CAUSE OF THE SUFFERING IN
THE WORLD.

Selfshness in some form is at the
foundation OF most of our unhappiness
and misery. IL we could analyze all
the suffering in the world and trace it
back to its first cause. we would prob
ably find that selfshness was the
greatest factor in creating it. 1t may
be selfishness of Il special kind, but
under whatever form it appears it has
practically the same results. There
may be a difference in kind. but results
are merely q question of degree. Most
Of us are possessed and governed by
selfish motives in life. What We speak
of as ambitious ends are more than
likely dictated by a certain form OF
self1shness. One may hardly succeed
in this life without making another
suffer for it. What is one persons
gain is too. often another's loss. The
woman who shines socially is sure to
create envy and eart-burnings in
another. jealousy is created in every
sphere of human action, whether OF
business or pleasure.
Much of this unhappiness is The
result of selfishness on the part of
those who suffer. We long to succeed
ments of another in this direction
makes us jealous because the element
of selfishness possesses us. We are not
willing to see another reap the rewards
of just and honest work because we
crave the same success, though often
we are unwilling to pay the price.
Envy and jealousy thus influence our
lives and poison the cup We would put
to our lips.
There is much nnhappiness caused
in this way which one cannot prevent.
1t is not SO much rue to our acts. pub
lie. or private. as il is to the power of
selfishness which has grown up in
others. We cannot divorce all of our
thoughts and acts from selfish motives
i'm modern complicated forms of civil
lied life, but our duty does not end
until we strive earnestly to eliminate
it as much as possible. If we make an
earnest effort to order our lives accord
ing to principles of consideration Of
others. we cannot fail to diffuse hap
piness around as the sunlight scatters
rays of warmth and light. The selfish
ness which dictates life to many
grows with age and experience. and it
can only be destroyed in youth. If it
is permitted to possess the home. IL
will strange society and the nation.
In its train must ever come n long list
of hdeous evils to make the world less
pleasant and comfortable as an abid-
ing-place for all. The children who
find their parents cultivating unselfish
principles of life form the habit OF
thinking of others. and as they grow
older this becomes a second nature to
them.-Dr. A. 5. Atkinson in Ledger
Monthly.
