nave not been eradicated from his ma
ture. Let me illustrate my thought
practically. You have all wandered
through the northern forests in the
winter time. Everywhere you have
seen the tall trunks of the trees sup
porting the bare branches. Not a leaf
IS in sight; nor a flower is blooming.
where are the millions upon millions
or leaves which as an arched roof COW
cred the mountain pathways last sum-
mer! All gone. But if you will rub
your fingers lightly over the bark of
those branches you can see where new
buds and new sprouts will come forth
just as soon as springtime places to
her lips the silver trumpet of the
warm winds. AS I approach a man
who is called a Christian man figura-
tively ma him without sin. but as
touch his heart I find, still figuratively
speaking, that all over his heart are
latent sinful buds easy to be develop
ed. Unless man lives close to-
Christ and continues to live close to
Christ these evil buds will sprout and
grow even as the white apple blossoms
cover the tree branches almost in one
May day. The reason Judas BETRAYED
Christ was because he allowed his lat
ent buds OF sin to develop; that is all.

PERSONAL EQUATION IN LIFE
There is casket scene in every life
EVERY young man and woman coming
to the threshold of life must make
choice between the worldly moral and
Christian life. between the life Of ease
and luxurious living, the life of de-
pendence upon others concerned only
in having a nominal position, and the
life of drudgery and toll, where, re-
CARELESS of the name or financial condi-
ton of parents, the young man deter
mines to stand upon his own feet, carve
out his own destiny and make his own
way through the world. Only those who
choose the leaden casket of the Chris
tan life and who assume their share
of the worlds work have any realiza-
ton of genuine happiness. But more
physical toll will be useless unless mix
ed with brains. The first main thing in
life is to find out the line of least re-
sistance. Misfit are fatal David in

In astronomy there is the personal

of given fact to pass from the eye

sidered, the personal equation is found
in every phase of human life. Therein

is mighty only as he is himself. Be
