enthusiasm on Sunday and in her HON,
on Monday the soles of her shoes falrl,
scalded the floor. He also told of

he lost his temper. But that was no
hot temper" said the preacher, "bu
| it was a frozen temper" He also toll
of a sermon he once preached and
couple of business men later in tn
week remarked that it was a splendi
sermon, but no one could live up to
in every day life. L remarked that h
was mistaken, said DR.. Ostrom "
said that if the sermon could not b
lived up to then it was not a good ser
mon and that l had rather go and no
potatoes than 20 preach that whic
could not be lived up to. One of thes
men, who was in business, said it wa
impossible to live UP to the teaching
| of that sermon in his business. An
the truth of the matter is that som
time afterwards that man deserted hi
wife and seven children and ran ava
with another woman. What is needle
to live by is the power of the hol
spirit, to strengthen US. We wan
something that will abide. Not some
thing like that which one old man OF
in Ohio described-that froze IN
winter and dried up in dog DAYS W
want life of 60 minutes to the hon,
We must have a life that will abide
Him. There are those who are conf
dent of this power and are willing tns
God should control their lives. W
want to be strengthened by Gods epir
