himself before his Master and pre-
pare to do His bidding, only. He
must determine TO submit to all Of
Gods commands even though they
carry him to the point Of death He
must obey the ten commandments
and learn TO love his neighbor rather
than scorn or hate him. The devil
has thousands of snaTes and tricks
by which he endeavors to destroy the
faith of Gods true believers.
There are many people who never
see the bright side of anything. They
grumble from morning till night over
the troubles they believe they do not
deserve Many of these are profess
ing Christians. Have they the Christ
like spirit? The devil is gaining a
hold on them Be cheerful at all
times and make something beautiful
rather than disgusting out of the
daily occurances Of life. See the sill
yer lining to apparently dark clouds.
In doing this you will not only
hinder the tempter in his efforts 20
get hold on you. but you will prob
ably brighten and strengthen some
weaker brother or sister, who is be-
ing sorely tempted.
The surest way to resist the devil
is 10 take every trial, every burden,
every sorrow, every affiiction to God
in prayer. Don't depend on the ad-
vice OF some friend Often our best
friends are our worst enemies. II
they are Of the world they will give
worldly advice, but God knows all
things. He is our best friend and is
ever ready to draw us closer to Him,
to guide our footsteps and 10 comfort
and advise us when we are In trouble.
Keep close 10 Jesus. If you would OBJ
tain life eternal He alone is patient
when we fail to do His will or oc-
casionally step out Of the way. Pray
constantly to Him When the way is
bright, thank Him for His goodness
to you. Then when trials come you
will understand better how TO reach
Him and to receive comfort and Cody
direction.
Always keep cheerful. Keep your
face on Christ above. Remembef that
He was tried and ternnted by Satan
who took Him to the highest pinnacle
overlooking the wo-ld. "If you will
fall down and Worship me I will make
you ruler over all of these" said
Satan pointing to the kingdoms oi
the world. Did Christ accept? Dit
He deny His kingship before Pilot
No. For you and me He sufe-et
death on Calvary rather than give II
to His tempters.
ct us follow on Masters example
Though we he Offered vast rewards
for leaving the straight and marrow
way. may we keep pressing upward
Life eternal will be our -eward.
