leNt; St. Matthew B:1-1O. 43-4s
 Ana seeing the multitudes. he went up lnto the mountains. and when he qua sat down, his deciples came unto nm. and he opened his mouth and .@ught them, saying.
 Blessed are tho poor in spirit. for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 Blessed are they that mohn: for they shall bc comforted.
 Blessed are the meek. for they shall Inherit the earth.
 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness. for they shall be filled.
 Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.
 Blessed are the pure i'm heart: for tuey shall see God.
 Llessed are the peacemakers. for 'hey shall be called the sons of God.
 Blessed are they that have been per- secuted for righteousness sake: for heirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 re have heard that it was said. thou shalt love thy neighbor. and love thine anemy: but I say unto you. Love your enemies. and pray for them that perse- ute you; that ye may be sons of your rather who is in heaven: Tor he mak- eth his sun to rise on the evil and Che good. and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust. For if ye love them hat love you. what reward have yer Do not even the publicans the same And fl yo salute your brethren only what do we more than others7 Do not sven the Gentiles the same2 Ye there lore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
 We begin a sermon on the mount In this lesson. There are two other les sons found in this matchless discourse of the first preacher The introduce tory part of the sermon is known as the Beatitudes. It ss the key to al that Jesus taught and lived. Jesus starts his ministry with these bless ings and thus let's us into the secret of his program for all mankind. ll is we'll that ho thus begins because ht is a blessing to mankind and he came Co bring blessings to an who would -receive them and he poured out bless. ings in abundance wherever he went He ls stin the chief blessing 10 hu. manity
 Tn him all the families of the earth should be blessed"
 These blessings clear tho air and Tighten tho load and cheer the dis. couraged. They rectify the misunder. standings and tho misrcpresentations they put first things first. They strike NN Niit ANVAs HII lIAhU IA0AAAANAlt T Ntl values in human character. Those wh' have been trying to live honestly ans soberiy and spiritually may have be- come weary and were In danger O giving up their faith and their go0' habits It is SO hard at times to d' and think the right things. The othe world seems to get on SO we'll for thos who arc trying hard. It Is natural t' let the tempter come in and say. Wha is tho use Christ clears the decks O all the wrong notions and false stan dards In the very first words of hi sermon.
 Happiness has been tho quest for al mankind since Eden. old Seneca gav us some good things to think on an' others have initiated him. What happiness7 What Is the secret7 Wher is the door7 Happiness Is what we al want Wo do some strange things fl our efforts to attain. Christ name' eight kinds of people who are happy He did not say that it was possible fo them Co attain happiness nor did h say that they would be happy in som far off haven but he said that they ar happy.
 The poor fin spirit arc happy.
 Thoy that mourn are happy.
