Mas Loves Nothing But Happiness,
Always Striving For it and Lives
For it Alone- Rules For Individ
ual and Social Life.
(By JEAN FINOT, Editor Trench
Review of Reviews.)
Man loves nothing but happiness,
lv ntrlvRH for It. nnd lives (or
happiness alone,. Transform his sen
sibility, ennoble his feelings and in
stead o( doing harm, he will live to
do good, because ibis has become one
of the necessaries of his life.
Maine de Biron has made this pro
found remark: "Give the strongest
being a feeling of sympathy and love
and ail his efforts will be to assist
the weak instead of opposing them."
We preach to man the dogma that
he must sacrifice his own person to
the species and still he never ceases
to affirm his personal right to a
happy life. The word of the found
ers of religions are broken against
the wall of the invincible exigencies
of our life, our rights, our happiness.
The noblest, the moat unselfish spir
its ofen disagree with their abstrac
tions when It comes to carrying them
out in real life and the religions then
speak of "rewards" as the infallible
means to attract the mortals and
keep them on the hard and narrow
path of virtue.
"Rejoice and be exceedingly glad
for great is your reward in heaven
Thine Alma may be in secret, and thy
Father which seeth in secret himself
shall reward thee openly." Matt, v
126, vi 4.
"Rejoice ye in that day and leap
for joy, for behold your reward is
great in heaven." Luke vi 23.
"Sell that ye have, and give alms,
provide yourselves bags which wax
not old, a treasure in the heavens that
faileth not." Luke xii 33.
"But when thou makest a feast
call the poor, the maimed, the lame
and, the blind, and thou shalt be
blessed, for they cannot recompense
thee, for thou shalt be recompensed
at the resurrection of the just."
Luke xiv 13, 14.
"Go thy way, sell whatsoever thou
hast and give to the poor and thou
shalt have treasures in heaven.
Mark x 21.
Nature herself seems to favor the
rights of the individual. We admit
without contest that the latter nykes
sacrifices for the sake of the species,
but it is easily seen that these sacri
fices are in inverse proportion to the
value of the individual. As this lat
ter rises from the organic ladder its
immortals in favor of the species
diminish in quantity and quality.
The Myxomycetes, as well as cer
tain cryptogames disappear as indi
viduals as soon as they are born. But
If we mount a few steps we see how
the individual frees itself until we
reach the human species where the
Individual demands absolute indi
vidual liberty.
As happiness is the goal of man as
well as of society, it is easy to lay
down the rules for the individual and
social life. Man being a social crea
ture and his. happiness impossible
apart from that of society, his per
sonal happiness must be in accord
with the collective happiness. This
accord is created on the basis of jus
tice which in turn establishes duty.
Their principles strive towards col
lective happiness, which again is
nothing but the sum of individual
happiness. The individual happiness
must subordinate itself to justice,
which as the vigilant guardian of
collective happiness remains the only
absolute condition for individual
happiness. The two forms of happi
ness must be reasonable, for the mor
als tolerate none but reasonable be
ings. An involuntary misgiving arises in
us In regard to a moral based upon
happiness. Will that not mean the
turning loose of all passions and all
evil desires?
Not when you remember that we
have in view a humanity that, with
out being superior, still has an idea of
its true interests. It must .have
reached a certain culture as ,well as
a reasonable comprehension. This
education will I triumph sooner or la
ter. Humanity must first of all give
up Its false ideas in Order to give us
just men.
Which is the Best Sewing Machine for You?
J AH that can be said of the Singer, is as
nothing compared to the way the Singer
speaks for itself. Singer results tell the
story of Singer success. , ;
The best way to prove the superiority of
the Singer is to try it try it in your own
home test it by the most difficult work
you know. . v j "
jQBut you . may say "a cheap machine will
do all thisi' Perhaps it will fo-dory but
: how about a year from now? "
q The Singer lasts a lifetime. The half a
century's reputation behind the Singer
proves its . supremacy why' not let the
millions of Singers in the homes all over
the world prove which is the best machine
for you? ' ' ' i '
Q You can't get Singer results with anything
but a Singer. Please remember this.

This education is peculiar in this,
that it imposes upon us the duty of
being our own educators. It de
mands of us that we control our own
lives and bring them Into harmony
with our own real happiness in order
to secure the happiness of others.
A moral based on happiness as the
final end is at any rate far preferable
to one based on fear. It is more
dignified, more generous, aad first of
all more human. It acts in broad day
light, and is divinely simple. The
obligation to do your duty, solely for
duty's sake, today appears, in spite
of the authority of Kant, a childlike
and unrealizable idea. Herbert
Spencer was right in saying that a
human society living according to the
principles of Kant would be unbear
able. The idea of absolute duty, apart
of individual and. social interests,
makes us smile as does the invisible
wants to rule as a supreme being.
The salvation which the moral
based on happiness promises us is far
more certain than that promised by
morals based on heavenly rewards or
fear of hell.
