HAPPINESS.

Happiness can never come
from the outside unless it exist
in the inside. We become happy
because there are certain ele-
ments in US that respond imme-
diately to the things that make
up happiness.
To be thoroughly happy you
must be on good terms with
yourself.
1t also means hat you have
fathomed the mystery of happi-
ness of every growing thing
about you. A man that is no.
on good terms with the trees anC
birds, flowers and scores of other
gifts Of nature can never be on
good terms with himself. Al
though silent in expression, ma
ture speaks truths more wonder
Gus than the expressed truths
of man.
To be thoroughly happy you
must be on good terms with ev-
erything about you. To be thor
oughly happy you must make the
wonderful truths and express
sions of nature your mental COM
panions.
1t is impossible for you to be
on good terms with all people
unless you fall in alignment
with their sympathies and their
viewpoints. 1t is impossible for
you to bring out the best that is
within unless you use as a basis
standing a perfect equality OF
terms. Toledo Blade,
