P. J. L.
