Show WO MANS ; You who are young, intelligent and free, what is wanting for your happiness?. You are inspired wi th' hope, courage, faith in the future, but are not quite sufficient, unto yourselves.. You are too sensible to think that influence, or HttleJ brietlautority! oyer others; will, yield permanent happiness; what is it then that is wanting? Is i t love the force of affection? There is a relaUy.pplness. in kit j certainly, but where is the security of love,so infinitely precious and rare in its completeness, if all around us there is ardor; faithless friendand desire? unchaste There, is also a hapship in doing good, but then one cannot fail piness to see and be stung by the frightful insufficiency of the resources, and the inexhaustible mine of suffering. 'i;;.We might thus enumerato alltheelements of which Individ ual ha ppiness is and should have a more than enough examples and proofs to show, that if we have not the means of attaining happi-- . nesa within oursel ves, no amount of riches, or worldly wisdom, no virtue or strength of our own, no greatness of intellect or heart can confer it. And yet who would find happiness in self? Humanity is one being, there must bo a voluntary and solid bond between ourselves and others who compose the society in which we live; we must love our neighbors as' ourselves; must "do to others as wo would wish them ttf do to usUriily and jiot false) And when we reflect how far we fall short of this, how utterly remote we are from these vital conditions, we can realize in some small degree,' the magnitude of iho work we must achieve before we can attain that happiness wnichan exalted soul realizes in And yet there is a partiaL happiness within us, without us, and beyond usj let us exercise ourselves in the science of waiting; and since complete happiness seems to be the full devel opment of a great plenitude of exalted facul and all of ties, cultivate in ourselvcsy-cach: these essential tendencies.
