been crippled the usefulness iol soo' ,n
the world that has been checked ny tne
retailing 'of evil SANDER throughout 'he
twelve hours OF the DAY:
Once more, think OF the hours consumed
in the pursuit of merely se'hsh pleasure
Indifferent to the bitter cry or outcast hu.
manity, callous to the great NORA neeas OF
the hour that come Knocking at our goors,
how many of us use up the twelve hours
in the pursuit OF schemes whose one Pul'
pose is for sell and SCI. atone; n"sE we
may be, but so busy with the ana'tS Oh sen
that we have no time to spend ior the CON,
mon good, for the needs OF man. or 'he
glory of God. Twelve hours! and an OF
them strangled upon the var OF seh-no'
one given up to God, to wing lts way up,
ward like incense .efore the eterhai throne
