engine Everything Is perfect and in
place, but unless the oil is applied
there will be friction and wearing.
Apply the oil OF love in all your
contact with your fellows.
There isn't much in the New
Testament about likes and dislikes.
Likes and dislikes are great only
to small natures. what you like
IS not essential to your happiness
and what you dislike need not deS-
troy your happiness Love is not
merely 4 matter Of feeling. or likes,
or temperament. but OF doing.
! Love is not provoked. How i'm
portant we feel ourselves to be
sometimes! And it is this fact
that most often causes us to take
ohcnse. We have not received
proper notice; our dignity has been
disturbed. The prodigal sons elder
brother pouted and would not come
inside the house while the feast
was in progress. Many prodigai
is kept out OF the kingdom because
Of jealously-not always on dis
played by himself, sad to say-be-
cause OF seli-righteousness, anger,
loneliness OF an elder brother.
The people who influence you
are those who believe in you; and
the people whom you will influence
will be those in whom you believe
Parion me, but once / held 10 a
young man i'll whom no one else
could see any good. ! often told
him and showed him that | believed
in him. Time went by, and one
day letter came to me from him
saying he had come to himself and
wanted me to know that whatever
he might attain in life would be
due to the fact that when all others
had lost confidence in him | would
not turn him loose. but believed il /
him. How like the words of ST. /
Paul. l am what | am by the !
grace of God.
Ralph Conner says in his Intro
duction 10 the Sky Pilot: The
measure OF our influence over 9TH
ers will be the measure of our
love for them and belief in the ulti-
mate triuphm OF good in them.
Love is one of the three things
that never fail Other gifts are
temporary.
knowledge is imperfect, for we
arc constantly growing. Science
and all branches OF knowledge must
be often rewritten.
Prophecies are fulfilled.
Tongues pass away into dead
languages
So the great man and the endur-
ing man is the loving man.
Christianity is the only religion
that enthrones love about every
other faculty and requirement. OH
er religions teach that there is
only one God. teach OF our duties
to God and man, of faith and obc- /
dience. Of self-denial and sacrifice,
OF taking care of body and mind
of mental and physical culture,
ad nauscam; but not because u
love for others.
And the greatest is love. With
out faith it is impossible to please
God; without hope we could not
endure, as seeing Him who is invis-
ible; but great and useful and
necessary as these are, yet love IS
the greatest; it is the fulfilling
the filling full-of the law. God isl
love.
Faith is the foundation Of the !
Christian life; home rears the SUI
perstructure; but love finishes, COM
plc;cs and crowns it.
The full conception OF Paurs
teaching concerning faith i'll Christ
IS not realized until we see it COM
plctcd i'll love to our fellowmau.
Love that makes the motto of Jerry
Walter ST. Mission:
Never give up man; our langI-
age has many noble words; duty
home, mother; but these three
faith, hope, love-will outlive the
others.
And the greatest of these is love.
