Excerpt from The Cheerful Heart: Or, "a Silver Lining to Every Cloud"There were, perhaps, twenty cottages in the valley, inhabited by a people who dwelt in love one with another. They had learned to be happy in doing as they would be done by, and in this way their time passed profitably and agreeably to themselves and to those around them. They were not always, however, such a contented community, for the time had been when the cottages, now so smiling and lovely, were neglected, and tall, rank weeds grew where beauteous ¿owers now Oped their petals to the morning sun. But a mighty change fell upon that valley, and where once wildernesses of unsightly shrubs grew, groves of lovely trees Sprang up, whose slender stems bent gracefully towards the sunlight which gave brightness and health to the valley and gentle rivulets watered the roots of those trees as they glided into the river which ¿owed onward to its ocean home. But how was all this brought about? Through the in¿uence of one cheerful, loving heart. This may seem impossible to the reader without faith.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
