why shouldn't I be genuinely cheerful? Do I not believe that the promises are to be depended upon? "Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." It surely is not human to believe in such things as these, and then be gloomy about our belief. Maybe that's what our critics think.
