Short Meter Sermons.
Truth always has met tribulation

Truth always has met tribulation.
Worry is a confession of weakness
You cannot think carrion and live
clean.
Kindness is the evidence of kingli-
ness.
Preaching down to folks does not
lift them up.
Sympathy is key that fits the lock
of any heart.
Soul health will not come by taking
religion as dose.
He who earns the crown needs not to
put on any airs.
The surest way to impoverish your
heart is to hoard up your love.
There always is something of the
boy in the man who can lead men.
The man who is so wise that he
never laughs is the greatest fool of all.
It's hard stirring the conscience that
is under the narcotic Of money
Many a cloud that we call sorrow is
but the shadow of our own selfshness.
Nothing makes wrong seem innocent
more quickly than to acquire an in
terest in it,
No matter how eloquent the lips
heaven is deaf to prayer when the
heart is dumb.
The only way to have happiness as
a permanent guest is to keep your door
open to the helpless.
To live wholly for possessions Is to
paralyze the life to the possibility OF
permanently possessing anything.
1t often happens that the man who
is most particular about his own cornS
is least careful where he treadS.
The man who always thinks of his
rights is the first TO forget that they
always involve an equal number of re-
sponsibilities.
When a man blows a trumpet to call
attention to the moral screen at his
front door you can be pretty sure of
finding the back door wide open all the
time.
