and the third section is chapters 6, 7, and 8

up to verse 15. And what do we have in

chapters 6, 7, and 8 before we get to this

conclusion? We have mourning and sorrow

and sadness and madness and oppression

and evil, and I just picked out a few terms

that are in those chapters. So here's the

conclusion, chapter 8, verse 15: “Then I

commended mirth, because a man hath no

better thing under the sun, than to eat, and

to drink, and to be merry: for that shall

abide with him of his labour the days of his

life, which God giveth him under the

sun.” So here's the conclusion: Mirth, not

foolish laughter, not sitting around laughing

at the stupid sitcoms and stuff on television,

but to actually enjoy the things of God.
