attract. AS a result, he had comparatively few associates, VI those
who knew him best held him in highest esteem. AS the months
passed our acquaintance with him ripened into friendship, and then
We began to know the real man.
His was a case of "a diamond in the rough" With a great, big
sessed in high degree many of the virtues that are essential to the
making of real, substantial Christian character. Poor and uneducated
though he was, his real life was a asset of far greater value than
any amount of money or property could possibly have been to him,
To appreciate his real worth, he had to be known, not on the "out,"
but on the inside"
1t is not wise to judge always by appearances. "All is not gold
that gitters" While some lives. apparently true and consistent, are
full Of deceit and hypocrisy, many an unattractiYe life on the out
side is simply "a DIAMOND in the rough" which needs only to be
known to be appreciated and loved, What a blessed thing to know
real worth, and who can and will and does sympathize with us in
our trials, temptations and weaknesses.
Too often our judgment of others Is harsh and unchartable.
This is largely due to the fact that we do not know. We see only
the outside" and our judgments are based accordingly. We need
more of the Christspirit when we come to size up our fellows. He
sees not only what men are, but what they may become. We should
look in every man for his possibilites-look beyond his weakness
and sefishness and see him as God sees him. set free from it all and
ready for heaven. This is the first qualification of a true helper
OF humanity.
1t may be you are discouraged and dsheartened today. You
have been criticized, harshly judged, perhaps, by those who should
help and encourage rather than to hinder you in the work you are
striving so earnestly to do for God and humanity. Remember the
earthly life of Jesus! Think of the source of his strength, and re-
member that it is yours also. my grace is sufficient for thee. +"
Sweet promise! Appreciate it.!

One of the greatest responsibilities

to intrust to an individual in recent
times was placed on the shoulders of
the Rev. Lee Rutland Scarborough, d.
D, of Fort Worth, Tex, when the
Southern Baptist convention made him
director-genera of its great campaign
to raise SIS, 600, 900 with which to finance
its entire program of evangelistic, edu-
c~atiOnal n missionary work for the
next five years.
The task ca lied for the biggest man
the church could command. In Texas
the church had the man. When SIM
mons college at Abilene required new
buildings, DIR. Scarborough was the man
who directed the campaign to finance
the building program. When the South
western Baptist seminary found that
1t must add new buildings, DR.. Scarbor-
ough raised the funds for that enter
