DOES GOD WANT US HAPPY?
BY LEWIS LLEWELLYN
Does God want us to be happy? Or does He want His people to go through life with long faces
glnm splte of the contrary opinion which many people have of God’s nature, the Bible tells us In
manv places that God not only wants us to be happy, He wants us to be full of joy.
“Rejoice in the Lord always,” we read In the Scriptures, and -'rejoice evermore”. The Apostle
p f .tpr steaks of rejoicing “with joy unspeakable and full of glory”.
God’s plan and purpose for His people Is that they should be more than just happy, they should
be filled with a joy which Is “unspeakable” beyond the power of words to describe.
MANY HAVE JOY
Multitudes of people have experienced this joy. It Is a joy which does not depend on external
stimuli or happenings which might be expected to produce a temporary feeling of pleasure.
But God does not want anyone to get pleasure out of something wldch causes another person to
be miserable. Some sinful pleasures fall Into this category and are therefore forbidden.
Neither does He want us to get pleasure out of doing something which will later cause us to be
unhappy, or even miserable, ourselves. Some habits which produce temporary pleasure - or, at
least? relief from unhappiness - later inflict untold misery on great numbers of people.
Perhaps it is because God is against these sinful pleasures which produce misery and va
unhappiness that some have come to the conclusion that He doesn’t want anyone to have a good
time.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
The Bible says, speaking of God, that at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
NO JOY APART FROM GOD
We cannot have tlds pleasure and this joy, which God wants us to have. If we live apart from
God. This is why Jesus said, “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will
^Yot/ and I ~ every one of us — can have happiness and Joy as we accept from God the gift of
forgiveness and peace of mind. We can be truly happy as we walk In the way of the Lord.
The pleasures of this world, which bring sorrow and misery and sometimes shame in their
wake, are a sorry counterfeit of the real joy and happiness which God wants you to have.
The Bible contains God’s message to man. Do you read It regularly?

Wheeler I rges Home For Stille VtHiciiis

The Dept, of Veterans Ser

home painted. When that work
is completed “it’ll be more
livable, but the building will
still be obsolete,” Wheeler
said. “I will ask the 1967 Gen-

funds for modernization of the
Veterans Home or for funds

Limit On E and Bonds Increased
J. A. Garner, chairman of the
U.S. Savings Bonds volunteer
committee for Clayton County,
urges bond buyers to take ad
vantage of the new higher an
nual limitations on holding of
E and H Bonds which have
been announced by’ the Trea
sury Dept. The new regulations
provide that eligible purchasers
may own up to $20,000 ma
turity value, In Series E Bonds
bought In anyonecalendar year,
and $30,000, face value, In H
Bonds. Previous limits were
SIO,OOO and $20,000, respec
tively.
Calling attention to the fact the
Interest rate on Savings Bonds
was recently increased to
4.15%, Mr. Garner called the
new purchase limit “an unus
ual opportunity” for both Indivi
dual and Institutional Investors
to become “larger sharehold
ers in their country.”
Under Treasury regulations,
any resident of the U.S., or
citizens temporarily residing
abroad, may own Savings Bonds
in a choice of registrations:
single owner, co-owner, or be
neficiary. Where bonds are pur
chased In the names of two in
dividuals as co-cowners, each
may hold the maximum amount
of either E or H Bonds, or
both. Bonds may also be owned
by corporations, associations,
public or private organizations,
fiduciaries, and other investors
except commercial banks.
“U. S. Savings Bonds have al
ways been considered an ideal
Investment for the ordinary sa
ver,” Mr. Garner said, "par
ticularly because of their safe
ty, guaranteed return and tax
advantages. But I believe there

There’s Excitement
in the Seasons
and comfort in the home
with electric cooling and heating
In any season, even between-season seasons, the
happiest homes are those blessed with electric
cooling and heating.
Feel the first scorching blast of summer? Cool
it. A touch on the control of your electric cooling
system tames the temperature.
Feel a bite of blackberry winter? Muzzle it with
a nudge at the thermostat. Swiftly, silently, chill
is gone. Clean-gone, since no flame means no dust,
no smoke, no grime.
But happiest of all are homes equipped with a
flameless electric heat pump. Here’s cooling or
heating, as needed. Automatically. Simply set your
thermostat once to maintain your ideal year-round
climate. You never have to think about it again.
And that’s something to think about.
