Clerk-Treasurer Village of Blyth own, but tn many cases marriage ends and happiness is lost. Many think material possessions and power will bring happiness only to find themselves miserable because of the pressure it brings. Still others think that good health will lead to happiness but fmd themselves spiri­ tually sorrowful. Rev. Ramirez emphasized that true happiness comes with the real­ ization that we need to search for God's love and mercy - then we have to be open to what God has to offer to us. Jesus never condemned wealth but He found that it put peo­ ple in shells. Instead we should search for something deeper. When we become that open, we will be rich spiritually. It comes in know­ ing and doing what God's will is for us when we declare to Him our sor­ row. He will help us fmd our path.
