Another Monday Sermon.


Did you ever frisk yourself to see
what you had and what you were
made of. If you haven't you'd better
get busy. You are overlooking too
many bets.
We were reading the other day
about poor devil of cripple who
sat in the doorway of a temple or
church and made a touch from each
person that went in. Along comes
fellow who is shy on Caesars sinners
and tells the Grip so. but remarks that
though he may be very much minus
financially, he'll split with him on
what he has which is quoted better
than call money. So he heals the
bunged up lad so that he don't have
to panhandle any more but can hustle
for and hold down job.
II we only know II all of us are
more or less like the healing person
who had no money. We may not have
what the other fellow thinks he wants
but we may have something a blamed
sight better for him. We give of
what we have whether we know 1t or
not
The crouch who kicks a poor dog
just to be kicking something is giving
of what he has. His cussedness wont
stay bottled up.
The fellow that reaches down and
picks up the little girl that is crying
on the street corner for her mother,
and dries her eyes and buys her pea
nuts and cheers her up. is giving OF
what he has-a heartful of kindness
and sympathy.
The fellow that is staggering under
a heavy financial load may wish he
could hold the winning number in the
big lottery. but what he needs is some
man to tell him that he admires his
grit and TO stay with 1t: and he needs
some little woman to pat his cheek
and tell him she knows he'll make the
rifle and for him to remember that
he has other treasures If he hasn't
wealth.
All of us meet up with folks every
day that need what we have and can
give. If we are tight wads with our
sympathy and encouragement our
souls will shrivel up till hundred of
them could walk around a week with
in the eye Of needle without seeing
each other.
Cheer up the other fellow and
you'll find yourself perking up a bit
right away. The world will look to
you just the way you tell the other
fellow It ought to look.
It's all right enough to talk about
taking your own medicine. But you
must serve up the right dope for the
other fellow and then fill the same
prescription for yourself.
This old world Is great on the
swap. If you want sympathy or en-
couragement for yourself, give some
to somebody else, and you'll get 1t all
back with interest.
Don't be afraid TO give of what
you've got. even If it does seem small
to you.j A stump-tail dog can wag
Just as hard as one WITH d big brush
and ofteAhe Is more faithful to|
tine way to make the farm life
more attractive Is TO have the farm
wife attractive.
Girl is encircled in Uncle Sans
Coils" is a headline in the Western
Empire. II the girl is good looking
we envy Uncle.
An item in the latest Ouray Herald
needs punctuating badly. 1t contains
the peculiar statement that prof.
Hem made splendid sound and en-
tertaining talk"
The cub reporter on the Canon City
Record is getting wise beyond his
years. Judging from his latest out
burst: when doctor tells US, I
haven't an item just now, but may
have one later in the day. we know
what he means Maybe you don't but
we do"
