DOES SELF-INDuLcENcE BRING
HAPPINESS?

nHPptN6SOt
Some time ago a young man sent
the Rev. T. B. Gregory of st. Louis
the following communication:
Il am a young man who has been
honestly trying for four or five years
to find out what to believe. l have
heard all kinds of preachers, Catho-
lie and Protestant, but as yet I've
struck nothing that seems to fill the
bill.
1.-The other day, as | was looking
through magazine, | came across
what seemed to me to be the most
sensible creed ever written. Here it
is:
"'Let us indulge the joys We know,
Of music, wine and love;
We're sure of what we find below,
Uncertain of what's above
What do you think of ll?'
To which the famous preacher and
newspaper correspondent made the
following reply:
"Well, to speak broadly, / think it
is a creed that no young man can af-
ford to fool with.
'In the first place, it is not an hon.
est creed. 1t does not look you
squarely in the face and speak out in
a plain, straightforward way, but
winks and blinks, and talks in the
most uncertain manner imaginable.
ut comes at you with a mask on.
Knowing that you naturally desire
to be happy, it talks to you of joy,
when it really means to bring you
wretchedness.
st holds up before you the vision
of love- the fairest of all the angels
of God, when in reality it is thinking
of lust, the most loathsome of all the
devils that torment and degrade us.
at would seem to say to you some
thing like this: Life is short and the
future is uncertain therefore, be
happy while the days are passing by,
when it really means that you should
devote your early life to the wild dis
sipation which is sure to make it
living hell.
"The creed of which the young man
writes is an old one-as old as hui
mainly; and in all degrees its devo-
tees have died cursing themselves for
having been foolish enough to believe
it's teachings.
There is some sense in the creed.
Wise men have always realized and
bemoaned the limitation of our act
ual knowledge. Well does the poet
exclaim-
a" Behold, we know not anything
Our knowledge is a very small is.
land in boundless sea of conjecture.
at is perfectly true that we know
but little of what's above;' but this
much we do know, that while below
we must live soberly and decently if
we would live long and happily.
"The epicureanism which, because
it cannot pluck out the hearts life
mystery, resigns itself to the root of
appetite and orgies of passion, is
nothing less than simon-pure foolish
ness.
at is worse than foolishness-it is
suicide.
BE manly! That is the only creed.
1t is true that we know little of to-
morrow, but today be manly. 1t is
true that we know but little of what's
above but while here below be
manly.
mo matter how the battle shall
end, while it is on. stand by your
guns"
