GODERICH SIG NAI r-STAli, WEI)NE;SI MY. MAY 13,1961—PAGE 3A Ch appiness is iovingGod and other people BY THE REVEREND E. J. DENTINGER, PASTOR OF happy d Everyone agrees that it is ASHFIELD PARISH a common desire within allMinistei's" people to wish to be ha in u._. life. Also the happiness would include the feeling of contentment. A person's face never lies - it has been called a book wherein pian may read strange matters - and faces of many people reveal that they have not found either contentment or happiness in their life. Some turn to travel and go off to lakes, mountains or distant lauds, only to'find that there is no magic chest filled with happiness waiting for them, And, if they revel to escape personal problems, they soon find that they have car- ried them along with them, together with their bags. ' Many seek happiness in pleasure, for pleasure is often confused with hap- piness. Many are the doors that lead to pleasure but few there are that lead to hap- piness. There is a saying that hap- piness is seldom found in the tents of prosperity. One ex- ample of this is seen in the life of a man born near the LWML holds spring rally The Mitchell Zone Lutheran Women's Mis- sionary League (LWML) Spring Rally held Monday evening, May 4, at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Monkton, was attended by 121.

Like anyyouth with too much money in his pocket, he spent much of his time with the sons of other wealthy families and came to look upon life as a kind of revelry without meaning.

The story is told that dur- ing this period of his life, he. once passed a leper while riding along the road. In the middle -ages, lepers were seen quite often in Italy.
