The Path of Peace: Or a Practical Guide to Duty and Happiness

Excerpt from The Path of Peace: Or a Practical Guide to Duty and Happiness

Can that person be a christian, who is so unamiable in character, that his companionship is undesirable? Is devotional feeling acceptable to God, when unaccompanied by the graces of a generous and a lovely spirit? And yet how many christians are there, who are any thing but agreeable companions or desirable friends!

"Mother," said a little boy, "I do not wish to go to Heaven."

"And why not my son?"

"Why Grandfather will be there, will he not?"

"Yes, my son, I hope he will."

"Well, as soon as he sees us, he will come scolding along, and say, 'Whew, whew, whew, what are these boys here for.' I am sure I do not wish to go to Heaven, if Grandfather is to be there."
