MEN'S BROTHERHOOD.

HAPPINESS: WHERE MAY IT BE FOUND?

'At tho meeting of the Men's Brotherhood yesterday afternoon an address on "Happiness" was delivered by Sir Robert Stout. The Mayor of Wellington (Mr. J. P. Luke) presided, and tho devotional exorcises were conducted by the Rev. ICnowlos Smith. Two solos were sung by Mr. W. Copeland, and Miss Lulu Arnold govo two recitals. Sir Robert Stout spoke on the subjcot of "Happiness," which, he said, was probably lying very much nearer to hand than was supposed. Suoh, ho said, had beon the motif of tho play "Tho Bluo • ir' l! 1 k° tafely seen produced m Wellington. The lesson of that play ( was that one did not need to go out of one s home to find it, and that true happiness at tho bottom was achieved only by self-sacrifice. Many peoplo sought pleasure in drinking and smoking, and going to/picture theatres. Ho did not wish to tay a word against moving nictures,, whiclr might be very instructing and inspiring at times, but was it necessary to go to theatres to seo pictures and other wonders? AYero there not pictures nil around? Had any of them ever contemplated the hues of the sunset? No such pictures could ho seen in tho thea- i tres; they could not be put on films. Ho ' enlarged alio upon the glories of the 1 heavens, the beauties of i\nture-the birds, I the bees, the trees, the flowers, and- tho gradeurs of mountain ranges capped wilh snow, sparkling in the sun. .Surely these things, usually pnsssd by unobserved, wero better worth seeing than all that one might soo by going from theatre to theatre in search of new pictures. This was the first lesson of "The Blue Bird." The second lesson was that no .true happiness could bo secured unless wo did something i?- r er<s * .If searched for "The Bluo J'fird happiness, for ourselves, if wo wero not prepared to give "Tho Blue Bird" away, we would find it die in our arms. He honed they would all search their pleasures in future where they would moro purely bo found, and especially in trying lo do something for others. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Sir Kobert Stout and others who had assisted with tho programme.

Slrange to say, tho old-fashioned method of external treatment of Rheumatism and its allied ills, is still almost a fotish with somo people. They seem to bciicvo I hat a liniment or plaster is tho only wav of obtaining relief from uric acid troubles— and so they got worse and worse until their Rheumatism becomes chronic. Liniments and piasters can give but temporary relief. No cure can be effected unlil tho cause is removed. The trouble is due to excess uric acid in tho blood and this must bo eradicated. JIHEUJIO is tho ono real remedy. It Roes to (ho root of (he trouble and expels Iho uric acid. Thousands have been curcd by HITKUMO. Of all chemists and stores, 2s. Od. ajid I is, Gd.—Advt, 52 I
