Happiness is a shallow,
temporary feeling, resting on
favorable circumstances and
depending upon our comfort
and pleasure It is found in
the absence of failure, sick
ness, p«in tension, gray hair,
palsied hands, u n c e r ta in
steps, sorrow and death.
Joy is profound and endur
ing. It can co-exist w ith fail
ure, pain and even sorrow.
I luppiness is an end, a goal
w hich men seek, w hile joy
is not an end in itself, but
a by-product of the good life.
St. Paul, amidst bis bard
ships, said W e also rejoice
in our sufferings ('Romans
