FINDING HAPPINESS IN DUTY.
No nation has a finer sense of the meaning of duty than our own, and the soul of Britain lies somewhere near the sense of duty done, and silence \?hen it is done. Duty is but half done when it is dono from compulsion and not from joy. Whore duty is done with a gladsome mind, there it is a .wellspring of lifo and not a hard rule of conduct. No achievement is so exhilarating or so satisfying as that of having done well the thing we ought to have done. To do our duly is one thing; to do it joyfully is another. Duties are stern commands, and we may obey them either from fear or from love. Only when we obey from love do we know tho happiness which comes from obedience.
