the theology which is in books and
devote an equal time to Gods poor
=


devote an equal time to Gods poor
in your neighborhood.
When man gives cheer to another
persons heart the angels mysterious
ly put cheer into his own.
It is right and proper to pray,
"Give us this day our daily bread"
but God asks price for His answer,
and that price is that you shall give
some one else share of the bread
He gives you.
If you are suffering from an afflic-
tion what will yon do? How shall
you seek relief? By asking God to
Tighten your burden? No; by doing
what you can to Tighten the burden
of some equally troubled soul. II
you bring smile to the trembling
lips of another; you will soon dis
cover that a smile is alighting on
your own lips like a butterfly on a
flower.
Would you increase your faith !
Would you dissipate your doubts?
Would you convince yourself that
life is well worth living, even when
the shadows throw their. gloom on
your path9 Then visit those who
are wea1ily plodding along, hopeless
and friendless.
You will find yourself stronger by
forgetting yourself and saying a
kindly word to some poor creature
who would think he was in heavenly
surroundings if he lived under your
roof and enjoyed your advantages.
When you are in the presence OF
the Lord, who was Himself poor and
oppressed, and SO lonely that He
knelt in Gethsemane to ask for help,
you will be poorly off if you have
nothing better to say than that you
accepted all the creeds Of the Church
and kept yourself unspotted from
the world. But you will be well of
if you can assure Him that you kept
some one else unspotted from the
world at great pains and sacrifice.
Love God, love your neighbor,
obey the command, Feed my lambs,
and you will get warm welcome at
the end Of the journey after death.
It is not what you believe, but
what you do, that will entitle you to
a residence in the New Jerusalem.
You may be worth a million, but
if you have done nothing to make
the world better you will die a beg
gar.
You may be counted among the
poor, but if you have been brother
to your fellow men group OF angels
will gather about your bed and usher
you with songs into the presence OF
Him who said, "The first shall be
last. and the last shall be first"
No one ever yet loved God &C
ceptably who did not love His chill
dren.
There is no room in the House not
built with hands for soul that has
not made some sacrifice for others.
If you love your kind and mani
fest that love by generous deeds it
will be but a step from your grave
to Heaven.

The financial editor of the Georgia
Cracker has this to say on a leading
question:
"a dollar boarded is useless dol

wheels of commerce. Brother, take

self-same dollar may bring happiness
