Happiness and Pleasure.

Ignorance conrounds happiness with
pleasure. Pleasure comes from with.
out, happiness from within. People
may be very gay and profoundly mis-

be really rich, yet actually poor. In
either case their condition is due to
the fact that the happiness which they
sought. they sought for themselves.
Therein is the poignant error of life.
People who seek happiness for them
selves fail to find 1t. But they who
succeed In securing 1t for others, dis
cover that on them also 1t has been be-
