Happiness is like sunshine after rain.
Il cheers a persons heart when I'm deep
trouble and puts them on the sunny side
OF life. for when happiness is lost then
this life on earth is not worth living.
Until man overcomes sadness and wears
a smile that in itself says Il am willing
10 help" his life will be overshadowed by
dark clouds. Happiness Is rather chosen
than riches. A man who lives in happ!-
ness lives in God. Happy is the man who
lives in God. ROBERT H. PIERCE.

The haven Of happiness Is reached by
the road Of helpfulness. whereas the

Learn happiness If YOU would know
The dearest gifts the gods bestow;
Peace and the hearts most precious prize,
Contentment. whose soft glamour lies
Around one Ike the morning glow:
To have the best that life can show,
a thousand friends and not one foe.
Health, which makes earth a paradise.
Learn happiness.

True happiness can never live alone.

True happiness is the consciousness of
duty well performed no matter how irk-
some or tiresome. There is no genuine
contentment until the effort to help others
