Where Is Happiness?"Where
is Happiness?" asked Clarence Edward McCartney. He analyzes the answer to
his own question below. Not
in Unbelief. Voltaire was an infidel of the most pronounced type. He wrote,
"I wish I had never been born." Not
in Pleasure. Lord Byron lived a life of pleasure, if anyone did. He wrote:
"The worm, the candor, and the grief are mine alone." Not
in Money. Jay Gould, the American millionaire, had plenty of that. When dying he
said, "I suppose I am the most miserable man on earth." Not
in Position and Fame. Lord Beaconsfield enjoyed more than his share of both: He
wrote, "Youth is a mistake, manhood, a struggle; old age, a regret." Not
in Military lore. Alexander the Great conquered the known world in his day.
Having done so he wept in his tent because, he said, "There are no more
worlds to conquer." Where,
then, is happiness found? The answer is simple: in Christ alone. He said,
"I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man
taketh from you" (John 16:22).
