PURSUIT OF EQUALITY Altho the proposition that all men are created equal Is one of the brightest gems In the Declaration of Independence, there are an increas ing number of citizens who contend that the idea is phoney and should be stricken from the document. And the doubting Thomases who go about debunking this philosophy have quite a formidable collection of facts to support their contention. Ths intelligence tests, they say. prove conclusively that the distribution of grey matter has not been parceled out equally, and no one can rise to refute the statement. Nor have other endowments, such as pulctri- tude, artistic ability, length and breadth, to say nothing of heft, been spread equally over the population. And poorly Informed Is the person who will gainsay that there isn't inequality in such respects. However, while the proponents of the inequality theory pyramid their evidence, one is wont to ask if the joy killers have a correct slant on the proposition in question. Did the minds that conceived the equality Idea have reference to the means or the ends? The latter would seem to be what is implied. The end is hap piness, and as such all are created equal. The portals of the kingdom of Heaven are always open and the drawbridge down; one and all may enter at any time. To those who have inherited but few means, happiness Is quoted at a bargain price, altho its lustre and texture Is no less per- feet than that which the rich man must sell all his goods to obtain. A child comes Into the world minus one or more of the five senses and the sympathy of all Is extended. But losing the sense of sight In spired Milton's sublime sonnet on his blindness, and gave him a fuller view of the promised land than when he was able to see. When Edi son had his ears boxed to deafness the experience did not rob him of his birthright to happiness; In fact some argue that It enriched his life, and Helen Keller seems to have ex tended her deaf, dumb, and blind head further into the realm of hap piness than the average person who has all his faculties. So as far as being created equal is concerned, the proposition is still water tight. Though the pickpock ets report that purses are by no means equal In coin content, and though no two cradles inventory the same, all men are created equal when It comes to happiness. And if some have a paucity In stock, it might I be well to read on to where the Declaration 1 of Independence speaks of “the pursuit of happiness,” for in the final analysts If the ge- ometry books are correct, a proposi- tion is something to be proved, and any student of mathematics will say that they end their solution are lW( different things. CHURCH NOTES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES «J INREALITY" was the subject U of the lesson-Sermon In all Churches of Christ. Scientist, on Sunday, Oct. 7. Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which Is not? for riches cer- tainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven" (Prov. 23.5).
