GROWING Truth.

An argument is usually tug-ofwar,

enlargement to their fellow man.
If you never tried it just step up
to a man some day and say to him
that you appreciate him as a neigh
Dor and a friend and see the
change that will come over his
countenance. The very look that
he gives you will amply pay you
for ten times thai amount of
trouble and besides it will do him
so much good to know that he is
not without friends and that he is
worth something to his fellow man.
If glass of cold water given in
the name of the Son of Man is not
without its reward, certainly few
words of encouragement spoken
