"?to be womed or destroyed. It ie
God ."who has planted in pian the
'mre for largeness and fullness of
life. Man is not designed for asceti
cism and annihilation but for growtji,
conquest and immortal triumph. This
restless craving, which indeed is the
energy expressing itself in, all aps-
bition and willing effort, is t-he basis
of alf mental, moral and spiritual
power. The impulse to get from life
rich and blessed experiences was
planted in the human heart
hand of God, and with such a divine
origin we njust .agree that it is prop
er and legitimate to inan.
Ohe should be free to fashion life's
for a lanj of resplendent beauty and
radiant Joyousness., Yet at-the end
of life’s way, if not loiigjbefore, many
are compel l^ to-ildmit that the good
which they dreamed and which
they sought has proved an illusion.
Solomon’s life began amid auspicious
circumstances and with large promis
es, yet ^t came to sterile weariness
and wounded hope. It was he.who
made the'melancholy confession that
has been frequently and bitterly re
peated, “All is vanity ahd vexation of
spirit.”
There -is a picture called “The
Pursuit of Pl€asure”^that serves well
to illustrate our thought. On. the
female figure called
“Pleasure” who floats through the
air followed by a thrbng of chasing,
V the I men and "women of all
■ ^'and ranks of life. In their pursuit
of the alluring figure they trample
each other down , and continue to
strain neiwe and muscle long after
despair has been written on thoir

Union with God is the soul’s first
need. “Take me,” said the prodigal,
wh€fn the fury‘of his folly was spent.
Those words find an inevitaible com
plement in these other words: “Make
me.” The penitent’s prayer was,
“Make me as one Of thy biped ser
vants,” but the father received him
gladly and said, “This my son was
dead and is alive again, was lost and
is found.” . Like'wise our heavenly
Father makes us sons before he
makes us servants but he makes
us servants as well as sons.

man’s right to seek the expansion of
his mind and the expression of. his
thoughts, the security -lyrd suffi
ciency of his goods, the love and res
pect of his fellows, and the joy and
happiness in living.
On this earth man is adven
turer, seeking more satisfying expe
riences; or rather, he is ~a pilgrim
yearning for some distant land which
is the true home of his being. Only
in this far country can he find ub
timate contentment and sovereign

would find ample and congenial com-_

chastity and‘vice by the blending of
passion with mystery. There is a
widespread revolt against' all high
standards of purity and holiness
which scorns the .sanctity of the body
and detbases our .self-.respect. Nev
ertheless, this liberalism is taking's
tragic toll in the loss of happiness, ca

Father give us liberty to pursue our
chosen ends and aims in life and to
gratify the intolerable thirst with
us for the'happiness of our souls.

John Newton who left a gdofl home
arul~rrha'fty went To “Africa where he
could sin to his heart’.s content; only
Newton was* more deliberate in his
choice of evil. But he did not pros
per by the de.sertion of his father’s
house. His waywardnes.s . only be
trayed him into an illusion as bitter
and as barren as a sea of brine. > The
happint'ss which he pictured vanished
away and his ill-advised adventure
brought him to unendurable loneli
ness, desolating self-»respeqt .Afnl, de
vouring remorse. The prodigal^had
mistaken the false for the, true; he
was f .seeking happiness where none
was to be''found. After all, lawless
pleasure is hut a phantom which
first deceives and later mocks. So
Lord Byron discovere<l. This literary
genius gave himeelf -to sensual liv
ing but soon wearied of life itself.
In observing hts 36th birthday he
penned the memorable warning:
“My years are in the yellow leaf,
The flowers and fruits of love are
gone,
The wonn, the canker and the
grief -
Are mine alone.”
Anothet vain and woeful quest is
that which happiness in the power
afford^ by wealth %ind social posi
tion. One "may^ have honor, station
and material resources in abunance
and still experiences <an incomplete-
p^s and bollo'wness of life.
III. TJke Way of Genuine
Happiness
Ther^ is, 0 pilgrim soul, a path that
does not deceive, a straight anc^nar-
row path that leads directly to the
soul’s sanctutn sanctorum, the mind’s
arcanum and the heart’s home. Into
this path the prodigal put his feet
when “he arose and canie ,to ' his
father.” And trulyr for God is the
supreme object of our desire, thought
and love. The Psalmist has learned
this lesson when he exclaimed, “Thou
\vilt guide me with Thy counsel and
afterward receive me to Thy glory.
Whom have 1 in heaven but Thee, and
on earth there is none that I desire
beside Thee.” The quest for happi
ness is first of all a quest for God.
On an old Bafbyloniah tablet are in
scribed these words: “Trembling one,
pursued by evil,'das)t thyself against
the boMm of thy God.” It was be
cause of our deepest need, our need
for God, that Jesus commanded us to
seelc first the kingdom of pod and
his righteousness and afterward fol
low other legitimate pursuits. Au
gustine was* a prodigal that wandered
afar but was driven by strong ^im-
pulse to seek the Christ, and having
anchored his soul, he^ summed up the
experience of humanity with his own
when he said: “Thou has created us
for Thyself, 0 God, and our’heart
are restless until they find rest in
Thee.”
Out of our personal relationships
come our deep and abiding joys of
life. Kinship, friendship, love and
brotherhood are our sources of real
satisfaction. Yet man’s most funda
mental kinship is with the Eternal
in whose image he was created and
in whose presence he finds everlasting
bliss. Paul touches on this truth
when he says that we inwardly sigh
.while iwe wait for open recognition
as sons of God. When the younger
son, blinded by desires, arrogaritly
set his face toward the world of sinful
pleasures, he said, "Father, give mc.*^
In these words are revealed his
prodigal mood and his falsiT ideals.
Aftw he had learned through^ bitter
experience that the pleasures of the
world are illusive and*’its gifts dis
appointing, he turned home with the
to the Father through him undergo
a radical change in their conception
of human valGes. The natural man
magnifies the man of , great gifts,
who is favoretl by rare fortunes and
who enjoys sfrecial .privileges. We
admire the poet, the orator and the
musician. Military heroes, aces of the
air, actors and actresses ^lypnotize
us and win our admiration. We give
them front page publicity and thfe
chief seats in our assemblies. We
envy their positions. With God it is
otherwise. He honors the good alone,
tlfose who love righteousness and hate
iniquity. And indeed it is only
through love and devotion that we
can become large-minded and grow
sduls capable of ■ comprehending the
highest good. Life’s supreme happi
ness comes through the Creation of
go<l]y character and the cultivation of
Christ-like love, and such is possible
only irf a saving relationship with the
Son of God. “ -

certain elements of» happiness but I
