A Happy New Year to all our readers.

There is a sure way to miss it, and that is to seek it for ourselves. Happiness sought is too elusive. A moment after we think we have her, she is gone; and there are many deceivers who parade in her stolen garments.

There is a sure way to find Happiness; that is, to seek the good of others and forget self. Do duty for Christ’s sake. Minister His life to all around you. Let self die, crucified on His cross. Let Christ live in your heart. And Happiness, no longer coy and elusive, will come like a bird to her nest, and make your heart her home.
