to have a God only to swear by and
none to pray to.
| "A fellow has chance every dav to
make fool of himself and some are
doing it successfully too.
He'll is where selfshness reigns.
Heaven is where the unseltish Christ
spirit reigns in every life.
We need today mountain top Chris
tians who can descend into the low
lands of life with light and love.
The FREELY only shines when on the
wing. So we, as Christians, are
brightest when faith is in action.
The best thing to improve ones
looks is a good clean intelligent soul
behind the face just shining through.
Man and woman were made for COM
panionship, to help each other, with
equal rights. Alas, the day that one
takes the advantage of the other.
God never intends a round fellow to
fit in a square hole. When you go
Gods way, you will fit the place he
puts you.
Jesus did not say wilt thou be made
better, but wilt thou be made whole.
1t is the whole man that Jesus works
through and for.
Christ is bigger than any mans
creed. That is the reason he is every
mans Savior, for he is larger than
any mans needs.
A wellmade man only natures in a
holy determination. 81 must be about
my Fathers business was the key
note of Christ's life.
Some people are paying a mighty
sight more to get themselves ruined
for time and eternity than it could
ever cost to be saved.
The best thing to make a good CON-
plexion is inward light. Moses had it
when he came down from the mountain
-'He wist not that his face shone. -
Some Christians E? can be at home
in any church because they are no
good anywhere. Some are harder to
transplant because their roots are
deep.
If you really expect to go to heaven
you ought to cultivate some of the
heavenly mind here. One needs a
goodly amount of heaven TO take him
there.
The man in any line that will rise
to higher success in his occupation
must rise to a higher plane of sacrifice.
No cheap works will bring rich
rewards.
"But, sir, good purposes are a bit
like eggs, if they are not hatehed out
they soon run into decay The dis
| agreeable part of hell is old decayed
purposes.
I'd rather be a poor man in a garret
| with some books and good thoughts
than rich fool in in a palace. with no
hope, no food for the soul, no taste for
heavenly mama.
The man that does not want Christ
! is playing the hypocrite at an awful
rate. As if he did not need help to be
better, or power outside his own weak
will to keep him right.
I'd rathsr be blundering, hammer
/ ing, positive mortal-whole-h hearted #
not clear reverend
gentleman meek as milk and water ard
as soft as boiled squash.
| am afraid there are thOus ands who
would not want Christ for their pastor
/ if He were again in the flesh, and there
are many towns that would not elect
i Him to the most petty Office it has.
1t takes greater man or woman TO
do common work greatly than it
takes to do a great thing grandly. It
is easier to be swallowed by whale
than to be nibbled up by minnows.
A French infdel said to simple
| peasant: eve will tear down every
church and picture and demolish
everything that will remind you If

Trade to fight and you was frade to
run. A man ought to be afraid not
to do his duty.
, It's best to look on the bright side;
some seem to be more anxious to see
the bad side Of things than the good
side. There is always bright side.
. The bright side OF the moral universe
is heaven and the dark side is hell.

pleasant to him will set him to grum-
