HAPPY HEART Neither hath it entered into the heart of man what
things are prepared for them that love Him. The Joy or Our Life
Happiness?an Essential Impulse HAPPINESS is the possession and
enjoyment of good. The pursuit of happiness is the occupation of

the same goal by hurling himself to death. Happiness is the
motive-power of mankind. Happiness?an Impulse Towards God Where
does this universal, perpetual, invincible tendency come from and
what does it mean? There is only one hand which can implant so
deeply and so widely in man, and that is the hand of the
Creator,...
