The San Francisco call., 1904-12-11

Pleasure, sometimes of Honor, some
times of Ease. But it will be univer-
sally found to be analyzable as Self,
disguised in different costumes. A
wrong life pursues this shadow. The
fasteI the pursuer runs, the faster the
shadow fees, till both disappear over
the edge of the precipice of death.
The shadow is never caught. The
pursuer ultimately perishes. He calls
the shadow Happiness, but Selfshness
and true Happiness never meet.
Right, on the other hand, turns ITS
back on the shadow of Self, its face
to the Sun of Righteousness. In
obedience to the great law of Benev-
olence, it resolutely sacrifices the
lesser for the greater good, the paltry
self for the worthy many. If it pos
sesses brains they are placed at the
disposal of humanity. Their luscious
fruit is lavished on the markets of the
world. If it possesses influence,
knowledge, health, wealth-in short,
anything that is worth having is
offered cheerfully and willingly for
the service of God and humanity, as
representing the highest good. Right
runs toward the Sun of Righteous
ness, and the shadow of Self now
becomes its servant. The faster Right
runs the faster does its shadow fol-
low and minister 20 its needs true
happiness, good measure, pressed
down, shaken together and running
over.
