Thoughts By A Pastor.

A life of selfishness is not worth
living; there is no beauty nor power in
it. Employ your talents for the good
of others, minister to some life in want.
It IS not always the best man nor
the best cause that makes the best
figure. / have seen servants upon
horses and princes walking asservants
upon the earth.
Personality is the triumphant fact
of our being. In our relation to each
other, in our relation to society and
the world, we must be men and wo-
men of character.
ga brave man is never afraid to
back down if he is in the wrong
There is story told of young lady
whose wonderful grace and beauty oil
character charmed all who saw her
People wondered at her beauty anC
gentleness. One day while very il
she permitted a friend to open a lock
ct which she wore around her neck
but which no one had ever seen. In i
were these words, ''Whom having no
seen I love-" This was{the secret o
her growth in grace. By meditation
and reading His letters she had grows
like Him.

would waste ink on such an article.
