Happinessis the reward of right living | i So iJO They ^yilla Decided to make their’s a happy home The desire to live right, think right,. Jdo right is inherent in the breast of all mankind. Putting it off until tomorrow —or next week—however, is the appeal of evil which would defeat the inspiration—if it could. Tomorrow’s search for happiness is always just 24 hours removed from realization. To young or old the lesson is—“START TODAY.” Make the resolve now to give some time every week to inspiration and development of your soul, —so that you may learn to fully express the love and the good that is in you. Regular attendanre at church is the first step toward right livmg. Happiness—REAL HAPPINESS follows. Go to Church Sunday^ this Sunday
