What is happiness? To the person wht
is sick it is health. To the hungry it i
food. To the cold it is warmth. To tn
poor il is riches. So. it is hope, after all
Man never is, but always to be blest.
Give him health, food. warmth, riches
crafty every desire Of his heart, and ht
viii long for something or regret some
thing. Happiness is that which we want
Therefore it can not last long; for that
which man has he does not want.
l. is often preached that happiness is
contentment with ones lot. And this
preachment is generally coupled with
the teaching that it is mans duty
TO be contented. Go to, sairh the preacher,
let rs proceed to be happy; for it IS our
bounden duty 50 to be. That is the kind
Of husks of happiness which the swine
did eat But the prodigal son who had
experienced fa.ted calf could not content
himself with this swinish bill of fare. He
vas not happy because he knew OF some
thing better than that Preach content
meut to the pigs, but not to the dissipated
young gentleman whose lot was so bad,
and who, in fact, was a bad lot himself.
The man who knows of any lot better
than his own has no duty to be contented
with il, no right to be contented with it.
And he will not be He may pretend to
be. But, if be does, he is a scribe, and
pharisee, and hypocrite; and none such
shall enter into the kingdom of happiness.
If contentment were happiness, then
happiness would be Chinese caste ard
Chinese stagnation. 1t is of the very
essence of civilization, of progress, OF en-
Iightenmeut, of the redemption of the
world, that no man must be contented
with his lot As soon as he has sat down
and invited his soul to take its ease, the
fool is o:dered up higher. Ease-or, in
other words, CONFERENCE.-The the fools
ideal; but it is death. When you stop
striving to be happy You begin to die
Stopping anywhere is dying and dying
can never be made happiness only as it
is thought of as goingforward.
And this brings US back to where we
started fron-that happiness is hope, pur-
suit, transition from lot that we are dis
contented with to some other lot that we
think we shall be contented with. 1t is
movement, activity, a living always in
harness and dying with the boots on. 1t
is change. 1t is life. And, if life is
worth living at all, it is worth it only in
Shst way.
But the man who lives it in that way
merely for the purpose OF procuring his
own happiness out of it is only little
less miserable than the other selfish gen.
tleman who losfs voluptuously with his
own soul on the earnings of his ancestors
and makes his own pleasure the object Of
creation and the reason for the existence |
OF the universe. Selfish action comes but |
little nearer happiness than selfish idle
ness.
