Dallas (Tex.) News

Some one has asked most significantly, "What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?" And another says, "To rejoice in the prosperity of another is to share it." Even a good deed that is done without sacrifice is robbed of much of its beauty, for where there is no spirit of self-sacrifice there is no love, and where there is no love, and where there is no love God is absent. Every need is an opportunity for helpfulness and therefore an opportunity to make two happy—he who gives the help and he who receives it. If there were no need there would be no sacrifice, and without sacrifice there would be few opportunities for the manifestation of love. Browning admonishes us, "Desire joy, and thank God for it. Renounce it, if need be, for others' sake. That's joy beyond joy."
