Talks on Failures in Life.
At the evening service Mr. Sunday
10.
He said, in part:
Its with great deal of reluctance
that | speak tonight about how a man
fails. | would rather talk to you on
some signal life success. But sometimes
the study of failure is more fruitful
than the study of a conquest
so, | am speaking to you tonight
with the hope that where Saul went
wrong. you may go Alright. Where ne
struck out you may put the ball over
the fence.
SO when you are called upon to
be king and queen over that inner king
dom of your manhood and womanhood
that you may come as one of Gods
noblemen Gods noblewomen to your
coronation. and. not like Saul. allow the
stuff of this world to cover up your
kingliness and your queenliness.

tempt to see a big man, born to and
capable of big, noble. inspiring things,
STOPPING to do mean, contemplate,
things that, we can excuse in a little
man that are an objectionable sim for
a big man. We can forgive Zaccheus
for climbing the tree, but we can't for
give Saul for crawling into the hole
and pulling the camp luggage in after
him.

love and less loathing. We need more
smiles and less sneers. Oh, don't allow
the stuff to hide you. Let me help
you dig out.
