'Iihe step to it-he fulfillment! of the above prophecy is but n short one. Tile coal supply is not' only becoming scarce -but it.-t pro- duction is being seriously handl- capped by labor troubles find mono- polies. The t-mtverslon of coal ln the earth to fuel, Inuit and lbiht: -before raised lo the sllrfare is :\_ question. for the sclent-l~its, und nothing is illrposslble to st\ienct>. The use of oil fuel for ships has -been lntrodfucetl within th__c_ past' few years and already some of 'uhei greatest of ocean lincrs- are equip-I ped with this power.

What is the quest? Whitt is the object of the rapid pace. the pace rapid a-lmost to the verge `nf mak- ness? Ilupplnt-ss. Yes the man iu the mad ru.=-h is actually rush- ing madly for happiness. This nl- so was his quest when he and the world moved more slowly; this was -the quest when he wus at painted savage in the wilderness hen he hunted his mate with n ‘-1 '.1 lull, when he earned his daily bread by over-vollling his neighbor. Il is the our-_t-t still :md shall be till the end of time, shall be till he finds it in the grave. Some have found happiness hut. not hy means of at 'mad rush, not through the attainment of wealth not through the piling up of debris which some day he must leave behind him. lt .has been well said that “lla.pplness is a by-product". It is not purchzl.sa.ble, .it is won, not directly as a prize is won by hard O onupetitive work. It. comes rath- er as the flower and the leaves and the grass come through the mellowlng influences of warm show- ers and sunshine. lt springs from the lbeart _th-at is mellowed lby kindly deeds, -by helping others, by making others happy. We seek happiness in wealth, .in fame, in -public and ostentatious benefaction, and to attain them we sacrifice comfort. home, love. We attain these or the measure of these only to find that we have left our happiness behind us and the wealth and the fame and the plaudits are but ashes grasped by dying (hands and the quest is over. The world ‘has -gone mad in its quest for happiness, not because happiness Ls a far off goal that must be attained through stnlggle, but because it is seeking it on the wrong road because in the fev- erish modern scramfble it imagines happiness is somlething external and purchasable.
