HAPPINESS BOOK
In a sermon based on the
title of Mrs. Bertrand Russell's
book, "The Right to Be Hap-
py," Rabbi Nathan Kress told
Congregation Emanu-El, New
York, that we have not only the
right but a duty to make our-
selves happy in the highest
sense of the term and to add
to the bulk of human happi-
ness. lie professes strong dis-
agreement with Mrs. Russell's
religious views.
"Mrs. Russell has no use for
religion," said Dr. Kress, "be-
cause she confuses religion with
religious expression. Of course,
it is a mistake to try to foist
our religion on other human be-
ings. It is useless to say that
every human being should be
happy in the same way. To
make them feel and look and
act alike is impossible. It is
futile to lay down a law and
say that everybody must do
this one thing. I feel that every
human being has a right to en-
joy himself in his own way, but
no one has a right to live in
such a way as to bring pain,
sorrow and misery on others,
and stunt the possibility for
higher development within our-
selves."
