TRUE HAPPINESS. The Atorn—Page There is probably not a person upon this earth who does not desire to be happy. Are not we all continually grasping for those things which, we think, will afford us the most ease, satisfaction, and joy? Some seek it in trying to obtain wealth through the financial channel, others in doing for their fellow men, and still others in purifying their souls by obedience to the laws of God. The sparkling coin, although of true use to man as a means of ex- change, has, perhaps, caused more unhappiness, and ruined more souls than any other one thing on earth. We have not far to go to find the man who is struggling for it with the view of enjoying the luxuries of life, which he calls happiness; nor to find those who would purchase it even at the price of all earthly happiness and, in many instances, the loss of their own souls And yet “what has the owner but the sight of it with his eyes?” Notwithstanding this, there is still another view of the financial ques- tion. Money may be used as a means, to promote the cause of happiness not only on earth, but also in the great beyond. There is a time, use for it: but we too often lack the power to enjoy it. The fault, however, is not with the money but with the user, for the value of money depends upon knowing how to use it. as well as upon the way in which it is obtained. Too often we prize it too highly: and to obtain it we neglect the higher principles of life. The world is too much with us, Getting and spending we lay waste our powers, Little we see in nature that is ours.” Why should we spend so much time seeking for riches? “The rich and the poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all,” and “what doth it profit a man though he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” Among the great principles that promote time happiness is also that of striving to benefit our fellowmen: for in striving to do good to another we can not fail to bring joy and satisfaction to ourselves. The ways in which we might help others are many and various. However the one great law, '‘Love one another” will cover, or at least lead to all others. This law is exemplified in “King Lear” in the faithful old servant Kent. For although he had been banished from and by his master, his great love led him back to care for Lear in the hour of need. And while his eyes were filled with tears of sorrow, he must have enjoyed great inward pleasure to have the opportunity to prove of use to his master in the hour of affliction.

The .leoni—Tage.? Gloucester is also an example of this: for although death was staring him in the face he could not he truly happy until he had given shelter to his friend. Even though his eyes were afterwards torn out for it, he could still retain that inward satisfaction of knowing that he had done his duty. We owe such acts of kindness also to one another, and there are daily opportunities for us to perform them. Who can value the price of a soul? Yet you may be the means of saving at least one if you will. This may be done by a word of encouragement, a hearty hand shake, or a comforting word or act in the hour of trouble. Then let us speak a kind and encouraging word when we can: let us open the shutters of our souls, pour out the sunlight of brotherly love and kindness: for we know not the good we might do, or the time when we shall need comfort in return. This is one of the great princi- ples which King Lear realized when he exclaimed, while in the hour of affliction: “Poor naked wretches, wheresoe'er you are, ■ •» ’ IIow shall vour houseless heads and unfed sides; Your loop’d and widow’d ragged ness, defend you Prom seasons such as these? 1 have ta’en Too little care of this!” These acts will develop, or will at least aid in developing in you purity and nobility of soul that quality which will draw from the souls of others love and respect that the stern command fails to bring; that quality which will stand forever honored and beloved by all: that quality which is so strong- ly exemplified in the life of our Savior, and which placed him on the right hand of God.
