Gentlest, yet strongest, of all the
sons of men was Jesus. who dared

Again and again. the Bible shows
itself a mans book. It stresses the
virile qualities. Thru all of its books
resounds the note. BE Strong: Fear
noti Play the man! Be of good cour-
age!" Always it associates strength
with faith: BE strong in the Lord -
People who fear God are not likely to
fear anybody else. When the Gospel
is permitted to do its work with a per-
son it makes him stalwart and un-
afraid.

THE OLD MOTTO

We found it in the attic where it
long mad lain away,
The dust had yelled the letters in
a shroud of misty gray,
A spiders web was tangled in its
old fantastic weaves
Across the frame whose corners
were hand-caryed in oaken
leaves,
The old discarded motto-it was
worked in green and red,
On perforated cardboard, and
'God Bless Our Home" it said.
"God Bless Our Home," and loving
hands reach out from all the
years,
The hands that always reached to
help, that wiped away our tears.
And now we know full well that
when this motto held its place
They meant the faded prayer that
today we slowly trace;
That every morn of work to do, that
every night of rest,
The good old home was by some
mystic benediction blest.
