The Children's Bible
The Way To Be Well And Happy

      Many a man tells of his own kindness.
      But a trustworthy man who can find?
      A child is known by his acts,
      Whether his work is pure and right.
      
      Worry in a man's mind makes it sad,
      But a kind word makes it happy.
      A man's spirit upholds him in sickness,
      But who can raise up a broken spirit?
      
      A calm mind is the life of the body,
      But jealousy rots the bones.
      A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,
      But by inward sorrow the spirit is broken.
      A joyful heart is good medicine,
      But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
