t.ic world is full of good people. What is
goodness? Not the muttering of creed
nor the repeating of a prayer; not the
reading of the Bible nor going to church.
Good people do these things, but these
things are not essentially goodness. Bad
people may do them, too. Goodness Is
consideration for the other fellow, sweet
ness of temper, gentleness of conduct, noble
ness of purpose, love to God and man. 1t
is to live kindly and truly and well. 1t is
like the christ doing good every day and
everywhere. his Is the goodness that
counts in our day. And We rejoice to be-
lieve that it is constantly on the increase.
Goodness is true religion, and true religion
is goodness The two arc inseparable. 1t
is a culturing, refining, elevating process.
1t is ever making for the best that life is
capable of. What God wants lor His chill
dren is lie best. The desire of God is
human harDincss. To this end He is pa
tient and indulgent. He is prodigal in
gifts. He is ever lavishing His love upon
US. God is neither mean nor little. He is
the great Father, giving Himself for the
salvation, the enrichment, the perfect hap
piness of His children. Ged is not the au-
thor of pain. He takes no delight in
tears. The blessed Saviour ceases not in
His age-long effort to make the sons of
earth happy. The law OF the universe, the
design of everything is happiness. Happi-
ness is everywhere. Wander in the woods,
walk in the meadow, meander by the
stream, rest in the valley and climb to the
hilltop; and in everything and everywhere
a well of life, filling the air with its
music, flooding the earth with its joys.
How much more does our heavenly Father
desire you, His children, to be happy. The
only condition of happiness is to be good.
"Biessed are the poor in heart. for they
shall see God" Holiness of life maketh
rich and tendeth not to poverty.

possible thing, and many ask: How can

Queer Siunders.

Years ago the British parliament
passed bill for the rebuilding of a
jai! at Chelmsford. 1t was decreed
that the prisoners should be con-
fined to the old jail while the new
one was building. The new one,
however, was to be constructed from
the materials of the old one. In
the reign of King William ". a
statute was passed fixing the punish
ment at fourteen years transporta-
tion for a particular offense. 1t
added, "Upon conviction one-half
thereof shall 60 to the king and
one-half to the informer." Just
why the king should be transported
for half the term the person who
drew the act found it impossible to
explain, since he had merely made q
ludicrous blunder.
