find bees and honey you must look
up; to see snakes you must look
down. We DO uot look. up enough:
Il will look unto the hills" said
one who was wise and strong.
Wisdom and strength, beauty and
health are the blessings of those
who look up. The good, the true
and beautiful are all around US, and
he who has eyes to see may see
them. There is also the evil, the
foes and the deformed about US,
and if we will we will see them all
the time. Some people are always
looking for the bad in people and
things The country is going to

every man has his price; all of the
good times were in the past, and
all the good people Except them
selves) are in their graves. Once |
visited man who talked like this.
He was Christian in fact he was
seriously thinking of coming out of
the church, because the churches
were all dead" He read his Bible,
he talked a great deal about re-
ligion; he professed 20 be dwelling
in spiritual atmosphere far above
the ordinary hristian. But this
good man was most keenly sensi
tive to the faults and failings of his
fellow.man. The church to which

of spiritual people in It," | was
glad that 1 knew Christ fol myself,
and that / had religion before met
this snake hunter, for there was
nothing in his character to remind
one of the meek and lowly one, or
to make one desire the religion he
professed to have. Holiness that
makes one critical, censorious, fault
finding and impatient with those
who do not agree with them is not
that holiness without which no
man shall zee the Lord" 1t is the
kind the Pharisee had, who thanked
God that he was not as other men,
