time when the agent who was giving

squares and diamonds of silk to show
the possibilities of the machine. But
the modern customer objects to such n

THE FLAVOR OF LIFE.

Inc navor or the peach. the perfume
OF rose. is subtle thing You can
not weigh the flavor or the odor.
But flavor is real thing.
So Of the favor of ones life. 1t is
subtle. but real. The flavor of your
life Is what you really are, your per-
sonality.
What you say or do. the opinions you
hold, the position you occupy, the
clothes you wear-none OF these things
counts when put beside your real per-
| sonality. the favor of your life.
Your actions speak SO loud cannot
hear what you say" said the native to
the missionary.
1 know u minister who breaches bet
ter sermons out OF his pulpit than in
it. When ] am with him | feet like
virtue is gone out of him into me.
Why?
Because OF the flavor OF his life.
Because what affects me is not what
he says as minister. but what he is
as man.
The favor OF the fruit is part and
parcel of the fruit. 1t cannot escape
| from the peach or the peach from it.
1t pervades the fruit and is OF the es-
sence OF It.
SO OF the favor of your life
1t is part and parcel OF you. You
cannot assume it and throw 1t or at
will. 1t pcrvadeS you as subtly, but
as really. as the perfume of the rose.
PcrsOnallty-we call II that for want
OF better term-is the flavor OF self.
| Great men are great because of per
sonality. the flavor OF character. They
do not pretend to be great or assume
their greatness. They are great. The
favor is OF their real essence.
Lincoln. Grant, Lee. three great men
OF a single epoch. had the flavor of
greatness. There was nothing artifi-
cial about them. They were single In
motive. not posers. They were Genu-
inely great. and the flavor of their
lives was genuine favor. Their per-
sonality cxhaled greatness because it
belonged TO them.
What Is the flavor OF your life?
There Is Nothing complex about It.
II you appear 90 be kind and courteous
and just there is no flavor to your life
unless you really are courteous and
kind and just.
You cannot create flavor of life by
assuming TO be strong or honest or
loving. You must be honest and strong
and loving or there Is no real flavor.
To put II Scripturally. flavor is the
salt OF character.
"But IL the salt hath lost its SAVIOR.
wherewith shall II be salted?"
