"Shade and Shine

Following are a few gems
from DR.. Wayland Hoyt's new
book:
Everyone should cherish the
best ideals IN whatever depart
ment OF life he may stand or
work. There is a best even
amid thai which men call lowli-
est. Some people say they will
have the best ideals when they
get out of their present circum-
stances and can get their hands
on some more stately Office. You
can find gold in gravel. Be de-
termined to see high possibilities
even amid the common stones of
the most everyday work and Cir
cumstances and you will soon be
wanted for work and place less
common.
Sunday newspapers are in
every sense wrong. In this
worldly world it is hard enough
anyway to produce the unworldly
life, and Sunday is the day set
apart for the nurture of tho spir-
itual life.
The ruggcdest fact in these
lives of ours is the fact of temp
tation. No man escapes.
No man Is too strong to fall.
The man vigilant toward his own
weakness and so dlstrustful of
himself that he keeps hearthold
upon higher power is the man
ikeliest not to fall.
Oh, it is a most gracious thing
to go through life not stinting
sympathy, but wealthily yielding
1t and in the right time.
There arises from all parts of
the world at the morning and
evening, and through the labors
of the day perpetual incense of
alteration and of petition; it con-
tains the sum of the deepest |
wants of the human race, In It's
fears and hopes; it's anguish and |
thankfulness; it is ladened with |
slghs, with tears, with penitence,
with faith, with submission; the
broken heart, the bruised spirit,
the stifled murmur, the ardent |
hope, the haunting fear, the
darling wish, the child's
SIMPLE prayer, all the burdens of
the soul, all wants and desires,
nowhere else uttered, meet to-
gether in that sound of many
voices which ascends in the ears
of the Lord God of hosts. And
with all these cravings
and utterances is one other voice, one
other prayer, their symphony, their
melody, their accord. Deeper than all
these, tenderer than all these, mightier
than all these, is the One who knows
us better than we know ourselves, and
loves us better than we love ourselves,
and who brings all these myriad, fragile
petitions into one prevalent intercession
purified by his own holiness, and the
hallowing power of his work.
Comfort is from forts, which means
strong, and from com, which means
with one. And the true meaning of
comforter is not one who shall lull you
but one who shall grid you, who shall
be strong with you that you may be
strong.
l have been used for many years. to
study the history of other times, to ex-
anime and weigh the history Of other
times, to examine and weigh the evil
dences of those who have written about
them, and know of no one fact in the
nlSCOTy OI HlduhIuO WHICH Is proven
by better and fuller evidences of every
sort to the mind of fair inquirer than
that Christ died and rose again from
the dead. And the resurrection of
Jesus Christ is the historic certainty
that beyond death there is another life.
that death is not wall, rather only a
door.
