RAMS Horn Blasts.

Every dollar some men get, increases
their chance of missing Heaven.
Obscurity on earth will not keep any
body from becoming famous in Heaven
The man who walks with God, must
keep step with everything that is good.
The more mean man has to say in
church, the more it hurts the cause of
true religion.
Find man who loves God with all
his heart, and he will be found working
for Him with all his might. = Rams
Horn.
