HOT SHOTS FROM
SUNDAYS SERMONS

The mother knows God so much
better than any one else; 1t is man
who tries to measure God by the tape
line of his puny understanding.
She has done her prayerful best,
and when you have done that you can
bank on it that God will not fail you
II God Almighty struck dead those
who haven't prayed today most Of you
would drop from your seats right into
the sawdust on the floor of this taber-
nacle.
God always does things at the right
time. Give God chance; He may be
a little slow at times, but He viii al
ways get around in time.
Fathers often give up. The old man
often goes to BOOKING, becomes dissi-
pated, takes a dose of poison and COM
mits suicide; but the mother will stand
by the home and keep the little band
together if she has to manicure her
finger nails over a washboard to keep
the brood out of the poorhouse.
If you want to find greatness, don't
go toward the throne; gosto the cradle.
and the nearer you get to the cradle
the nearer to greatness.
When God sends us great men He
wants to have them get the right kind
of start. So He sees to it that they
get good mother. Most any old
stick will do for daddy. God is par
ticular about the mothers.
If every mother would rock her own
baby the world would be much better.
If every mother did as she should or
as the Bible taught, the preachers and
the police would have little to do.
Talk about greatnessl oh, you wait
until you reach the mountains OF
eternity, then read the mothers names
in Gods hall of fame, and see who
they have been in this world.

Hair Turns White in a Night.

That hair ever turns white in a sin
Gle night has been emphatically de-
MED by some doctors, in spite of his
toric instances-su such as that of Marie

buried in the earth from which he
extricated himself with difficulty
The man was deafened by the deto-
nation, his face was burned. and there
were several bruises on his head. He
was taken to neighboring hospital.
where the following day he noticed
four islets of white hair on the fronto-
parietooccipital region Of his head.
The loss of color was complete from
the roots to the ends of the hairs. and
the white hairs were as firmly in his
scalp as their brown neighbors,
