them. Yet even we would hesitate
very often before pronouncing such
people blessed Happiness in out
ward and transftOry; blessedness is in
ward and abiding. Outward condi-
tons, such as prosperity or adversely
cannot take it away Good fortune is
not bIessedness; but good character is.
Happiness Consists in Being, Not
Having.
what he is in himself, not what he does;
his character, rot his possessions deter
mines his happiness. Blessedness the
kingdom of Heaven, is founded upon
character. The good man is the happy
and blessed man.
The Poor in Spirit Are Blessed.
Jesus did not say, Blessed are the
poor, poverty in itself no more than
riches is a blessing. Indeed. 1t may be
a curse and the source of much unhappi-
ness. No benedictiOn is here placed up
on poverty as such. It is not the beggar
that is blessed. 1t is the poor in spirit
The humble man; the man who places
no confidence in his own good works,
but pleads spiritual poverty; the man
who comes to Christ for salvation with
this plea upon his lips.
Nothing in my hands / bring.
Simply to Thy cross l cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace"
spiritual poverty are blessed. Such
mourning chali find comfort from God.
This does not mean, Blessed is every
one that weeps. The blessed is for
those who weep over their sins. OF
course, God comforts His people when
they mourn for other causes. too
The meek" too, are blessed. The man
submissive to the will and purpose of
God for Him in the world will always be
happy. Indeed, unhappinesS comes be-
cause we rebel against that will The
meek man is the man who is broken
in to do the will of God.
The man who is pure in heart Is
well as in life viii find happiness in that
condition. Purity in thought and in
secret, as well as in act and in public is
demanded for happiness The impure man
is never the happy man. Impurity is hell,
and no man is happy in hell.
The man who is constantly "crav-
ing after a life of personal holiness.
who has passion akin to hunger and
thirst" after cody life will be blessed.
indeed if we seek righteousness rather
than happiness we shall certainly find
happiness through our righteousness.
The capacity for pity; the ability to
sympathiZe, the practice of showing
mercy is an essential profound for hap
pineSs. The hard-hearted man is not a
happy man.
The peachmaker'' the peaceabIe man.
the man who would rather suffer than
cause strife, or sow seeds of diccOrd.
is pronounced blessed The mischief
maker is never happy Nor does he bring
happiness to others.
The ability and capacity ito suffer for
righteousness sake" is one of the con-
ditions of happiness. The apostles ere
joiced that they were worthy to suffer
for His names sake" Suffering for the
right should not bring sorrow. but con-
trariwise happiness We rejoice to know
that thereby we are following in the train
Of Christ Himself.

Jesus a Preacher of Happiness.
The theme of Chrfst's first sermon was
happiness. He began His mission with
a benediction. Thoroughly understand
ing the needs of the human hearts he
set about answering its supreme question,
What is Happiness, and, Where can 1t
be found? To-day, as IN the days OF
Christs earthly mission, the supreme
quest Of man is the quest Of happiness
Happiness Hard to Define.
It is clear that Jesus attempted to
define happiness. Indeed, IL IS queS-
ton whether it can or cannot be defined.
Happiness is relative term What
would make one person happy, might not
bring about the same result in the life
Of another. Jesus deals with the essential
conditions of happiness-c0nditiOn which
are not peculiar or limited to any one
class of society, but which may be
characteristic Of them all. These cOndl-
lions are not social and physical, but
moral and spiritual, and thus are within
the reach of men
Who May Be Happy.
What surprises US as we read the
Sermon on the Mount, is the fact that
Jesus makes happiness to spring from
such an unexpected source The very
persons whose names we would natur-
ally expect to find in a catalogue Of
happy people are not mentioned here.
Blessed are the rich, the noble the
mighty the famous, the gifted, the
crowned, the titled. Jesus did not
pronounce these people happy for the
simple reason that a great part of the
time these things bring much misery
in their trail, and thera is abundant
evidence TO prove that myriads of peo-
pie are happy who possess none Of
these so-called dignities. Christ struck
at the very root of blessedness.
The True Secret of Happiness.

happy Blessedness is a deeper word
than happiness Usually we, who are
shortsighted. speak of people as being
happy when the world goes well with
