Shall issue out in heavenly day

of none-Carlyle.
Come unto me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and | will give you rest

What doth it profit man if he shall
gain the whole world and lose his own

Our government, both local as well as
national, needs to stand upon a firm moral

"An honored bishop loves to tell the
story that when as young man, he had
charge of weak parish loaded with debt,
he preached and took collection for

was nailed to the front of the building,

The practice of carping at ones preacher,
opens before the average church member
or the average church goer such possibil-
tiles of evil doing as are practically attain
able by the average man or woman
through no other method-,of persistent
devil serving. And carping at the
preacher is means of evil doing that is
open to a person who is far below the
average in any ordinary congregation, as
well as to those persons who are far above
that average, It requires less ability, and
it is likely to compass more harm than any
other form of social SHINING. -,SundaQ
