Happiness Hard to Defins. It Is dear that Jesus attempted to define happiness. Indeed. It Is a qutarhether It can or cannot be defined Happiness Is a relative tarm. What would make one person happy, might not bring about tbe same result la the Ufa of another. JmaM deals with the esaentUI conditions of happiness—conditions which are not pecur limited to any one class of society. hut which may bo characteristic of them all These conditions are not soda] and physical, hut moral and spiritual, and thus ar* within tb* reach

’ all men.

Who Kay Be Happy F What surprises us as we read ermon on the Mount. Is the fact that Jeans makes happiness to spring from an unaxpsetsd so* re*. Tba parsons wheat names we would naturally aspect to find In a catalogue of happy people are not maptlon The great Teach* did m "Blessed are the rich, tbe noble, the mighty, the famous, the gifted, the crowned, tbe titled." Jesus did not pronounce these people happy for the simple reason that a great part of the time these things bring much misery In their trail and there is abundant evidence to prove that myriads of pooare happy who poasrsi these so-called dignities. Christ struck at tbe very root of blessedness. The True fiecret of Happlnsaa. In the first place. Jesus speaks of HU people as being "bless*i - happy. Blessedness U a deepei than happiness. Usually we. who are shortsighted, speak of people as being happy when the world goes well with them. Yet even ire would hesitate very often before pronouncing such people “bleased." Happiness U outward and transitory; blessedness U in ward and abiding. Outward conditions, such as prosperity or adversity cannot take it away. Good forti not blessedness; but good character la Happiness Consists In Being, Hot

Having.

What a man It, not what hi what be U In himself, not wl does; hU character, not his possessions determines hU happtnesa Blessedness tbs kingdom of Heaven. U founded upon character. The good man U tbe happy and bleaaed man. The Foot In Spirit Are Blessed. Jeans did not say. "Blessed are the
