Mr.. PENDLEToN's TALK.
People expect wonderful things of
the Creator, hold their aprons open to
eaten golden showers from heaven, but
are often mean, stingy towards their
fellow men.
One man said he thanked God one
thing was cheap-that he believed his
religion had not cost him twenty five
cents year!
Our lives are really slot machines.
We get out of them what we put in.
The man mentioned got twenty five
cents worth! 1t never fails that the
man who is stingy in giving time,
sympathy, money to the world gets
very little out of it.
Some people are too contemplate to
get much out of life. They think all
fhnIy o+ hnIO -
nothing of trusteeship for the race, and
/ they .shrivel up till their souls are like
! mustard seeds.
One old lady remarked that she had
been a member of the Baptist church
| nigh onto forty years and thank God
| 1t haint cost me a cent yit!''
Conservation to Ones Work.
The large hearted, magnanimous
| people are the ones who get life's
| choicest blessings, and ito him that
| hath shall be given" Why does the
Office boy sometimes become editor in
chief? Why does a brakeman become
president of a railroad? Gods true
law of success in getting is the grace
! of giving.
! l am not speaking now of merely
| money giving. I speak of consecra-
| ton, not in it's narrow or religious
! sense, but as a great principle of life.
Every one of any consequence is con-
| secrated to something. Luck when
/ looked at closely is only another way
! Of spelling pluck. Here is a youth who
! aspires; his ambitions are great, but
| he has his eye fixed upon some lucky
man who has attained in life and fails
| to arrive himself. Why? He needed
| perspiration instead of aspiration
That model had dug his reputation out
of wonderful difficulties, but the youth
did not dig.
Here is a hillside, bare and unprom-
/ Using. n man gives hilhself to it, and

What a Man Can Do.
Here is a fertile valley teeming with
wealth of soil. A man gives himself
to it, and complains at drouths and
bad years and poor labor, and it goes
down. He has been a blight upon it.
Lot and Abraham divided the land
Lot took the fertile valley toward
Sodom. Abraham took what was left
The latter grew richer and richer, and
finally spread his name and descend
ants over all the earth. The other lost
all he had and escaped from the burn
ing city with nothing but two daugh-
ters. What was the difference? II
