On the Spur
of the Moment

BY ROY K. MOULTON.

Sisters Picture.
When sister gets her picture took
She looks just like a Gibson book;
She twists her features like she'd sQuall
And don't look like herself at all.
She wears more hair than eer before,
And gets it at the ten-cent store.
She tries to look just like saint,
And that is what my sister amt
She poses like an actorfne,
Bout sixteen times or seventeen,
And frets and fumes like all possessed,
Although the artist does his best.
She squints and scowls and can't si'
straight,
And makes the Teller wait and wait.
/ don't see why she does 1t fer;
The picture never looks like her.
l feel like yellin', Get the hook"l
When sister gets her picture took.

A few days ago gentleman and his
wife stopped at one of our hotels and
were given room with a bath.
What in tarnation did that burned
clerk mean by givin' us this kind of a
room?" angrily demanded the man.
why. what's the matter now, Ed %
asked his wife.
Matter Can't you see there is
only one door leadin' to the bathroom,
and naturally any guest of the huttel
who wants to use the bathtub has got
to walk through our room to get to it.
Guess they don't think we want any
privacy at ALL"

1t''-Isa. 1916.
Since the very beginning of the
movement Endeavorers have been
been one of the secrets of the Soci-
ety's winsomeness and conquests.
With almost incredible rapidity the
cause has spread. because there have
been workers who have put their
whole hea1 is into its propagation,
Christian Endeavor has come to be
almost synonymous with enthusiasm.
Now this spirit belongs in all our
work. By it we obtain success from
God He does the most for US when
we do our utmost for Him.
Enthusiasm climbs to success on
the stepping-stone that listlessness
calls obstacles.
The tremendous Importance of the
issues that engage the Christians at
tention are a great reason for the
most Jealous service. When the in
finite and eternal are concerned, we
may we'll work with our might.
Only when we serve at our best are
we preparing to serve better.
There are a hundred good reasons
why we should labor with our might
but the chief of them all is that Christ
deserves our best. Our loving Saviour
is worthy of the choicest box of ONT
ment that we possess. We cannot in
honor or self-respect give to our King
half-hearted or imperfect service. The
sacrifice offered to God must be with
out spot or blemish. The love of
Christ constrains us to serve Him. with
our might
Do not look at clouds and shadows,
Watch for sunshine day by day;
Let your tones be full of courage,
Scatter gladness on the way.
Margaret Sangster--
Half done is often worse than not
begun.
If we were 20 put more earnestness
into our prayers God would put more
power into our lives.
No man has ever accomplished any
great end who did not make it his
chief business in life.
Joy, the .fullness of JOY" and life,
the life more abundantly.' are never
