PATIENCE.

Among the many lessons Of life
patience Is one of the hardest to
learn. A person has to try and try
again to conquer it. Many grown-upe
have not yet learned the great lesson
of patience.
Many people, bowed down with sor:
rows or perhaps sickness, have lived
on patience. and hope alone.
At school, at play, or at work
patience finds a place. Jesus hoped
and prayed and had patience In God
that his people might believe In him,
and he did succeed after sacrificing
his own life for his people.
Washington, the father of our coun'
try, must have had great patience: For
while his army was poorly clad IN
tattered garments, and almost on the
point of starvation, and not receiving
any salary and were trying to fight the
British, who had every advantage OF
Washington's army, still Washington
did not give up hope, but kept pa
tiently waiting for food, clothes and
money, for his army. And at last they
came.
Job, a man of bible days, was also q
grand model of patience. The express
sion "the patience Of Job" we often
hear.
A teacher must have patience Of all
things. So must clerk, q conductor,
laborer or person working at any
kind Of trade. Boys and girls going to
school must learn to control their pa
thence also, as we'll as their elders.
There is beautiful story book
named What Katy Did" which have
always enjoyed to read It is about
a girl who always had hopes and great
plans for the future. But, alas, none OF
these hopes and plans came true. She
was thrown from swing one day ana
the fall hurt her back Doctors thought
she would always be an invalid. How
disappointed she must have been, poor
girl, when all Of her hopes and great
plans had persisted. She was not an
invalid for life, however, for she re-
covered In time to do some of her
great works. But during her Illness
how patient she must have been; to
lay on her couch not doing any good
or anything great. But she tried to
live down these disappointment and
grew happy and cheerful just from
having hope and patience.
An amusing story Is told about q
girl who had a: sutton on whom she
could not decide. So she decided to
test his patience by giving him some
tangled up yarn to untangle. II he
unwound it without getting angry or
out of patience, she would have him.
But if he didn't unwind 1t patiently,
she would not have him. So you see
patience helps to form great part In
the making of a great and good char
acter.

The day was hot and still. The
leaves on the trees were silent. At
last weary, tired and hungry, king
fisher came and sat on rock at the
edge Of the stream. All of sudden
he dived into the water and brought
out a fish in his bill. The kingf1sher
beat the fish with it's wings and killed
it, then it swallowed the fish, head
downward. 1t was not long till the
bird flew away.

Now, in conclusion, let me say the
Socialists are hated as badly as the
Romans hated the Jews because Meth
or Jew nor a Socialist are willing to
lie still under oppression. The Jew is
a born agitator because he loves free
dom. His mother reads to him and
sings the story of Israeps hope, so a
Socialist reads and meditates upon the
laws of God and binds them to his
heart. Both are brothers and Jewish
blood has been sprinkled on the soil of
every nation. There are Socialist
Jews in all lands. They remember
the bondage of Israel. 1 thank God
for the hope l have in Christ and that
same day the world will acknowledge
Him as its Redeemer and Savior, and
that men under his rule and dominion
will have restored unto them their in
heritance as foretold by Isaiah, and all
the prophets. / care nothing for the
angry raging of the Scribes and Phar-
issees of this day, who do not want

stroy government founded on love
like the kingdoms and laws of God
wouldn't allow one man to Cypress
and defraud another. The kingdom OF
God Ia just government) was the
theme of Christ. Isaiah declared the
government was upon his shoulder.
He came to teach us our duty to God
and our fellowman. He was rejected,
scorned and spit upon by the Jews.
He taught new doctrine of govern
ment and divine politics and so intent
was be about his Fathers kingdom
he never mentioned soul but about
four times in the Gospel by st. Mat
thew, but named his kingdom 81
times. Oh, how anxious was he about
his Fathers kingdom, just govern.

Scribes and Pharisees stirred up the
people against him, and caused his

true gospel of Christ, and not be per-
secuted in this our day. Try it and
