RADIANT LIVING
Port of Hearts Desire
BY Rev. c. Ai. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor Of
Deals Island, Md.

Have not you, as have !, stood
many times on the white sands oI
some ocean beach and looked faI
out across the expanse of the green
blue waters to that distant gray hOr-
izon and wondered just what coun-
try or city lay opposite?
AS we look out over the sea OF
life there lies beyond the horizon OF
visible things that particular port
where the inhabitants, we are told.
spend every day in the enjoyment OF
those refined pleasures that come
from the appreciation of and in the
utilization of those higher things in
life.
This is that Port of Hearts De-
sire called Happiness.
Writes one of our modern poets:
"Man's highest goal on earth is
happiness" This, l believe, is real
success in life-to discover and TO
enjoy a radiant happiness!
Is this not what all men want but
which few attain? Stop the average
man on the street and ask him what
is his chief desire in life and, If he
is a thoughtful man, he will immed-
lately answer you, Happiness"
But where, you may be asking,
can this Port of Hearts Desire be
located?
Its location is not mystery. II is
plainly marked on the map of life's
activities. You will find it in the
Land of Service.
Happiness is not to be found in
living for ones self and for ones /
self advancement; but 1t is to be /
found in living for others II is not
so much what you do in life, whe-
her you are a doctor, nurse, law
7er, teacher, or even a day laborer,
I is not so much what you do, but
he thing that counts in the spirit
n which you do it. 1t lies in the mo-
i've that sends you forth to do your
ask in life.
Seek to make this world a better
lace, a cleaner place. safer place
Or others to live in and you will
iscover that you have arrived in
mis- delightful Port of Hearts De-
lre-true and lasting happiness.

after the one-sided duel She was watching
the take off of six cross country training
planes and noticed the stubby winged Ger
hardt standing on the line, propeller idling.
She was briefly aware of Martins sardonic
face and crooked smile at the cabin window:
then the field mechanics pulled the chocks
from in front of the wheels, the Monsoon
roared, and the ship took the air. One OF the
mechanics spoke to his mate. Ten bucks. he

The significance of the word registered

0oLLY ANN MEREDITH dropped her gog-
Hgles and helmet on the desk and picked
. up the sheet of single spaced typing
which Mike Lyford, G-BAT Chief of Opera
tions, pushed towards her. At eight thousand
feet, ten miles south of Santa Brigtda field, she
read, a stock Gerha1dt cabin job was seen dining
on PC lo,e-wing . She raised her eyes
from the paper.
1T was reported, them?
1T was observed" the operations chief
corrected. "What was the idea, Merry"
"Is this official?''
mot yet Dick Ames was flying from
Parsons and saw the whole business. He
followed the two of you in to Santa Brigida
and when the Gerhard. landed right behind
you he thought the pilot might be friend of
yours -"
"No!" she snapped. IF this is off the
record, Mike -
Lyford's nod was promise. Between him
and this girl there had never been any
equivocation or verbal sparring. hence little
need for words He had known Polly Ann
Meredith since the days before she had be-
come crack flyer, when she was still a
stewardess on the FL Paso flight, and he knew
that she was one of the squarest shooters who

the crimes of the Gerhardt pilot. why didn't

She answered indirectly He said he d met

and that he's heard plenty about me since. He

some folks said was.
That's pretty weak.
"Yes. told him to think up better one

"Hold everything, Mike. 1t was fgurative.
