BOOu pSopiS NILIbuL peIuS ASIpSA anu on the other hand you cannot meet bad people without absorbing some of their badness. Light and peace go hand in hand and in no other place are these two qualities more necessary and more helpful than in the home. Unselfish- ness is the key note to Christianity and our Lord teaches us the acme and height of unselfshness. Christ said I came not to minister, but to he minis tered unto Instead of trying to help God let us try to let God help us. He will do this and then we will be the better able to help others. It is by this help to others that we acquire strength. This unselfshness makes men and women of us.
 "A selfish man is like a poplar tree which shades and shelters only itself, or like an old fashioned piano lamp which sheds it's light only about it's own little sphere. A selfish mans motto is: Do unto others as you think they will do unto you, but do it first
 God calls good people beautiful and believe they are. What is more pitiful | than to see a beautiful woman who is not good growing old. would rather live with a good natured sinner than with a saint with bad temper. God bright ems all the world with a great burst Of light each morn and so He brigfterS the lives of those who want His Iove and light. Goodness is so splendid in it's nature that it transforms our very countenances. Many advertisements i tell women how to be beautiful, but not | one contains this little note: Looking good is good looking The old saying, Is s'Handsome is that handsome does IS good one for us all. Gods light spreads beauty over all the world and it affects men and women as well as all other nature. Light is the power and ;lflu- ence which makes all people look right because it makes them feel and think right. When the dark day of years ago made the people think that the world was coming to an end the Con- necticul legislature was in session. One gentleman arose and shouted that the end of the world was at hand. Then an old Yankee legislator arose and said: | Mir. Speaker: Let us have the candles brought in that we may have light and | that the Lord, when He comes, may l find us at our work TO give light and l to save life is the motto placed on all our light houses and so the Lord places
 the same motto upon us. God has made us lights to save lives.
 T do not deny that there are un- healthy Christians; neither do I wish to say that there are not mean Christians. There are such. and they would be meaner than the devil himself If they
 were not Christians. Gods light makes 1 them better than they could otherwise | he.
 "I believe that kindness, social atten- 1 tion, politeness, and showing reopia that you are glad to see them have won more people for Christ than all the
 learning of man. Light is universal. The lone tree in the far north says: Its my light" the palm tree, the wheat field, each says: Its my light" So
 should we accept Gods light as freely as do the trees and wheat fields, and obedience to Gods word, an acceptance | of His love- resolution to do better
 and confession of our faults will get for man this light
 Last evening Dr. Gallaher preached again in the same pulpit and the church I was crowded to overfiowing. Many expressions of desire were heard yesterday that MT. Gallaher | might speak soon in the large church in
 the center of the city where the accom-
 modations would be ample for all who wish to hear this popular and eloquent
 divine.
