FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from Laird Wingate Snell, Frederick J. E. Woodbridge, R. J. Campbell

[The New York Observer.]

Christ began the Sermon on the Mount with the words "Blessed, blessed, blessed;" that is, Happy, happy, happy. He was telling us how to be happy and to make others happy. All his preaching, from first to last, is telling us how to be happy and to make others happy. By happiness he means, of course, not happiness for a moment only, or for an hour or a year or a few years, but a long happiness here and hereafter. He made no distinction between here and hereafter. Life is one thing, going on for a little while in this room of the Father's house which we call this world, and then going right on forever in another room of the Father's house which we call the other world. Christ always regarded happiness in this world and the other world as one thing, and dependent upon the same conditions.
