HAPPINESS NOT EVERYTHING.
Me fail to reach any reasonable view oi this world if we consider that its purpose is to provide happiness. Creation has largely disregarded pleasure. Pleasure can afford no.clue to the meaning of the world, which is confessedly an imperfect world. If, however, we regard the world not as a workshop for creating happiness, or a home to enjoy it, but as a worktruth, then many difficulties disappear. In the world goodness can begin to grow. Indeed, it has been well said that an imperfect world is necessary to produce goodness. But to create these eternal things, to produce goodness involves struggle, pain, cross. It is by the daily dyings that we mount from the lower experience to the higher.”—The Dean of Manchester, in the “ Cambridge Review.’
