oYsPEPTIc PHILOSOPHY.

A sharp appetite can get along with

II you don't get the best Of IT. make
the best of it.
II you are going TO call a man
names. use the phone.
Some people have their good points
without being very sharp.
Even in fishing for compliments it's
the big ones that generally get away.
There are two kinds OF friends:
those we need and those who need US.
Some people always want 20 have

If you are going to throw yourself

SENTENCE SERMONS.

Service is the simple path to saint
illness.
He Is always generous who has left
his purse at home.
He always appears orthodox who
hits our neighbors hard.
Taking the church as fad does not
make the life of faith.
1t is the bowed heart that Heaven
sees rather than the bent knee.
Friendships never are the better for
being punctured and then patched up.
1t is always easier, and often safer.
to preach on old saints than on mod
ern sinners.
You may dodge the courts. but you
cannot dodge the law Of consequences.
People who fear trouble are not 60
ing to be troubled with too much
force.
Pride is the fear OF what folks will
think; honor the fear of our own
hearts.
We may not determine our circum-
stances. but we do determine our vital
environment
When a man gets beyond the paugs
OF conscience there is not much left
in him to punish.
Many a man has been cured Of any
desire 20 join the Heavenly choir by
