The speaker begun by saying that all man kind was inspired by a desire to be happy. "It 1b a universal law," he as serted, referring to the Scriptures to substantiate his argumgn*^ "It is the? law of man founded in the laws laid down from the beginning." "The ba by cries not because it is a revolt against wrong, but from a desire to be happ>>s The motive of all govern ments, arts, battle-fields, toil, labor i and all human endeavors, is that those. | about them may be happy." "Not only is it universal and princi pal motive of man to be happy, but its an obligation." declared Mr. Bailey. "God never made a human being to he unhappy. He made it to be a good world, and went the limit or His love." "It is happiness that break- down the barriers of gloom and despondency." "Not only a universal obligation hut a universal inspiration." ^lere the speaker differentiated be tween happiness, joy and fortune. - "Joy", he said, "is of the incident, for tune of the circumstance." "Money does not make happiness," continued Mr. Bailey. "That is a thing of for tune." The speaker next compared Astor. of New York, with all his mil lions, who said. "Great God I don't I know the meaning of the word hap "my" to the old one arm Alex of Wake county, whe had never had more than ten dollars ahead of the gaipe. but when questioned on the witness stand, said. "%Ross I'se had a glorious good time." "Melba and Parrar." he as serted. drawing several thousands dollars per night is a prodigal, and tempting thing, yet with their voices and fortune they cannot match their happiness with the mother singing a lullaby over the cradle in the most humble home in Franklin county." . "Happiness." Mr. Bailey continued, "is an inherent right, and how shall we adjust it. On the road to happi ness ybu will meet pain, but don't flinch from it. Think of the martyrs If you take away pain you take atfay the fellowship of those who lived the sacrificial life?the fellowship of Christ on the Croon." 'You will also meet with sorrow, but its the common lot of the human race. Don't attempt to run away form it. Meet it with faith. God made sorrow to discipline the human heart. Life will adjust itself.- the sunshine and morning dew will como again." "Difficult lex." "You will also meet *Vith difficul ties, problems and obstacles, but life without these is not worth, living**. Here the speaker compared one of Browning's character wanderings through the wild, entangled woods, forest and the desert, and then his happy end, with George Elliot's "Tito fielema" and how Tito through Ills .tr&Ying for pleasure and . happiness and through his thoughtless selfgrati ?flcation. and self-ln&ulgence meets with that retribution inevitable to such a life. The speaker then refcrr efl to Dante's "Dlvina Commedia" as he traces his reader through Hell, the -twilight regions of Purgatory, and the beautiful Mount of Paradise, showing him all forms of pain and torture for the wicked and all varieties of happi ness for the pure and up wTiglit, In his conclusion, the speaker delin eated Goethe's character, Mephisto pheles. taken from Faust, and turning to the Class, as his final words, he wished them happiness and success in life. He warned them of the difll culties. problems and mistakes with which they would meet, declaring that they belonged to the fellowship of the ages. **You wiir meet them on the road to happiness," and bade them not, to run, but to fight courageously.
