II HE hunt for happiness is universal. 1t is in
progress all the time. Every of us, each
in his own way. yearns to find happiness in
life.
But how different the ways in which hap
piness is hunted
Some seek it through amassing wealth. Some
look for it by winning social prestige. Some i'm
ag1ne that it can be found only by gaining bound
less leisure for pleasures and amusements
And some there De who hold that the one suIe
way to find happiness is entirely TO stop looking
for it, to forget ones self much possible and
to labor earnestly to render useful service to 9th
ers
These last, my brothers, of certainty the
ones in possession of the of finding hap
piness. All other ways of seeking it lead only into
blind alleys of restlessness and discomfort. Self
forgetting service is indeed the one sure way.
Always it is important for us to appreciate this
Today it is more important than before in the
history of mankind, because the need service is
greater than it ever before.
Less than three years gone, the torch of war
was hendishy carried into small country help

who have become allied with them. But in the
