palace if God dwellS there you will find
happiness within its walls "For the Lord
God is a sun and a shield, the Lord will
give grace and glory, and no good thing
will He withhold from them that walk
uprightly-
q. 1t makes better citizens. 1t is the
Cody man who is anxious to see law
and order prevail Crime and places
of sin are revolving to him. Such a man
seeks to please God not man.
Experience proves it profitable. If there
were no heaven and no hell would still
say live the christian life The most
miserable people in this world today are
the people who are taking their fill of sin
1t has promise of good in the life to
come. Little do we realize what God
has in store for those who live in this life.
"Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared for them
that love Him."
How is such a life lived?
BY giving attention to your life, ac-
cording to Gods word Measure your
life by His word
By exercising your life unto Goodness.
Strength gained by work for it Strive
for it. Struggle with all your powers for
It Remember that God looks on and will
help you.
