A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT

Always men have sought happiness Generation after generation thru war and politics and art and wealth they have worked butfor thousands of years they failed There might be for a whilePhilosophyIsame gavenor strength And the writings left ftvmthoae old days breatheonly the spirit of a great longing or of despair

For the men sought wrongly Happiness was looked for fromthose thimgs which please the senses Those who were able triedall that wealth could command and eye and ear taste and touchbrain and nerve were seduced and flattered and indulgedwithoutstint But each pleasure left on passing only an after taste ofbitternesstThou way was secret came from onewhose share of pleasure was the smallest And He did not teachhappiness nor promise it His rule was iron hard Forget yourselfCaro for others Seek nothing but to bo allowed to serve Surelysaid those wise seekers after happiness this man is crazy andno one can follow out such foolish teaching The cost will be toogreat But some were that foolish And soon the wise men wereastonished to eee that these foolish persons were happy as the wisemen were not Tho foolish persons might not and often didnothave any of the things which men had always sought Still theywere happy And as others tried tho same kind of life they toobecame happy Happiness was rare in those days and this causedmuch talk A happy life was about the first prominent mark of thefollowers of Christ

And thus it was found that the much desired happiness couldnot be won by going directly after it but that it comes to each mononly as he gives of himself unselfishly for others Isuppose the God that made man intended it to be that wayso thatus men became wise they would also become good But at any ratemen are so made that every selfish pleasure that can be devisedgrows after a while not only worthless but bitter and sickeningNothing that is selfish will give lasting comfort or leave a happymemoryonly unselfishness

Cbristslid not come to bring happiness He bad moroimpor ¬

tant buisnoss Butthe happiness camo with him and it is here yetfor any one who will seek it io the right way And so this winterI am wishing my friends a Merry Christmas in more words thanusual because I hope that each will have at least a little of this real

happinessEachcan have it No one but yourself can prevent for it de ¬

pends on what you yourself do But also no one can givejt to youYour dearest friend or richest is helpless And there is no one ofyou too poor to earn this happiness or too sick or helpless Inwhatever place among whatever people you may spend the Daythere will be many chances to apply the rule tho rule of Christslife the rule which does not promise happiness but gives it the ruleof service and kindness And it you look about for chances theywill be Forget yourself and as you give so shall it begiven to you again

And so I wish each one a Merry Christmas a real Christmasthat will live long after the day dies a Christmas that will give tothose about you more of the blessings which Christ came to spread aChristmas which will bring to you that happiness which men havealways sought a Christmas somewhat worthy of Him whose name itbears
