Everyone on 1.-THE Road to Joy.
BY MARTHA BURTON.

It is a pleasant thing 10 be told by one who
seems to know perfectly well what she is
talking about that joy and not sadness is the
common heritage Of US all
So many Of US have missed the road TO Joy
altogether, so many OF US have learned 1t
once only to forget the way later on. so many
Of US try so hard to find It without an inward
or outward guide to 1t. that to have II as
clearly pointed out as Louise Collier Wilcox
points to It in her little sign post. % The Road
TO Joy" is a happiness to all who read and
grow wise therein.
II really seems as II most OF US look for
the road to joy among the things we long to
possess. II only we had enough to i've i'm
moderately on, We say, or II only we were able
to travel. or entertain. or TO dress beauti-
fully. we are sure We should be so happy.
Yet this little sign post reminds us il is as
well for us to realize that the finest mo nents
we have ever known have had nothing what
ever to do with possessions and were not re-
lated to events.
Some Of US look for Joy in the fulfllment
Of ambition. We call Joy the twin sister of
fame, Of publicity. even Of notoriety; and
some are so sure there can be no JOY without
health and stanch income. We are willing
to look for it everywhere except within our
own hearts where It must necessarily have
its abiding place.
We will not turn our eyes from the outward
things that seem so real to US to the Joy
within which can become so strong that we
lose all need Of outward influences to in
crease It,

Once we have learned the trick it Is easy

You can surely stand a minute! II you give

not because you cannot stand the moment

bears the minute and then the next and the
next. And anon It is all over. or life is over.
Courage. after all. means nothing more than
to keep your head and not be frightened.
And SO the little sign post reads, II after
all we must accept pain, and sadness, and
suffering. and deprivation. take my word
for It. you are just in the passageway of liv-
ing. Go on and feel sure that in a moment or
two the light at the further end will burst
upon you and you will see that you were Just
on the way to greater Joys than any you
left behind. Perhaps the longer the dark
way the brighter the light at the end. At any
rate. am quite sure we are all on the Road

could sutherland We had not yet suffered
our share
There is no genuine appreciation Of happt-
ness except by those who have suffered. and
II here and here alone is given US to suffer
for Gods sake. we have the belief that IN
other worlds we may more perfectly love
him and serve him, praise him and work for
him
Earth is the minor chord in the great har-
mony of the spheres, but even those of Us who
dwell on earth are on the road to Joy. Only
courage is necessary to US to help US along
the way.
As one looks around life one sometimes
feels that the first virtue and the last. the
one indispensable quality of living this hui
man life is just courage" We are to sit tight
and play the game-a fine enough motto for
any course in life.

Shall fall upon his brow. There is no
light and no sound to distract his at
