HAPPINESS
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for
theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."
Never in the history of the world
has such a sermon been preached as
was delivered by Jesus Christ when
he gave, to his close followers and
those who had gathered together
after He had healed. their sick, that
famous "serrnon on the Mount." We
can visualize Him going .up on the
Mount and sitting there looking at
those close to Him and those who
were farther away.As his .gaze
,
wandered from one •to another He:
must have thought that every one
who was there must have been seek-
ing happiness M. some form or an-
other and so He began His talk, to
them on the Beautitudes which begins
with the opening quotation, "Blessed
are the • poor 'in spirit; for theirs is
the Kingdom of Heaven." . .
Can we thinkfor one instant of
anything which would bring happi-
ness to any one more thanthe thought
of spending Eternity in the Kingdom
of Heaven. Just what does happiness
'mean? In simple words we might
say it is contentment with gladness.
We cannot really be happy out-
wardly if we are not glad and joyous
in our hearts. There are people who
say that they have to appear happy
to cover up some heartbreaking
trouble. It may be they think' they
are succeding, but to a student of
human nature there is something
about - them which reveals the feet
that. they are not happy.
There is practically no one who is
happy all the time. We may be
joyous one moment and think that
the future looks very .• bright for us
but in the space of a few minutes
• all is darkness', some tragedy has
come into our lives, Many of thesethings have come into the homes of
our fellow citizens within the last
few weeks especially where little
children have been called home sod-
- denly through fire.
To be poor in spirit does not mean:
that we are to underestimate our
ability, but it does lead us to believe
that we must be humble, teachable
and childlike and that we must be
ready to accept our Saviour as our
Guide. i
We cannot enter the Kingdom of
Heaven if we have not this poverty of
spirit.
Froin our childhood days We have
been taught that "Pride goeth before
• destruction and a haughty manner
before a fall." That is true in all
walks of life. Many times people
have fallen heir to an estate and
they haye forgotten the friends whom.
they had when they were in poor
circumstances. They have risen in
society and in nine cases out of ten
some tragedy has' befallen them and
they were more than pleased to come
back to those who had befriended
them before riches became theirs. Let
us make that old-fashioned motto:
if such we wish to call it, a rule of
our lives. Some of the most wonder-
ful people of today, Tire those who
hold high positons but who have re-
mained humble.
Everyone has a desire to be happy.
We cannot describe what the feeling
of happiness is, but we know what a
delightful sensation it gives us. If
we are happy we can tackle any
kind of work that comes our way,
but if we are lacking -that element,
life in all its phases is a drudgery.
We cannot say that all fortunate
people are happy, nor tan we claim
that all, unfortunate people are un-
happy. Some of the happiest people
in the world are those who are handi-
eapped or those who have gone
through serious trouble. Why should
that be the case? The majority of
them have walked close to Godand
have found in Him their support.
They believe that He will take their,
hand and wily lead their to follow
out His, will. This will • eventually
lead them to the promise which He
has given them to spend the Eternal
ages in the Kingdom of Heaven.
In what way do we find our chief
source of happiness? If we are in
trouble of any kind what is the first
thing We will usually do? Why worry,
of course; and where does that lead
us? We have come to learn that it
gets us nowhere, We 'have all at
some time or other proved the truth
of that statement. Worry is one of
the chief 'th'ings' which will take the
joy out of life. Then what should we
do when we are in difficulty or in
sorrow? ,
So often we hear people say, "When
I feel that unhappiness is my lot S
find. some hard work to do and I
keep at it. That is the only way I
can keep; from worrying. There is
nothing like introspection to keep a
person down and unhappy. The quick-
er we realize that there are many
others who ate worse off than we
are the sooner we will have a keener
sense of happiness,
peter was happy to be a friend of
Jesus Christ and yet he was proud in
spirit. We have as an example, that
occasion in which Jesus said to his
disciples, "All ye shall be offended
because of Me this night." Peter de-
nied this saying, in so many words,
that others might forsake Jesus but
he never would', caliming that he
would die for Him rather than for-
sake Him. We believe that Peter
meant this at the time and yet when
Jesus needed hint most he forsook
Him and 'denied that he ever knew
Hint. How unhappy he was following
that. We judge Peter and yet we do
the saute thing day after day. Fol-
lowing this no one was more anxious
to teach humility to others than was
this same Peter. He had learned a
lesson which we all need to profit by.
No one has any right to feel super-
ior to any one else. Someone has
given the quotation, "God must have
loved the common people he made so
many of them" Are we not proud
to belong to the humble class like
our Saviour?
Dr. Robert Speer saidon his return
froin India. that he could tell the
native christimns by the lightton their
faces. The late Dr. G. C. Morgan
told of a factory girl in England who
had given her heart to Christ. One
day she was walking up and down
the platform of a railway station
waiting for her train when a lady of
title, wealth and culture called to her
from a standing train, "What makes
you look so happy?" The girl told
her story with the result that the
questioner was led to Chri t.
There is no real happiness until
Synthetic Rubber Otays
In Use For Some Time
Says Goodyear President
A large percentage of synthetic
rubber will cpntinue to be used for
some time, although icnreasing sup-
plies of natural rubber are expected
during 1946; it was announced Tues;.:
day by Al G. Partridge, President of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Cbmp-
any of Canada, Limited, at the annual
meeting of the company shareholders.
The available natural rubber stock
is still far short of requirements, he
declared, but enough synthetic rubber
is produced in Canada to supply ail
demands:
For the fiscal year ending DecemL
be 31, 1945, the company showed a
net profit of $1,385,959, as compared
with.a net profit of $1,352,800 for the
year 1944; Net earnings for the year
were equivalent to $4.30 a share on
the 257,260 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as compared with $4.14
a share in 1944.- -
During the year, net expenditures
for additions to buildings and equip-
meht amounted to $1,461,623. Work-
ing capital at Decemlber. 31, 1941
amounted( to $9,526,558 slightly
greater than working capital at the
close of 1944. '
Unanimously re-elected to the
Board of Directors were P. W. Litch-
field, chairman; A. G: Partridge, O.
H. Carlisle, R, C.' Berkinshaw, P. A.
Thomson, P. E. H. Leroy, and L. J.
Thomas,
we give ourselves completely to Jesus
Christ . and allow Him to rule our
lives, If we just trust our :future
to Hint Ile will bring happiness into
our souls,'
We cannot have the true happiness
which comes with the love of our
Saviour unless we give Him the first
place in our 'lives and when we have
done that we will receive the. full
enjoyment of it only as we pass it on
to others.
"A patient trust in Providence
To sweeten all the way,
All these combined with thoughtful-
ness
Will make a happy clay."
The foundation of our belief must
be in Christ Jesus. We can lose
everything else and still "be happy
in. Him." A noted Bishop was visiting
a hospital in Surrey and was talking
to a patient whose home had been
badly bombed and she had been ser
iously injured. She said to the Bishop,
"Minister, I've lost everything, I've'.
lost my man, Pve lost my bits of.
sticks, I've lost my home—I've lost
everything." After a pause she ad-
ded, "Minister, I've told you a lie."
'How's that"? asked the Bishop.
The old woman replied, "Help me
turn over." When he had done as she
requested she pulled out from under
her pillow a little faded linen parcel
from which she produced a well -
thumbed Bible, saying, "I told a lie,
I've got this to begin my new home
with."
Is the word .of God the foundation
of ;.our life and mine? If it is we
can be assured that these words be.
long to us individually, "Blessed are
the poor in spirit: for theirs is the
Kingdom of Heaven."
"Take the world but- give ire Jesus;
He alone can satisfy,
Take the world but give me Jesus,
'Neath His cross I'ii live and die."

WORK. PROGRESSING
NEW BREEDS POULTRY
Work of the .Poultry Division,
Dominion Experimental Farms Ser-
vice, on the creation of new breeds
of poultry to meet specific require-
ments is progressing favourably. The
work centres round twoobjectives—
the creation of a so-called "Large
White" breed possessing white feath-
ers for ease in breeding to a uniform
or standard feather; white flesh, so
that the bird may obtain milk -fed
grading, so far as the colour of the
skin is concerned; fast feathering for
ease in plucking and to speed the
moult; and white eggs for uniformity
for marketing. No existing breed
possesses all of the above combina-
tion and it would appear that there
is a definite place for such a breed
in commercial meat and egg produc-
tion. The second objective is the
creation of a white feathered, white,
fleshed, broad breasted breed to be
used mainly for meat •purposes. Pro-
gress in the two breeds is reported to
be entirely satisfactory.

1945 POTATO CROP
BELOW 1944 MARK
BY 875,000 CWT.
The 1945 potato acreage,in Ontario
was estimated at 116,000 acres, with
total production of 7,633,000 cwt.,
it is reported by It. E. Goodin, potato
fieof Aldmgriancplture. for the Ontario Department
This is 4,000 acres and 875,000 cwt..
lower than the 1944 production • re-
cord. In 1944, 711 earloads of potatoes
were exported to the United States
and increased amounts supplied for
home consumption. Unusual and un-
favourable weather conditions were
largely responsible for the average
decreased yields, although a new of-
ficial record for yield in the Province
was established by John Vanderhorst,
Fort Frances, who secured '684
bushels per acre. Severe insect in-
jury caused heavy loss in some sec-
tions and late blight also: caused loss
in scattered areas. Limited amounts
of DDT were available late'• in the
growing season and successfully
controlled , leaf hoppers,' flea beetles,
coloredo potato beetles and to some
extent aphids were used. Marked
progress was made in cleaning up
bacterial ring.i'ot,
A :period of acute scarcity ochurred
during the late spring an<l early
summer. Keen demands prevailed for
both seed and table stock from the
1945 crop and most Ontario growers
sold early. Heavy importations ar-
rived.froin the United States to sat-
isfy demanr s.
There is a noticeable tendency for
si:ceialization of the. crop and the
use of mac` 1'nery on a co-operative
or custom bads. Many farmers who
have not suitable soil. labour and
equipment have dropped out of com-
mercial production. Increased amounts
of fertilizer are being used, The
acreage passed for certification was
the highest in th history of the
Province anil more 'l:an 700 acres
,wove the prcvi sus year.
