HAPPINESS

ness, and whether it be discovered through
freedom or responsibility, through selfish
ness or sacrifice, through exaction or SER
vice, it still remains the eternal quest
with no possible hope of abatement.
Happiness should, and ultimately will
be, the true end and aim of life. When
happiness is derived from our vocations,
from our surroundings and experiences
the physical faculties are greatly i'm
proved, mentality is stimulated, and
through this exuberant energy, the world
poses.
Happiness was once represented as a
great precious stone, which humanity
sought for hopelessy, just as Diogenes
moused through Athens, looking for an
honest man, and died disappointed. How
ever, it was just yesterday that happiness
was discovered to be MOSAIC, and within
easy reach of all who prove worthy.
Happiness is composed of multitudes of
insignificant acts, which, separately, and
of themselves, possess but little value, yet
when assembled form a most beautiful en-
semble.
Happiness is in the air. We have but
to reach forth for it, and it is ours. The
supreme test of happiness lies in the ability

low or high degree. The old woman who
swept her cottage to the glory of God was
as truly happy as is the virtuoso who
thrills us with music and song. All are
laborers in the vineyard of life. Our
tasks are different-that's all. They who
are greatest among us shall be our SER
wants.
Happiness is our portion when we
utilize our hands to work, our brains to
think, and our hearts to love. Happy folks
are always kind, always patient, always
lovable. To them is entrusted the momen-
tous problems of the universe, and the
manner in which they solve them calls
forth calculations of praise.
Happy folks meet all upon plane of
equality, facing obstacles and surmounting
difficulties with calm courage. Verify, their
lives are an inspiration.
The law of harvest is that you reap
more than you sow.
Do right, and your recompense will be
the power to do more right. Give, and
your reward will be the spirit of giving
more. Love, and you will be repaid with
the capacity for more and greater love.
Love is the most sublime thing in the
world, and greater love hath no man than
this: that he devote his life to the service
of others.
Continually direct your mind toward the
good that is in others, and make your ap-
peal to that, encouraging in them only
thoughts that are positive and constructive.
Cultivate a cheerful spirit, a smiling
countenance, subdued voice. These are
earth's potential conquerors, and to culti-
vate them is to become likened unto the
Master. -
Believe in yourself, express your latent
convictions, and they will become power
for good. Let your life be blessing and
benefit, permitting it to shine with origi-
nal splendor, in lieu of the borrowed
reflection of Others
This sublime vision is daily revealed to
the pure of heart to those having clean
minds and chaste bodies. To the pure, all
things are pure. Clean consciences are as
essential as clean hands, while clean
hearts are just as necessary as are clean
homes.
When you desire to make others happy,
set the example by your own life. In the
cultivation of happiness remember the
