something we are to do for one another
In the way Of courtesy and good will
Let us train ourselves to see positive
opportunities for actual kindly helpful
things we can do for others to make
them happier. In Christian service we
can help one another In all ways-not
In many ways merely, but in all ways.
There Is no way in which the true
Christian spirit cannot be helpful to
others. We can do it by suggestion
where we see something helpful to
suggest. We can do it by praise where
we see something worthy Of praise
We can do 1t by encouragement when
we see some one ready to despair. We
can do 1t by cooperation where we
see some one needing assistance.

The longer on this earth we live
And weigh the various qualities of men,
Seeing how most are fugitive,
Or ftful gifts, as best, of now and then,

The more we feel the high manufactured
beauty
or plain devotedness to duty,
Steadfast and still, nor paid with mortal

but finding amplest recompense
For iife's ungarlanded expense
IN work done sQuarely and unwasted

We Amt A-Scairt o. Pa.


Us boys amt scairt O Pa so much,
He only makes noise,
An says he never did see such
Onmanageable boys.
But when Ma looks around see
Just somethin' long an fat
An always make q point to DO
Some better after that.
Pa promises an promises,
But never does a thing;
But what Ma says she does she does,
An when go to bring
Her slipper or her hair brush when
She says she'll dust my pants,
think l could be better then
If had one more chance.
Pa always says mex time at he
Will have a word to say,
But Ma she is more apt to be
A-doin' right away;
Pa turns around at US an glares
AS fierce as he can look,
But when we're out Of sight upstairs
He goes back to his book.
Ma doesn't glare as much as Pa,
Or make as big fuss.
But what she says Is law Is law,
And when she speaks to us
She's lookin' carelessly around
FIR something long an fat,
And when we notice it we're bound
To be good after that.
So we amt scairt O. Pa at all,
Although he thinks we are;
But when we hear Ma come an call,
No difference how far
We are away we answer quick,
An tell her where we're at,
When she stoops down an starts to picl
Up something long an fat.

Did you ever seriously ask yourself
what Christianity is worth to you
to you personally, whether you have
openly outnumbered yourself among
its followers or not? What is it worth
to you to have been born in a land
like this with the education, the free
dom, the hopes, the outlook which only
that one thing has made possible
what has it been worth to you to be
trained in home where honor, integ-
r1ty and a stainless name are counted
above purchase? What have the teach
1ngs, the restraints, the sanctions Of
Christianity been worth to you in the
formation Of character, in the ideals
Of life 1t has given you in the forma-
ton of character, in the ideals Of life
1t has given you, in the hopes that,
dlmly or clearly, reach to earth's boun-
dairy and beyond7 What would you
take In exchange for all these things,
If by the barter every vessel Of their

quiet day, when you are counting up
your possessions, ask yourself these
questions and see what answer they
Will bring. Then, when you have hon

stands for the things you approve,
support 1t; If there is a word of God.
