The Happy Way Of Life

I Owe is the happy way of life.
~ 1t is the only happy way of
life. Children are happy to the de-
gree that they are loved. Find me
a home where children are truly
loved, and l will have no difficulty
in identifying that as a happy home.
Little children yearn for love, and
they respond in love. That is one
reason why they like dogs. Dogs
love little children, unless they are
the wrong sort of dogs. And little
children love dogs.
II dog can bring happiness to
little child by loving to the limit
of its brute nature, how much
more can parents, made in the
image Of God. bring happiness to
little children by loving them.

the eyes Of the heart, and 1t is
Of such eyes that am now think

some strangers had bought the
house next door to his. They had

I asked him if he would do what
proposed as a solution to his
difficulty. He hesitated. / suggest

Follow After Love

TT ERE you will need to read
John 2:7-1l. We need not pass
resolutions about better relations
within nations and between nations
unless we are willing to follow after
love in the everyday relationships of
life.
Just across the fence, just
across the hedge, just across the
desk, just across the hall, just
across the way, narrow or wide
II may be, is a human being who
yearns for love. 1t is generally
safe to assume that the people you
see every day are lonely people.
You may not understand why, but
they are lonely.
What can you do to help them in
their loneliness? That is where the
water begins to hit the wheel in ap-
plying this lesson to everyday life
In the pioneer days Of our coun-
try, people were more neighborly,
because they were aware of great
danger-danger from Indians, dam
ger from wild beasts, danger from
the wilderness about them. This
sense of danger drew them together.
Today, with our walled apartments,
we have lost some sense Of inter-
dependence. That is why we are
SO lonely. Follow the better self
within you. Penetrate these bar
riers. Follow after love. And you
will be happier as you make your
neighbor happy.

The Way Of Love
Lesson for November %, 1s47

CUNDAY'S lesson is based on the
- writings of John, John Id, and
John 81 1922. The devotional read
ing is First Corinthians 49,
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1947-11-20

THE way OF love is the way Of
! Christ. "a new commandment
I give unto you" said Jesus, "That
ye love one another as have loved
you"
Not until we reach the point that
we can lock at life through the
eyes Of love-the eyes Of the heart
can we know the Joy which
comes when we follow the way Of
love. It may sound very simple.
That is the reason why II Is so
vital. 1t is the one way up and
out for our frightened world. The
way Of love is the way God wants
us to go today and tomorrow.
