One moment without Thee:
But, oh, the tenderness OF Thy en-

a great many business men arc in
temperate about business. We read
in the 18th chapter OF Romans, "Be
not alothful IN business" This is al
right, but we should not carry II toe
far. When a man Is 80 wrapped uT
in his business that he hasn't time
