1 paas on. then, and take up the
causes of unhappinesa. and I want to
sum them up In Just one short sen
tence: It Is anxiety, or worry, which
causes man's unhappinesa and discon
tent, arising from different sources.
There are some people so constituted
physically, a kind of mercurial tem
perament, that tliey are affected by the
heat and the cold, and then the liver,
that "kjngdom of the devil." is a
source of constant annoyance, and
these people are never happy unless
miserable.
TLaaeeesaary Misery la Stsowau
Then there are people who are con
stantly foreboding evil, the evil day Is
sure to come, and that affords unhappi
nesa. Most of you are familiar with
the story of the little girl that was
sitting beside tha cistern and crying
as though her heart were broken. One
cams along and asked: "What ara you
crying about r- "Well. I was Just think
ing If I should get big and get married
and have a little girl and she should
fall Into the cistern and get drowned,
how dreadful It would be!"
Now there are a great many people
who are living their lives day by day
in that kind of attitude towards the
future, and as a consequence are quite
unhappy In their lives.
Then there are people who are most
sensitive to tha shadows, the gray and
cloudy days. I waa reading, not long
ago. that butter riles are not only stupid
st night, but are affected In the day
time by the shadow of every passing
cloud. It is the habit of Insect hunt
ers to keep their eyes on the butterfly
until the shadows come, when It Is apt
to settle down and become mora or less
torpid. How like people who seem
to lose all Joy beneath the shadows and
the clouds of life, and how like the
butterfly hunter Is the derIL who seents
to get In his very best work upon
these people as they ara passing
through the shadows.
Then there are a great many people
who are miserable because of the'.r
acnleveraenta. Their wants stand be
fore them day and night and they are
dissatisfied until they realise their de
sires. They can never be happy until
tha things they are seeking are within
their possession, and this is the cause
of much of tha world's unhappinesa,

Now what ara some of tba delusions
offered as remedies for man's unhap
pinesa? Well. I mention. In tha first
place, our modern civilisation. Yon
know there are people nowadays who
are speaking of our civilisation aa a
cure-all for all of man's, unhappinesa
Now 1 Am not one of those who would
minimise tba advantages of our civil
isation, nor would I fall to realise the
fact that many of our blessings bare

The Rev. Oliver S. Baum occupies
his pulpit In Calvary Presbyterian
Church every Sabbath throughout the
Summer and has good audiences at
each service, also at the Thursday night
meeting, at which he is giving a series
of talks on Presbyterian ism. His theme
Sunday night will be "How the Doc
trine of Election Works."
Rev. U. D. Watson, of Los Angeles,
will hold daily evangelistic services
been purchased at a price, but I do say
that our civilization, apart from God.
or in defiance of God. is a gigantic
failure, so far as man's happiness is
concerned.
My eyes fell upon some words ut
tered by one of the brainiest men In
America, a few weeks ago. wherein he
says: "Our civilization, without that
which makes It deeper and richer, is
very much like the woman of the
streets, holding forth In a drawing
room. She is very gaudily dressed.
very brilliantly painted, sparkllngly be
jeweled; she smiles, she smirks, she
flatters, she glitters, but her heart Is
stone, her breath is poison, her ways
are death." and this writer enforces
his own estimate by a reference to
John Burroughs, who does not hesti
tate to say that "multitudes find our
own. the most vulgar, the most brutal,
the most cruel era the world has ever
known."
Stop and Think. la Plea.
Now, I am not prepared to utter such
severe words about our civilization, but
I urge upon you this one consideration
In the light-of what is disclosed by the
daily press seven days of the week;
also such things aa are taking place In
Europe today, such things as occur on
the high seas.
This Is the civilization whose god la
greed and commercialism, and before
whose Juggernaut car men and women
and children go to their death: children
to their lives of pain In factories and
sweatshops, and girls to a worse than
death by way of man's lust. Ton ran
very readily sea that civilisation with
out something to make It decent will
never be a remedy for man's unhap
pinesa So. my friends. It Is well for us to
stop at least and think about the severe
words uttered by one of the brainiest
men of America. In view of all that we
have to say about our great modern
civilization, and I want to add this as
my own opinion, that our civilization
spart from Almighty God. Is In Itself
absolutely Incapable of satisfying hu
manity, and the fact of the statement
Is substantiated by perhaps a condition
of today making more discontent than
the world has ever known before. So
I say It la a delusion for us to believe
that civilization Is going to make peo
ple happy.
I want to mention mora definitely an
other delusion, and that Is. a great
many people think they can tie their
contentment to something on the out
side of themselves, to soma position,
to some fortune, and be happy. Just as
travelers tie themselves to Alpine
guides and when on the Icy slopes
these guides slip. they, go down to
their death with them. So It Is when
tying your contentment or happiness
to any material object outside of you:
the moment that thing goes down on

the Icy slopes of uncertainty, your
happiness and your life go down with
It and there is no way of avoiding it
Teach lag of Christ Quoted.
Oh. the blessedness, the happiness of
a man! What does that mean? It
means that it is a tate of the soul on
the inside of life, and the very center
of "our being Is the place of our happi
ness. That Is why Jesus Christ said
In this connection: "What shall it
profit a man if he gain the whole world
and lose his own soulr' That Is wny.
when the man there in the Gospels
said to Jesus: "Master, speak to my
brother that he divide the Inheritance
with me," Jesus replied, "Take heed
snd beware of covetousness, for a man's
life conslsteth not In the abundance of
the things which he possesseth," and
then he goes on to speak that mar
velous parable saying: "The ground of
a certain rich man brought forth plen
tifully, and he thought within himself
saying, "what shall 1 do because I have
no room where to bestov my fruits and
ray goods? I will pull down my barns,
and build greater, and I will say to my
soul. Soul, thou has much goods laid
up for many years: take thine ease,
eat. drink and be merry." "
Then after the picture of supreme
happiness is drawn, God comes down
and writes Just below the picture,
"Thou fool." I do not care whether it
is In the first or in the 20th century,
any man or any woman who tries to
tie happiness to any material posses
sion is a fool, an absolute fool, in the
face of all that has transpired. So that
Is another delusion that is offered snd
has been offered for thousands of years,
and It will be the delusion of humanity
for thousands of years to come. If
Jesus Christ tarries that long. That Is
why we have the old story -of Alex
ander, who conquered the world, and
Ihen sat down and wept because there
were no more worlds to conquer.
Third Delusioa Is Considered.
This Is Carlyle'a thought in speaking
of the two bootblacks: the world has
been cnt Into two parts and one-half
given to each of them, and Carlyle
says, "you can never make these two
bootblacks permanently happ-" So If
you have an ambition. If young men
or young women, have an ambition to
be happy in that way. It is a delusion.
I sometimes wonder In the face of these
things, how much longer humanity will
trample the divine wisdom under foot
and scramble on to disappointment and
to misery in the life here.
Now there is still a third delusion in
regard to our happiness that is becom
ing very prevalent these days. It is
what someone has called "Mental
twaddle." much in vogue today as It
was thousands of years ago. One says
"Now so cunning are we in religious
hocus-pocus, some call It New Thought ,

Bible study, to which all young men are
and Christian Science, vainly striving
to conceal their spiritual nakedness be
hind a nonsensical array of roaring
capitals." The delusion is this: ignore
sin, there is none; ignore pain, there
is none; Ignore anxiety, there is none.
Just as well to advise a man. "There
is no such thing as depths, jump into
the ocean." or. "there is no such thing
as gravity, jump down from the top
of Eiffel Tower." What has been nicely
termed "religious hocus-pocus" is one
of the most prominent features of the
so-called church life on this Coast and
one of the emptiest delusions humanity
ever heard about. I would to God 1
could get some of you people to feel
that for a little time, and that you
would have courage to speak for truth,
and not leave it to the pulpit, and then
apologize because the pulpit mentions
it. It is a sort of religious legerder
maln. a sleight-of-hand performance
by which a great crowd is being led on
to the devil, following a delusion, a
will-of-the-wlsp, hoping to find- happi
ness. They never find it. because that
kind of delusion will never- heal the
hurt of humanity. .
Real Remedy Is Profferred.
Eo much for the delusions. I think
I have covered the three great delu
sions of the world' off ereS as remedies
for man's unliappiness.
Now let us ask for the real remedy
for man's unhappiness. Is there any
remedy? Is there an answer to the
words of the dramatist:
What can minuter to a mind diseased.
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow.
Raze out the written troubles of the brain.
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the stult'd bosom of that perilous
sturf
Which weighs upon the heart?
Tha dramatist's words are waiting
for an answer. Can there be an an
swer to that question, or is man
doomed to go on to his grave in mis
ery and discontent? Some empty folks
have said In the spirit of Talleyrand,
"The fine recipe for happiness is a
hard heart and a good digestion." but
we are not quite ready to accept that.
So we como back to the fount of truth
and life and ask: "What is the recipe
for man's unhappinesa?" The recipe is
a godly life.
Turn over to the Sermon on the
Mount. How does it begin? "Blessed,
blessed, blessed." Who are the blessed?
The blessed are those who have a cer
tain disposition, a certain attitude of
soul. Blessed are the meek. Blessed
are the peace-loving. Blessed are the
merciful. Blessed are the pure in heart.
It is a soul attitude towards God that
makes happiness, and when we have
gotten to this thought, which is strict
ly Biblical and in keeping with the ex
periences of men who are able to speak
we are prepared to ask the philosophy

words: "Delight thyself in the Lord,
and he shall give thee the desires of

That means when a man has a certain
attitude of soul towards God, God will
regulate the desires of his life and he
shall have the desires of his heart.
Boarding School Story Recalled.
Some time ago a certain student of
Northfleld told this story about Dwight
L. Moody: A young girl canje to
Northfleld School. The girl came with
her trunk and took her place in the
boarding-house, but after a day or two
packed her trunk again and started
home. As she was going down to
South Vernon station Mr. Moody met
her and said: "Where are you going?'
She replied: "I am going home." "Go
ing home! Tou have just come.'
"I know it." she said, "but I don't
find the atmosphere which I want
in this place." "What do you want?
"Well. I want to dance: I want to play
cards, and I want to go to the theater
occasionally." "Well, Mr. Moody said
to the girl, "I dame whenever I want
to; I play cards whenever I want to: I
go to shows whenever i want to. in
girl looked at him with great surprise
and said: "Mr. Moody, you don't seem
to ever want to do any of these things
here."
Then Mr. Moody undertook to "show
this poor, ignorant girl, who could not
live In that kind of atmosphere, tne
joys of the godly life. Now keep these
two pictures in your mind and ask
yourself when you go home. 1n the
quiet of your room, which -was the
happy soul, Dwight L. Moody or the
girl who had come seeking her own
atmosphere? Don't you know, my
friends, the whole solution of life's
problem is right there. I wish I could
get young people to realize it those
who are down here among the husks
of the world, asking, "Can't 1 do this;
is there any harm in this, or any harm
in that?"
The very moment, my friend, you get
into a certain position towards God, a
certain attitude of the soul towards
him. you have entered the happy, joy
ous life, and all desires are gratified.
Beautiful, wonderful, true! "Delight
thyself In the Lord and he shall give
thee the desires of thine heart."
Mr. Moody did exactly what he want
ed to' do, and the moment you come In
touch with Jesus Christ you will be
able to do what you want to do, be
cause you will want to do what he
wants you to do. That is happiness.
There is nothing like it In the world.
I know you do not accept, because you
cannot appreciate It, but the time is
coming when you are going to be
weary of the mental twaddle in which
you are trying to find happiness now.
Let us go on further. Oh, the blessed
ness. Oh, the happiness of the man!

"His leaf shall not wither." I want
to ask you what Is it that makes life a
withered thing. You have about three
things that make life withered sin,
suffering and anxiety, and in these
three things there is about everything
included that makes life stale and
withered for man. The Psalmist says,
"His leaf shall not wither.'.' Why?
Not because we come with this twaddle
and say: "There is no sin, ignore it,"
but because we come confessing our
sin, and we receive that sweetest thing.
God's pardon, and that settles the sin
question.
What about suffering? Away with
your nonsense and away with foolish
talk such as, "What can't be cured
must be endured," or, "It is a long lane
that never turns." What does the
Bible say? It says that suffering is no
match for the power of Jesus Christ. .
Suffering is no match for the power of
Jesus Christ I want you to get . it.
"Therefore will I glory in my in
firmity, that the power of Christ may
rest upon me."
Book Advised for Young People.
I hope the young people will read
Dr. Kellman's "The Faith of Robert
Louis Stevenson." The one thing in
that man's life was suffering, but the
suffering was no match for the power
of the Son of God. It was chronic,
awful, atrocious suffering, yet calling
his family around the altar he prayer
like this: "Give us to awake with
smiles. Give us to labor smiliijj.
Give us to go blithely on our business.
Help us to perform the petty rounds
of Irritating concerns with laughter
and kind faces." Here is a man who
never saw a well day and scarcely
breathed a 'breath without pain, who
testified that human suffering was no
match for the power of the Son of God,
and was one of the happiest men who
ever lived, and Robert Louis Stevenson
can be multiplied perhaps a million
times in the world.
What about anxiety? They who have
learned the secret of casting all their
care upon him have no hesitancy in
answering that. You have disposed of
anxiety which makes life stale and
withered. The godly life Is the happy
life, and no man can challenge the
statement- l nnd this: "The Lord
knoweth ths way of righteousness."
Just as he knew the way of the two
going to Emmaus and walked with
them and their hearts burned .as he
opened to them the scriptures. Just
as Enoch walked with God, and "he was
not, for God took him. "The Lord
knoweth the way of the righteous."
and he comes In that way and walks.
hand in hand with the good man.
Mv days with sunshine shall be fraught,
'My eyes shall tearless be.
And stormy days shall be as naught.
If Christ abiae witn me.
The only recipe I know of for hap
piness Is a godly life, . . . ,
