A good tree is known not by its
bark. but by its fruit.
A. good Christian is known by
what he does, rather than by what
he says--his bark.
The sinner who lives like d
christian is a better man than the
christian who lives like q sinner.
A good church member does not
attend church simply to be enter
tanned; but tries by earnest atten,
ton and interest to help swell the
tide of holy influence for the ben
eft Of others.
What is a church member worth
who never goes to church, never
prays, and don't pay?
When church member finds no
attractions at his own church the
devil has been whispering some
thing in his ears.
When christian loses interest
in religious literature, he had bet
ter use his sounding--lin the
shoals are not far of.
When q church member refuses
to help pay his pastors salary he
ought to be sa tisfed with any kind
OF sermon.
What would become of the coun-
Try il the pastors made no more
sacrifice, and took no more interest
in the church than the average
member does.
Has not your pastor as much
right to expect you to be in your
pew on the Lords day, as you have
to expect him to be in his pulpit?
Say "bud," if you will get your
heart full of Christianity you will
not see so many defects in your
pastor.
II you will take hold of the other
end Of the burden with your pastor,
brother. you will soon find that the
work he is doing for your church
is no chi.ds play.
Reader! he "honcst injun" for
once, and answer this question:
When you and yours get the bene-
fit OF religious services week after
week. and you never make an hon
est effort to help with your hands
nor your cash, which do you feel
the more like, a christian or a
hcathen?
What makes you close your eyes
with such pious resignation when
the contribution basket passes
you?
When you find fellow who
magnifios his pastors defects, and
criticises his own church, he is try
ing to poultice his own wicked
heart.
Don't never go up to your pas
tor and tell him you are in SYM
pathy with him, nor speak word
of appreciation of his work, it
might make him feel good, and,
possibly, it might give him the
big-head(?)
When you go to church look
cheerful and happy II will help
you; and, besides, it is not very
inspiring to the preacher to look a
fellow whose appearance reminds
him Of y turkey in the last stage Of
the cholera.
