The theme. of Rev. Cameron's even-
ing discourse was the !‘happitiess of
iacrifice", in which he pointed out the
path of real joy was the path of the
Cross. We all want to be hippy he
said, but the pity of it is that we
are asking what to do to,be happy. V
Some seek happiness in many ave-
nues he said, citing the theatre, dance
sport,„faine and power. In these

they wouldn't be followed, but to find
real happiness we must think in terms
of others. Happiness in its highest
is found as our lives are expressed
the lives of others. We cannot
find,happiness in, Self-seeking, he ad-
ded, and this is true in the church
life. To be a happy congregation, the
congregational life, its work and in
fluence •mtist be , felt in the Mission
