 Talks On Happiness
 The speaker declared the happy are found only in Christian homes and among those who have sought Christ as their Savior. Dr. Hobbs showed that quickly made happiness very often led to pain. He illustrated the death dealing qqualities of drugs, although they are credited with giving "supernal happiness for little while" The preacher declared he proposed to give outlines of four sermons and he asked his hearers would they kindly make your own sermons from the outlines.
 Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unSodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful," quoted Dr. Hobbs. But whose delight is in the law of the Lord,' 'and in His law doth He mediate day and night. An he shall be like q tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruits in his season; his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not SO but are like the chaff which the wind driyeth away. Therefore the lln- godly shall not stand in the judgment nor sinners in the congregation of the way of the righteous, but the way of righteous. For the Lord knoweth the the ungodly shall perish
 Conditions Of Happiness
 Love and care for the poor was made the second condition of happiness and Dr. Dobbs read as follows: Blessed is he that considerest the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of troubIe.''
 AS third condition of happiness Dr. Hobbs said: Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Word; blessed are they that keep His testimonies and that seek Him with the whole heart"
 As his fourth condition of happiness, Dr. Hobbs continued: Blessed is the one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in His ways. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.' The contioning condition of all true happiness are as follows: Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed IS the man unto whom the Lord i'm puteth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.' Ii was held that the great supreme condition of happiness is the condition of the soul. and that the tree of happiness has it's roots deep in the real lives people lead.
