q There came to our mind the
thought shat today man lives, self
seeking life, being two ways point
ed out in our Sunday School lesson,
BY which men seek to make the
best of their lives. And again, this
thought occurred: Why was man
40 unfaithful? For we are told to
Cast our bread upon the waters,
and it shall return threefold." How
beautiful it is to behold life being
epsnt in sacrifice for Jesus sake!
Nothing for which to be ashamed;
a5tnumphal victory.
