/ Aoos "ihteF went 10 near
Evangelist Harrison. After talking
aoout thIee- quarters Of ny hour he said
he wasn't called to peach that evening
and still held his text written on a paper'
which he took from his pocket So"
Gays Rev. Smith, N take my text from
my pocket" He held up something
he had found on the ground In lie
| WOODS. What are thesel Ans. Acorps.
NOW, three little acorns arc my text. lie
fecltes talk between little children, tell.
ing their wants and hopes, and asks them
to name the acorns.
No. l. l call little "Idler."
No. .. Proud"
No. y. "Worker."
No. wants to stay on the limb.
NO. wants 10 fall on the ground and
grow to be q big oak tree,
NO. says l don't want to stay here. 1
want to be planted In very large field
and grow very large, so as to lodge the
birus, shade the farmers cattle, etc, etc.
NO. / remained on the limb. A young
squirrel takes 1t 10 the trunk of q tree
and eats 1t. The old hull was left but
wouldn't grow. Now take look at No.
l.. Ho holds 1t up It's only a hull.
ldiers catch moral denunciation from
tne speaker. God has no place In his
iuT hu lultf.
He takes No. and holds It up to Illus
'ratc proud people. No. 2 fell In an un-
seasonable time 10 the ground. The
ground was frozen and IL Could not eet
In. A little worm bored in and the
kernel was found to be rotten.
Now No. "Worker." 1t is a very
little acorn, but mighty. The Lord
always favors those who want to do
some GOOD In this world. A little souIr-
rel carried 1t away and laid 1t In the
ground as part of his winter store. But
no lost the place OF deposit. 1t grew,
A little tree grows. It grows Ligeer and
bigger until 1t gets It's wish In full. It's
doing good In the world. A little eirl
had recited: ITO let your light shine. :"
just so like No. 8. Now all who want
TO DO like No. raise your hands. None.
Now No. 2. None. Now No. 8. All
hands go up. They ell wish to work.
1t was felicltous and emphatic in
struction and was listened to apparently
by an audience OF some Q. 500 people,
Rev. V. s. Collins: hope next year
you Will come again. Now be good and |
give your hearts to Jesus. We take our |
good-by service now.
