Penguin Proves Expensive Pet When schoolboy Errol Berry found an injured penguin ly- ing "mak and gasping on a quay of Cape Town docks, he took him home and bathed the deep red wounds in the bird's white waistcoat. Three days later Errol had to raid his moneybox to pay for fish for his Antarctic house guest. The bird begar gobbling up 6 lb. per day, scorning salt c cod and insisting on fresh fish. And when Errol's parents re- fused to pay for further ra- tions, the boy sadly took the penguin and set him free. The bird swam around, fish- ing voraciously. But when he had finished his meal he SWUM back to the schoolboy: To -day, Errol is ;mining wide- spreod publicity as the school- boy with the world's strangest pet.

Matthew The beotitudes form the opening part of our Lordee Ser- mon on the Mount. He gave this message in the early part of hie ministry. 11 might he celled his manifest o. -Blessed' meane 'happy.' Billy Graham's book of sermons 011 these beatitudes is well called, The Secret of Happiness. Everyone wants happiness in this life but comparatively few are finding it. Isaiah asked, "Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Millions of dol- lars are spent. each month in the vain pursuit of happiness. Actually, if we make happiness the object and goal of our life we will miss it. But if we turn from our sins and let Jesus Christ be Lord and Saviour of our life and follow on' to love and serve Him we shall ex- perience continual happiness. That does not mean that life will always be smooth sailing. But we shall know that we are safe with Christ on board. We will have zest for climbing rug- ged hills when our face is al- ways turned Godward. We shall be happy even when we are re - riled and persecuted. A holy contentment will pervade our lives; not the contentment of self-satisfaction or stagnation but that which is born of sturdy faith and a sure con- fidence that God is leading and the end will be glorious. The world's tyrants' who strutted for a time didn't real- ize that to be humble, meek and merciful Nes the way of happiness. If they had they would have been peacemakers instead of war mongers. They would have sought righteous- ness and a pure heart. The greatest Helms and hap- piness is available to all. Let 00 read the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7. Before we can live this life we must be born of the Spirit of God. With a new heart we will have happiness as we delight to walk in God's way.
