who think Of nothing only the quickest
way to make the days 90 BY. Waste
not your moments or your days.
We can save up money OF books.
but there Is one thing We cannot save.
and that Is time Every one Of US must
spend time, and we all spend 1t at the
same rate, and we all have the same
amount to spend. Use It We must In
spite Of ourselves. because II simply
passes through our hands whether we
viii or no. So long as we are here
we cannot prevent its coming, and we
cannot hinder It's going. The best thins
that we can do Is to hll II as It Ness
with the best things. Falling short of
that. we can send It by empty. or laden
with vain burdens, OF with a CARGO
positively evil We each have all the
time there ls; our mental and moral
status Is determined by what we do
with IT,
How to utilize the waste is one II
the great problems Of the manufactur-
Ing world. II Is one Of the great prob
lens Of the human life as we'll The
Ingenuity OF man has made # possible
TO save even the particles Of gold dust
In the Philadelphia Mint II is vastly
more important for a man to save "the
raspings and parlngs Of existence,
those leavings of days and wee bits Of
hours" the right use OF which deter
mines the true value OF a mans life
work
To use time we'll we must anticipate
| Its coming. II we have made no prep
aration for It, It will be gone before
we are aware or have had opportunity
to laden II with our cargo. Everyone
ought to have things on hand only
waiting for time IN which to do them.
Such as people to see, books to read,
things to write, duties to do. II we
can't keep such things In our minds
we ought TO have lists. and as soon as
one task Is done and we have time for
another we should turn to IT,
1t is the person that Is always busy
THAT gets the most out Of this world
No one has any use for a lazy person.
Are you giving as much time as you
lshould TO Gods work? When your
pastor or the president OF your society
ask for your help. give Il promptly.
Don't tell them you have no time Tho
time spent In doing Gods work IL OF
more value than time spent In any
other way. It is, OF course. mans
duty to decline 10 attempt a piece OF
work that demands more time, then he
ought TO give 10 It. But once having
accepted II as his duty let his lips be
sealod TO the temptation TO plead that
he had not the time 10 do Il right The
best work Is done by those that have
the least time. whose time is far too
preclous 20 waste any OF Il in false
lexcuses.
How many Endeavorers keep that
part Of their pledge where II says 70
pray and read the Bible every day?
Are all your minutes so taken up that
You cannot spare a few OF them for
reading Gods word? Can you say that
there Is not a moment OF your time
wasted? God did not give us the min
utes to waste them. II you have spare
moments. give them TO God In prayer
or In reading His word. or in doing a
kind deed OF speaking a kind word to
some other.
Serve God by doing common actions
In a heavenly spirit, and then, II your
daily calling leaves you cracks and
orevices OF time, I'll these up with holy
service. Doing ones best at each mo-
lment Is all there Is Of life. What W,
do with our spare time usually deter.

We should accustom ourselves TO tn
