CHESTER SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1925. 'FIVE "7 A PAGE DEVOTED TO THE "GOOD NEWS EVERY RELIGION THE QUEST FOR HAPPINESS By REV. 'JOHN I. MECK Pastor Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Who does not want happiness? The desire for it seems to be But how true it is that so many fail in attaining the desired goal. Some think they can gambit by "securing and thus find happiness.

In many instances the very reverse is found, What a sad chapter in human life is the one that portrays the disappointment of those who trust in riches. Of these Christ seia, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the 0m of God." If people of wealth find happiness, they have it in spite of their wealth and not by means of it. Then there are those who seek happiness in pleasure. Their motto is, "Let us eat, drink and be merry." But happinecs that comes from, pleasure is not lasting. It is like the for a moment bright and beautiful and then dead, and gone forever.

In the Sermon on the Mount, found in its fullest form in the fifth and sixth chapters of St. Matthew's Gospel, we have the key to real How'different is the happiness promised by Christ. There is the element of eternity about it. ptrange as it may seem, real happiness is to be found in the Very places-and conditions which the world would shun. For example, Jesus says, "Happy are they that mourn." Does the world pronounce any such benediction over the bowed headland the crushed heart and the saddened life? Can the world enter the sick room and into the chamber of death and give comfort to the sorely afflicted? Yet the Master can say, "You shall and lament but your sorrow shall be turned into joy." The world does not have any beatitude for the meek.

It M'rites meakness down among the unmanly The meek rnan is lacking spirit, we say. The manly man, after the world's standard, is one who will not bear insult or injustice. The rnaply man is one who gets even, who retaliates. But does not this spirit produce strife, contention, conflicts and war; in fact, anything but happiness? Thus all the maxims of Christ are in direct contrast with the spirit of the world and those who are seeking happiness will only secure it by obeying the laws of the spiritual kingdom. In the 'prayer, "Thy kingdom come," our desire is to establish Christ's kingdom on earth.

This kingdom will at last transform this world into a realm of happiness. SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION HERE Carlisle L. Hubbard, of Wilmington, to Be Convention Speaker The sixth annual convention of the Chester City District of the Delaware County Sabbath School Association will he held In the local T. M. C.

The "no" votes ot the members of the Cheater Presbytery wero cast by those who could he termed very conservative ns well as those ot the liberal clement. The bringing tip of Ihe overture In tho last meeting of the Chester Presbytery caused a.

tense feeling to reign among its members for several minutes while the subject, was being discussed. Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, a. leader of the New York Modernists, scoffs at the overture lo "exscind" the Now York Presbytery, which Is being sent up by the Presbytery of Chester. "It Is nol to be taken seriously." Dr.

Coffin says, "and besides it is doubtful whether a general assembly can legally exscind a Presbytery. The Chester Presbytery's overture may go through to the permanent Judicial commission, but it is unthinkable thnt any largo body of sano persons will deliberately vote to dlvido the Presbyterian clnnVh." The New York Modernists are confident that a majority ot the- conservatives will not vote to "oxsclml" New York Presbytery. Tito church large, they say, Is not ready a drastic step. New York Presbytery hopes to divert attention from the. doctrinal controversy by presenting a memorial to the general assembly, asking the assembly to Instruct Its permanent Judicial commission to determine what are the powers of Presbyteries in the mallei- of tlio admission of candidates to the Prcsby-.

Wells says that one of ME chief reasons for bellavlns ill Christian Endeavor Is because it Is modeled on ilia churoh. Speaking on this subject Mr. Wells says: "Some liava wished that Christian Endeavor wero moi'o imaginative, mora fanciful, more romantic In Its appeal. The present writer has In the past entertained that wish, and looked with tidiu.lrn.Uon at the military parades ot tha Boys' Brigade, Utu solemn thrones nnd regalia ceremonies uf tho Knlghu of Kins Arthur, the camp-fires nnd Indian customs and costumes of Uio Boy Scouts nnd Cilrl Scouts, and the mystic rites ot the. boys' division of tlie Masonic But, though he still studies these organi- sations with Interest, nnd recognizes their many fine admirable influence, yet ha Is IncrfltiR- insly grateful that Christian ISn- Uoavor Is formed on lha simple mid nrosaiis pattern which It has chosen from tho beginning.

"For the model ot the Christian Bndcavor oignniv.ution la that ot the church, for whoso work our society irt Induing the young people. Its officers anil committees and mefltltiBK. Its rules of order, its social activities, Its alms, and the multiform labors tliol it undertakes, all run exactly parallel lo thoso of the church. When inn Kntlfiiivorpr, after snnia years spout In tho Christian Emlenvor so- clply, Is graduated and passes into the mattiro labors of the church, he Jlmls himself thoroughly prepared for them. Ho does not need lo adjust himself to strange methods and unfamiliar forms nnd procedures.

Ho a Immediately nnd fully at Ho hiul a practical training for Iho church find its work, such as he could not have Rained in nny of these other organizations, however poetical nnd Inspiring their work may be. ni.d however It may catch the imagination of youth. "But Christian Endeavor does not yield lo any other organization even in Ilia matter ot romance. It appeals to tho young life most, powftr- fully, nnd they flock lo its standards In far larger numbers than to Ihoso apparently more Imaginative, organizations. It maintains a lifetime grasp upon their aftectlonn, so that old as well ns young love, our society and wish to keep some, connection with II.

Why is this? Ihlnlt It ia because youth IB always ready to recognize Iho romance Inherent in high Ideals nnd dlfheult undertakings. It Is a fundamental error that made, by perhaps the tha professional and ncademlo religious educators of today that ihey follow the youth instead of leading them, study them instead ot challenging them, mid'set them to playing instead of to the mastery of difficulties and the strenuous pursuit of lofty alms.
