THE SECULAR SERMON.
SEED THOUGHTS.

A kind heart and a ready hand help to
make the world better.
Fortune is not always happiness, nor
is fame the highest success. To love
God with all your heart, and your neigh
Dor as yourself, is the highest living.
Men may laugh you out of doing right
but they cannot laugh you out of the
consequences of doing wrong.
Sin and its results are not vanquished
by other mems sneers.
II love could take the place of hate in
the hearts of men and kind words and
kind deeds supercede unkindness in hui
man life, the world would draw near the
Millennium.
