SHORT METER SERMONS.

Cash cannot buy contentment
Stolen sermons sound sweet to the
enemy.
Happiness never is found by running
after pleasure.
A false prophet has his eye on the
profits only.
A little care for others is worth a
lot of prayer for them.
No man happens to stub his toe on
the nugget Of character.
Some sheep sigh for cactus as soon
as they get in the green pastures.
You cannot prove your grit by throw
ing sand into the worlds sores.
The religion that confines itself to
your own heart soon consumes itself
If you have faith in prayer you will
not be content with sending heaven
form letters.
It's no use trying to drive folks to
heaven when your feet are making
tracks the other way.
1t takes more than a gracious man
ner in the meeting to make up for
grouchy way in the home.
