THE HAPPIEsT AGE.

Rev. Myron Reed used to say that
human life up TO about 40 years ago
was not worth livlng-that only the in.
ventlons and Institutions OF the last
half century have made life bearable.
Ex-President Eliot of Harvard has is.
sued a reprint OF little book in which
he argues that human happiness is
neither harder nor easier TO find today
than at any other period.
So the question is still an open one.
Unfortunately, there Is no way ac.
curately to gauge the degree of happI-
ness of any period. or even to define
definitely what happiness is.
All we can know for certain is that
the happiness of our own times is the
best that is attainable to us-and
lucky is he who gets his share OF 1t.
Happiness, like health, is known to
US only through its opposite--health,
through disease and pain, and happi.
ness, through disappointment and mis-
cry. Man never knew he had such an
organ as stomach until indigestion
developed, and he never would realize
happiness II there were not others
worse off than himself.
The masses OF mankind, until this
century almost dumb, now make heard
their suffeiings and dissatisfaction.
