character in the order in which they have
been named. Without poverty of spirit

CAPT. VALIANT GIVES
HIS VIEW OF HAPPINESS

Happiness was viewed from two stand
points by Capt. Theodore Valiant of the
Homeward Bound Mission during his Fri
day evening lecture last week to a large
audience at headquarters, 119 Pennsylvania
avenue. He said:
Happiness is not the highest good. The
end OF conduct is not happiness but like
ness unto Christ. The supreme object of
each life should be TO grow up into His
likeness. If likeness unto Him brings hap
piness, we'll and good; but If it does not.
still to be like Him should be the chief end
OF each life. Were one compelled to choose
between happiness and goodness there
should be no hesitancy in choosing the lat
ter. Goodness is better than happiness
But true goodness and true happiness
aye inseparaby connected. To be truly
good, therefore, is to be truly happy; but
one does not become happy by seeking hap
piness Seek ii and 1t fees before you.
You secure neither 1T nor goodness. Seek
with all your soul goodness and you will
secure both The way to goodness Is not
through happiness; but the way to happi-
ness is through goodness. IT, therefore
you would be happy, first of all and above
all, be good. True happiness attaches it
self to Christian character. Worldly happi-
ness is subject TO environment and its
changes. So long the worldly man has
health, wealth, friends. position. honor,
prosperity, etc, he is happy.
But when these are gone his happiness
is gone. Heath cannot always be retained.
All his wealth may in a day be lost,
friends may forsake; position and honor
depend largely upon the tickle multitude;
prosperity is often turned into adversely.
Upon what an insecure foundation, there
fore. does worldly happiness rest; how
easily its JOY is turned into sorrow Chris
tan character is subject to the will OF the
individual. Neither friend nor foe can de-
strOy II. God VIII not take 1t from US, and
the devil cannot. Every man is free to
build for himself such character. He is
50 free To retain ii. If he ever loses II he
must of his own free viii surrender it. He
IS, therefore, in absolute control of his own
happiness.

The general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church in this country, which
meets triennially, will assemble October 2

ing bishop, who will occupy the chair at

Clcrgymen agree that it has come to the
insurance to protect their families, and In
many cases they declare they cannot prop
erly educate their children. The average
minister has education that units him
for business. He has smaller income than
the average mechanic and has a generous
heart and big family. He is self-saCritiC-
ing and unworldly. He manages to save
little or nothing AS a young man he may
