Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1913-01-30

Over forty men were present Sun
day in the W. w Bible class to hear
the address of Rev VIM. IT, Mason
of the Presbyterian church on "A
Man in the Making"
He used the division Of labor in a
modern well organized watch factory
as an illustration of the perfection at
tainable when each man has only one
job and persues that for life Then
how difficult our making OF life be-
cause we had everything to do in the
building. We embarked on the sea
of life with only the hull of the craft
built to the water line and it was our
task to complete the building of the
decks and cabins, the superstructure,
while facing the storms and amid the
sunlight CLEANS and the shadows of
daily life. The making of life was
big business and business all the time.
An oak tree would grow from an
acorn and a bushel of acorns had
within it the possibilities of an inn
mense forest, but forests of oak
would not compare with the unlimited
possibilities of a single human life,
and it was our job to develop our
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1913-01-30
