a world trimming wei with Joy. with
laughing meadows. with smiling morns,
with ripping bird song, and to man He
gives faculties of unreasonable happi-
ness. Life is learning the law of happi-
ness and practicing Its use and service.
But what is the secret of happiness?
How can we learn to be happy when
life has so much to make us sad? The
praise Of happiness does not take away
the fact Of sorrow or solve its dark
problem. There remain the million ach-
ing hearts and all the griefs of a world.
True. God forbid that we should lose
our sorrows; that We're to make his Il
sad world indeed. Our cares are but
part of joys curriculum. Learning
their lesson, bearing their load is essen
tial to deep, lasting happiness.
1t is not the life of the butterfly eX-
perience that is firm, calm, serene In
times Of storm and stress. 1t is the life
that by loads of care has been forced
to strike it's roots down to the rocks.
There are some lives that seem to run
over with a happiness that Is full or
refreshing to all who know them, ana
these have come out Of great tribula-
ton.
At first the multiplication table is a
burden; later, when mastered, 1t be-
comes a wonderful bearer of rde
To wear a careworn, fretful look, TO
go through life shedding misery, Is to
confess that we AVE not learned our
lesson. that we are dunces in life's
school,.
The secret of happiness is grasping
the significance of living, to learn that
we live for things other and higher
than those mad follies n fading
prizes for which men sell their bodies
and souls and fret out their nerves and
hearts. Nc man can be happy. whose
heart is set on the changing fashion or
things or who ooks for satisfaction In
things.
The lover is happy because he has
discovered a prize and is enthralled by
a pursuit that makes all other things
seem mean and paltry. Men are happy
in proportion as they yield themselves
to the best, as they tune their hearts
to strike the key of their lives. Paul
is happier in the dungeon, where ne can
be true to his ideal, h Nero on the
throne without one.
There is feast in days of famine for
those who have the inner eyes for the
riches of life. You always can lind IN
his world what your heart is looking
for. But you cannot satisfy your heart
on everything you may chance to find,
and until the heart is satisfied and the
deeper needs of the life are met there
is no happiness.
The search for happiness is not alto
gether selfish. Few things can we do
that will help others more than the
cultivation of serene strength and cheer
in ourselves. Not the soulless, set smile,
but the strength and sympathy that
flow from a life fixed i'll confidence i'll
eternal right and good and %unfailins
love.

CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH.

Suffered Three Years-Hands and
Eye Most AfYected-Now Well and
Is Grateful to Cutfcura.
MY wife was taken badly with ecze-
ma for three years, and she employed a
doctor with no effect at all until she
employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
One of her hands and her left eye were
badly affected, and when she would
stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment
the eczema came back, but very slight
ly, but it did her a sight Of good. Then
we used the entire set of Cuticura Rem
edies INC my wife is entirely recov-
cred. She thanks Cuticura very much
and will recommend it highly in our
locality and in every nook and corner
of u parish. I. NJ. Robert, Hydrop-

THE SENSE OF THE UNSEEN.
Ev Rev. II. w. Harrj


while we look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things which
are not seen for the things which are
seen are temporal, but the things WHICH
are not seen are eternal.'-1I. Cor. w.,
10.
Looking on things not seen. That
sounds like either fantasy or folly. Yet
it is plain fact, practical, and certain
" essential to any success. He is blind
who can see only with his eyes, and he
only is sensible who knows there are
many things beyond his senses. Prac-
teal men consider all the factors to
every problem, and things are not less
real to them because they may chance
to be intangible.
A man is wealthy according to what
is within him. His greatness is of the
things that are unseen. There are
limits to the possession n the use Of
the things that are seen; but who Shall
set a limit to a mans possible wealth
in love and honor, in wisdom and in
tegrity, in all the things that make up
the soul of man? Few are the things
that a man may hold for his own all
the days of his life, and fewer still are
those he may grasp with pleasure when
the hands are falling helpless by his
side. But man. are the riches he may
have to hold forever in the things of
the unseen.
Many q man walks through the fields
penniless and yet richer far than their
owner; to him the birds sing, for him
| the flowers bloom, to his eyes there are
| beauties in the blue beyond all words,
and all the loneliness of the fair land
lifts his heart within hin. The other
man who holds the title deeds sees moth
ing beside them. Possession is wholly
Il matter of appreciation. The earth is
the Lords and he gives it to those who
have eyes to see.
1t is the eye to see the unseen that
| gives wealth to the seen. Values de-
pend on vision. Appreciation does not
prevent possession it makes the posses
sion actual. And the vision of the real
! tiles behind things keeps a man from
| the sense of restitution when all things
are taken from him. He cannot be
destitute. He may lose all his cel.Ows,
but he cannot be f%riendless; the Father
Of Spirits cannot lose him, nor can he
be cut off from fellowship with those
who die no more.
The seeing eye is the stimulus to the
worth while endeavor. The inventors
who have enriched the world endured
derision seeing the things invisible to
others. The truth is that it is tie
unspiritual world that makes the least
progress in things material. Thc men
of faith and vision are back of all adj
vance. They have endurance, patience,
and strength. The sense of another
world where motives are rightly meas
ured, the sense of a great cloI,d Of
worthy witnesses to other eyes invisi.
Bile. the sense of reward in the very ser.
vice itself, rewards intangible yet most
real. the joy Of sacrifice and service
these all enable one to push on, 10 toll,
to endure. Then, long afterwards
the dull eyed world sees and under,

In the absence Of the information edi-

HAPPINESS.
By Rev. Henry F. Cope.

by rev.. henry r. cope.
He that is of a cheerful heart has
q continual feast."-Prov. Is 10.
How did your Puritan forefathers
dispose Of that text? In their day it
read, "a merry heart is a continual
feast" Did they explain it away by
saying that the man was made anyway
for fasting and not for feast1ng? Per-
haps underneath their austere exterior
they, after all, knew something Of deep
joys and unfailing sources Of refresh
ing happiness.
In their teaching they made the mis-
take of insisting that it was necessary
to seem sad in order to please the Most
sad in order to please ourselves. Their
misery at least had the grace of q
high motive: ours is BORN of q short
sighted ~selfishness that grasps at the
shadow of a feeting satisfaction and
loses the substance of lasting joy.
Happiness is the highest aim of life,
higher than holiness or usefulness, be.
cause it must include both. To us it is
so unfamiliar that we do not know il
from frivolity we seek the excitement
of some pleasing sensation, and, rising
to it's stimulus, we fall afterwards into
the reaction of misery. Happiness is
the Doise, calm, strength and spring OF
the life fully in harmony with all things
good and true.
Nothing praises God better than
happy disposition. Many have thought
to give Him glory by learned treatises
on His majesty and mystery. But a lit
tie child, SO happy that he only cal
kick and crow, pleases the Almight,
more effectively and wen devoutly thar
| does the theologian who only can ofe,
his bloodless speculations.

Nebraska farmers complain that a
great trust controls the creameries in
that State. It is asserted that the
trust fixes the price Of cream, dictates
the territory for each creamery, and
when an Independent butter factory
starts up the trust raises the price of
cream and drives 1t out Of business.
In addition to this 1t Is claimed that
the railroads have given the trust spe-
cial rates and that the small creamery
man stands no show. The trust is re-
ported as making an annual profit of
from 100 to 200 per cent. The attor-

Heretofore when lawyers have APP
peared In certain cases In the State
the News and Observer called them
traitors TO their State and applied
many other epithets TO show its
venom. Now we want to know II
the Observer thinks the lawyers who
have appeared In the railroad rate
case against their State are traitors
to the State? We have asked this
question before but have received no
reply. Because Mr.. Jas. II. POu has
been Chairman of the Democratic
party In this State, and because
other attorneys appearing against
the State are high up in party coun-
ellis, does that make them immune
from criticism, or is the Observer
simply afraid to tackle them? II
must be one of the two causes that
keeps the Observer quiet.
