'''Back to [[THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR]]'''
----
<p>
    <strong>Happiness </strong>is not dependent on place, or locality, or <br />
    social position—but on the state of the heart and its <br />
    relation to God. <br />
    <br />
    As the bleakest field is ennobled by the sunshine, so, <br />
    in spite even of hampered circumstances and adverse <br />
    surroundings, that soul must be radiant, which enjoys <br />
    an habitual response to the prayer—&quot;Lord, lift up the <br />
    light of Your countenance!&quot;
