There Is the JOY Of living, and there
Is the JOY Of working. These are all
that many man attai1s. But 1t takes
higher JOY than these to I'LL the soul
of man, as the sunlight fills the sky. or
the ocean ILLS the deep. There is o Joy
that Is known as "blessedness," which
arches these as the heavens span the
sea. lt IS the JOY OF love, the JOY OF
lalth, the JOY OF good conscience, the
JOY OF DONG right Tor tne sake OF right,
the Joy OF sacrifice and Of service.
These are SO far above the others that
they belong to another Kingdom whose
law IS obedience, whose joy is right
eousness, whose fellowship is with
God, and whose entrance is by means
OF q prtn from above. And into this
Kingdom there are certain Wei denned
steps.
Happy" said Jesus, "are the poor In
spirit for theirs is the kingdom Of
heaven" And poverty of spirit is ma
kedness OF soul before God. He is
happy who throws aside his own rags
OF righteousness and going to God says,
"Ciothe me, for am naked; feed me,
for 4 am hungry; guide me, for I am
ignorant; put Thine arms under me,
for am weak AS in the mountain
passes Of the West the traveller holds
up his hands before the bandit, SO in
the presence Of Gods righteousness the
soul must throw up Its hands and sur
render TO God. Blessed are the poor in
spirit, the consciously bankrupt in the
presence OF God. So long as the young
er son remained in the far off land, so
long as he was satisfied with the husks
from the troughs Of the swine, so long
as he wanted nothing, the father might
mourn, but there was nothing for him
to do. But when that son threw him
self upon his fathers love and said, II
have slnned, and you see my want"
then7the father could clothe and feed
and kiss; place sandals upon his feet
and give him the place of the son.
Does prodigal soul wish for happi--
ness? I know OF no chance for him till
he fling away his sin and standing in
his naked need acknowledges his pow
