Temperance and True Happiness
By Editor
The Lincoln-Lee Legion (a department of the Anti-saloon League, the Rev. Howard Russell, Westerville, Ohio, general secretary) is pushing a total abstinence pledge as follows: "I hereby enroll with the Lincoln-Lee Legion, and promise with God's help to keep the following pledge: Whereas the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage is productive of pauperism, degradation, and crime, and believing it is our duty to discourage that which produces more evil than good, we therefore pledge ourselves to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage." It is a good thing. Pass it on. He who tries to be happy will fail. Happiness does not come in that way. He who forgets himself in doing good and in making others happy will find happiness himself. There is no other way. To seek for happiness for ourselves alone is selfish, and the selfish can not be happy.
