Whatsoever things are true
think on these things. Phil JAS.
There is no limit to the pay that
comes to the man who thinks on
the things Of life that are true.
1t is true that a certain direction
is north and the mariner who does
not pay attention to this fact finds
that he is hopelessly lost. 1t is
true that there Is great strength in
steam, but the world performed
great feats Of labor by human
| strength until boy began to think
along the lines of steam. 1t is true
there is enormous power and ser
vice in electricity but the world
knew nothing about it until men
began to think in the terms Of
electricity.
1t is true that almost every weed
that grows by the waysde has
medicinal properties that will allevi-
ate the pains Of the human race
and it had only been ascertained
what weeds possessed the desired
effects when men began to think
along the lines OF health and the
things that make for health. So
1t is in things spiritual When men
stop to think We find an uplifting in
all things that are good-morals,
honesty, justice and a preparation
Of the soul for the day Of judg
ment Disease affects the body but
not the soul. Men think and buy
| clothes to keep the body warm. They
think and buy food to keep the
body In health They think and
make preparation for the welfare
Of the soul. AS the soul is more
important than the body give the
soul first place in your thoughts.
But people don't think today. II
they did there would be less poverty.

saloons. bawdy-houses and crime
would almost wholly disappear. When

narrow path to heaven, but when
they will not think they take the
broad path to hell and so in swarms
together. They do not stop to con-
slider the penalty attached to break
ing the law Of God. There is small
danger of man getting into trouble
who stops to think.
| Almost every steamship disaster
could have been averted II men had
stopped to think. Almost every
railroad wreck has been brought
about because someone failed to
think. forgot to lock the switch. or
failed to be on the lookout. Just
dinner one day and did not think
to put out the fire, $25 000,0 900 worth
of valuable timber was destroyed.
Indiana possesses the record Of
| travelling man who was leading a
life that was fast carrying him
down to hell He bought book on
the train and idly opened to this
sentence: III you are falling from
high building you are just as much
lost when you are a foot from the
top as when you strike the ground
He thought to himself, Il have been
losing ground the past year. My
life Is growing corrupt. I do things
today that brought shame to me
year ago. l am on the way to hell"
And he paced the car crying in his
soul, God save me!" And God did
save him then and there and he
lived a consistent Christian life un-
til the day Of his heath. He took
time to stop and think If men
would only stop to think on what
soever things are true.
1t would be we'll for men to think
that the Bible is the Word Of God.
Nothing has been better established
than this fact and God blesses every
nation that believes 1t and lives 1t.
No book has been so hated. Every
cunning art Of man has been hatch
ed to destroy it but it has with
stood the ravages of its opponents.
No book has compared with it in
circulation. Moro than 100000 900
