Bryce In the Atlantic. us it pleasure,
and. il SO, what lis pleasure? Aristotle
gave us definition of pleasure, or
rather. perhaps a description, since
the logicians say that you cannot de-
fine IAN ultimate fact which has not
been much improved upon. 1t is not,
however. psycho biological definitions that
need concern us, but rather this quess
ton, which occupied the unitarian
school seventy years ago, whether the
pleasures taken in the aggregate as,
constituting happiness are to be sub
jected to a qualitative as we'll as al
quantitatiye analysis. Shall we meas
3ure them by the intensity by which
they are felt or by the tineness and
elevation of the feeling to which they
appeal IS the satisfaction which
Perieles felt In watching the perform
ance of a drama Of Sophocles at an
Athenian festival greater or less than
the satisfaction which one of his slaves
felt in obtaining a jar OF Wine?'

very overbearing and bad tempered;
but, thinking that Abdullah was rather

were married. Soon his friends came
to congratulate him, among them
Housseyn, who was known to have a
very oyerbearing and bad tempered

bridegroom, "Are you really happy

An old legend tells us that when
Methuselah was 500 years old an
angel came to him and advised him to
build house instead of living in the
open air, as he had been doing up to
that time. The patriarch asked how
much longer he had to live. stAbout
800 years. answered the angel.
Then" said Methuselah, sit Is not
worth while to build a house
By this token Methuselah proved
himself pessimist. To Azrael a
thousand years may be as yesterday,
but it is not for us to follow the ex-
ample of our antediluvian forefather
and view existence through the eyes OF
death. Every moment added to our
earthly tenure is, regarded as that
much again. The monk Hildesheim,
listening to God in the melody of a
bird for space of three minutes,
found that in those three minutes 800
years had flown. And SO to each of
us life means always the possibility
of joy and revelation unmeasured by
time or space. Therefore LET us bar
gain with death. True, he will claim
us at last, but we shall have had the
better OF the bargain. Lippinc colts. s
