We dare to assert also that Christian
ity, with its warning to live honestly
because there is another life in which
we must give an account of ourselves,
contains the highest spiritual truth that
the mind Of man ever contemplated
The kernel of corn which produces an
ear of corn is true corn. The apple seed
which produces an apple tree is true
seed. The idea which develops all the
noblest qualities of manhood is a true
idea. We Judge from results, and it is
safe to do so.
With the spirit of Christ in your heart
and the principles He announced in
your life you are ready for any fate.
Your days come and go, bearing in their
arms whatever experience God sees fit to
send, and when the last one has been
counted you lie down, saying, at is not
the end, but the beginning" Death
rings your bell and you bid him well
come, for he is only the doorkeeper who
ushers you across the threshold of the
present into the palace of eternity. New

standing before the stores and on the
corners laughed at us and some called us
devils" AS we proceeded the crowd
increased, yelling, hooting, running by
us and stopping in front to stare in our
faces, creating a hubbub on the street.

1t is a curious fact that the proportion OF
