OUT OF A PULL HEART.

Dear Household: When / last wrote
YOU / said / was soon off to Texas, but
my dear father passed into the Great
Beyond and l am at home with my two
sisters Our parents are both dead, the
old home that has been a home TO a
large family for third of a century
will doubtless be broken up after this
wear. Our father lived his allotted time
and one year over. six of his sons
from Georgia, Mississippi and Texas
were his pallbearers. He was Chris
tian for half century.
Doubtless the passing away of so
many old people recently is due TO the
fact that God did not wish for them
TO see the times that are on US and are
coming. I wish to warn the readers
Just here to beware of spies. They may
come to you as agents, ministers and
in all sorts of names. What l say TO
one 1 say to all. Beware!
We are having a lot of rain just now
and have been having IL for some weeks
and some seem to be getting impatient.
But God is sending this rain for pur-
pose. as He has always done.
This year all the people ought TO
raise all the grain that is possible; any
thing that can be used for food for this
and next year. Can and dry your fruits
There is but one thing that has
brought on the high cost of living, and
that is the cost of living high. People
ought to learn to live at home and TO
live temperate lives. This is the only
way to solve the problem.
When a person or a nation quits
praying and leaves God out of every
thing that person or that nation gets
into trouble. What about you, read
er? What about the American people!
What are we into? Why are we into
it, How will we get out of It? Simply
BY the loss of blood. Most of our bat
ties are not for our rights, but for our
wrongs Our rights are being neg
lected.
our spiritual bodies, like our physi-
cal, may become diseased and when the
two are diseased II is bad condition.
Astronomers. through their powerful
glasses, study the heavens and discov-
er new stars The world studies our
very lives, Of what we are and the new
sins we adopt. If people have a good
opinion of you, there is a reason-you
NAV deserve il. I hope you do. or you
may be a Pharisee. Look into your
heart and see.
Some men seem to think that because
money is the root of evil, that their
women folks should make the money
and the living. You have this kind OF
men near YOU; for they are everywhere.
The person who cannot be straight
when he can gain by being crooked will
be crooked when he ought to be straight.
They that go into marriage hastily
and thoughtlessly. usually come out Of
IL like they go into it-hurriedly. Con-
seuuently so many marriages are for
selfish ends, and the marriage vows
and laws of America are fast becom-
ing commercialized.
Most people do not glory save IN
crucifyfng Jesus. Being good and be-
ing harmless are two different things.
Booze is harmless when you let II alone.
Water Is good when you drink II and
when you don't drink it.
He who loses a good father, loses q
good friend. but he who loses good
mother, loses a better one.
Just as she water cometh from the
clouds. just as naturally tattling comes
from an impure heart. Many homes
have impure hearts I'm both men and
women
1t all depends on how the nail is set
