When n mans tracks point toward

The first mile toward hell often looks

You cannot always tell who is in the

Church members who never smile do

When Jesus said three times, ut is

If sin of every kind could be seen IN

1t is easy to lead a Christian h1e
only when it is made the first business
of life.
It is because there are so many highly
respectable sinners, that sin is so dan
'gerous.
When a sinner is dying he finds no
comfort in counting the hypocrlteS ID

On the day a man finds out that he Is
