THEIR WORKERS OF ALL DENOMINATIONS
Ube .T riennIp aaatb

There is not a person in the world
whose life is not followed as an ex-
ample by other people. This Is a fact
that processing Christians should al
ways keep before them.
1t is so easy for all of us to step
out of the straight and narrow path
as we pass through the hurrying
world. Feeling strong in our belief
of God, we are apt to stray a little
when an enticing temptation comes
along and seems to offer some sinful
pleasure to us.
We believe no harm can come to
ourselves in taking just one sip from
the sparkling brooklet of sinful en-
joyment. When our pleasure is ended
we shall forget It, and tomorrow we
shall do some great good that will
make up many times for our short
comings.
Perhaps! Yes. 1t may be possible for
us to do so and thereby save our
selves
But how about those who are fol-
lowing us as examples? Possibly they
may begin TO live on the morrow as
they saw us living today. And they
may find the wayward path SO easy
that they may never come our way
again.
BY living good, honest, God-fearing
lives every day we can be certain that
the weaker brothers and sisters. who
watch us as their guides will never
stumble and fall in the brambles and
be ensnared by sin from which they
can never find an escape.
There is joy in finding men and
women active in church work. All
who can should be busy. But even the
inactive church members should re-
member that, by living such lives that
those who follow their pathway are
kept from the wilderness, they are
daily preachers for good.
The church's greatest enemies are
those people who fail to practice every
day the things they, as members of
Gods army, are supposed to preach.
