and their Golden Rule "I physically,
financially and mentally can, there
fore I morally may" But Jesus sets
up the kingdom of self-sacrificing
service, on which the seats on his
right and left hands are reserved for
tAtsc who fnllcw III his blord-stained
fr"slcpS as He tolls upward under
His cross to His crown.
Our enthusiasm for education is
soiled by selfishness, and it is con-
sidered as means to save us hard
work; but education should be the
discipline to train the whole man for
the best work he can DO.
Jesus clearly revealed this princi-
pie in the parable of the sheep and
the goats. Our salvation depends on
the response we give to our God-giv-
ell call to service.
Jesus illustrated this principle in
washing the disciples feet, showing
that true exaltation comes only
through humbling oneself.
Aspire not to shine, but to serve.
Think OH this paradox: The best
thing you can do for yourself is to
strive to do something for others. AL
though we may not be rewarded here,
yet in the last day, our glory shall be
complete; for we shall be like tho
King, the King who among men was
as one that servcth.

that education should be the agency
for the making of higher and bet

The deceased was sufferer for

death came he offered Il prayer which
was almost heart breaking to those
that were around his bedside. While
1t is sad To see the vacant cahir to

Ben stephens as a barber shop. was
practically destroyed by fire about
1880 o'clock this morning.
The estimated loss amounts to
about $4,000 on the building and

originated in the kitchen OF the res

rived on the scene the entire premises
were ablaze and smoke was emerging
from the roof and 1t was Will great

combat the flames.
The roof of the building has fallen
