EUery Mind Keeps DUN Record

{ DhLOH says the AuAuAu 4AN@AA~@N
never forgets a thing. That Is a
wonderful statement.
Sometime in your life all YOU
have ever known will come back to

a wonderful power over men.
| And when before God, and God
turns the secret spring your mem
ory will do its work Some people
spend a lot of dough to have their
! lives written before they die. Don't
waste it! God is writing a better
! book than you will ever write and
when God gets through, it Will be
no work Of fiction.
God will put down the names OF
your ancestors who were hanged
| for stealing horses out west. The
Lord will put IL all in. Do you
swear? II does down. Do you lie2
There It is. Do you steal? There
It is. Did you sell some get-rich-
/ quick stock and fake and put 10
over on the other fellow? Down
she goes, There are thousands OF
people who would cut of their
right arm If they could undo auOo-
forget.
Conscience Ready.
You will meet your conscience
where you haa your opportunities
/ to do good. You will meet your
record, it will all be laid bare. You
can jump into your automobile and
give her the juice and step on her
and then when you come back
home, look at the little jigger and
she'll tell how far you've been.
