Na«
Getiiog Rea^y ^ ^ Happy.
foo many of us are looking
forward to happiness in the fut
ure years instead of getting all
the enjoyment possible out of the
present/ It is well to remember
mt the time will never come in
this world when we shall have
everything we want, just where
and when we want it. The only
way to be happy is to ei?joy all
we have to the xitmost, just as
we go along. It is right t(Si lay
up for old age in youth; preparte
for a rainy day for it ■ will surely
come, — sometime, somewhere
but it is not right to bend all our
energies to this end, &nd put oif
until the future the happiness
we might enjoy every d:ay. It is
far too common to. ,see people
working and saving, denying
tiiemselves ail recreation and
many comforts to lay u]p money
to buy more land, to build a lar
ger and finer house, or to save
for their children, thinking that
when they have accomplished
this they will i)fe happy and begin
to take comfort. The hoped-
for point may never be attained
or if it is sickness and death may
come first and the dear ones we
expected to be happy with may
be gone forever.
How much better to use some
of the good things of life as we
^0 along; make our homes as
bright and cheerful as possible
now. Don’t starve today, either
mind body or soul, thinking you
will riot tomorrow. Don’t hoard
and scrimp through all the best
years of your life, that you may
be generous in your will.
Life is uncertain, and it is better
to make your children happy
while they are under the home-
roof; to call to that home every
pgency that will make their lives
sweeter and better, than to deny
them these, that you may, leave
them a large bank account when
you are gone. Dont keep the
parlor shut up and *live in the
kitchen, unless you want the
boys and girls to be anxious to
leave you. Take time , to read
to rest and to enjoy the society
of friends. Especially take ti me
to e’^joy the companionship of
your children. It Will be only a
few years at best that iiiey will
be with you, and these ought to
years of happiness to both you
and them.
If we are ever happy in this
life we must enjoy what every
day brings us. must be
grateful and glad fdr the good
that comes into our lives, and
patiently bear our trials, beliey
ing that all, if rightly used will
fit us for the enjoyment of per
fect happines hereafter.

The Editor generously opens
^ Columns to me and td all our
bth^ pastors to discuss this sub-!
iect.--^"^
At/pre^nt I oppose Sunday
concerts and Suhcky traffic to the
i^k;^^uR^ntarian grounds. 1
gl^ithat possibly a necessary
mintip^ of Sunday tralBc has
tb tfflSuHied. But all Sunday
work shpuUd be reduced to the
car pen
shouM forc^, as they
mow tcr Wiurk harder on Sun
days itbathpn^oi^er d^s. iVnd
should not be
penptied by a tol^tit i* public
sentifiieiit ^o ni^e a 4»tihet bid
whelEi it aavj^iniiies Sufitdiiy coh*
(^rts. My pMitim, as e:ipressed
in The ]$arUns(ton Nftws of last
wee]^ is ecxtsidered liberal. If
other ministers and other citisehs
have more pronouhc^ views
than I have I trust they also will
expi^S them through the col-
umni of our newspapers. We
are n^w i» a transition period as
regaitds the use we shall make of
Sundfey. We are 4n danger of
losi^t Sunday as a day of rest
and^orship. We. shall save it
only provided we shall crea^te and
keep alive an inteiiigent, whole
some public sentiment in favor
of the proper observance of the
day. To save the day will re
quire the combined effort of pul
pit mnd press, of school and
hoT)fle. Unquestionably the com
ing of the street car, with with
its Sunday traffic and its park,
has i|troduced a new fa^toi* in
the cpilization of our community.
It ppiBents a grave problem in-
deedl The future of our Qommu
n?ty m morals and religion will
be determined very largely by
what shall be the sentiment of
the public toward Sunday traffic
by aur Street Car Co. I shall en
deavor in every proper way to
keep the subject before the pub
lic mind. For a tiijne I shall fre-
}uentli^ have something to «ay
in tfce columns,
when others do not wish to use
the space offered. Since it can
not be fairly said as yet that the
Sunday traffic to the park has
become disreputable, and since
most people have thought too'lit
tle as yet ta' have any decided
conviction ott the subject, I shall
for the tinle being Speak with
moderatiotJ, trusting both the
Car Com|jany and the public to
be amenable to reason. I «till
trust tjie Car Co. to abolish
Sundi^ concerts by and by; ^ I
prefer that they shall do so of
their own free will; but if they
will yield only to pressure. I
shall trust an enlightened pub
lic sentimeat shortly to supply
the pressure. ^
Last week I gave what to many
wUl appear conclusive reasons a-
gainst Sunday concerts and Sun
day travel—except possibly a
necessary minimum—vrithout
touching upon the more distinct
ly religious argument. This lat
ter argument, by agreement of
the pastors will be presented
next-Sunday from most of our^
pulpits.
