bring the solution of every prob
lem between capital and labor; be-
tween man and money-the relig-
ion of Jesus Christ. That is the
hope of the world
You do that and see where you
will come to. So you viii have
power with men when they see
your change. You will act chang
ed. They will see there is a
change in your life.
What gave Jacob power over his
angry brother? He spent the night
with God You let the church
membership of this city-preaeh-
eTs and all-spend a day and night
fasting and praying, confessing
your sins, making your wrongs
right, and you will rewrite the re-
ligious history of this whole city
in the name of Jesus Christ and
Son of God.
Isn't Weak To Pray.
It isn't weak to pray. No! No!
No! In the searchlight of history
find prayer. The hard days Of
this republic were not when
Great Britain fought us 1900 miles
away from her base of supplies,
but when she lost her hold upon
her colonies and signed the treaty
of peace and We were thrown to-
gether without the pressure of war
that had bound us by opposition.
The crucial years of this republic
were from 1884 to 1889.
l. s- Al h.,
thinks he can gain ANYTHING by
growing and finding fault at home
and making hell on earth. If some
people growled over what they got
to eat at a hotel like they do about
the things they get to eat at home,
they'd be kicked out in five min
utes and be without a tooth in their
head.
Henry Ward Beecher said man
a bear and a wolf, and a fellow
jumped up and said, Henry, add
hog to the collection" And say
just a word! Try praising your
wife even if it does brighten her at
first. Maybe the poor woman will
faint when you try it on her for
the first time. If some of You fell
lows went a whole day without
cussing your wife, she'd phone for
the doctor. If you want your wife
to be an angel, treat her like one;
not like a devil. Show her that
you have love for her. She'll be-
come young again. And the
wrinkles around her eyes and the
crowfeet will iron out. That old
bent form will straighten, and a
smile will sweep over her face and
you will recall how she looked
when she was a blue-sashed maid
en- wandering through the grove,
and you were feeding her on gum
drops and candy hearts and lico-
rice.
Gosh. l think we have all fallen
for that. / know | have. Ii ] had
never loved, l would want an IN
dertaker to embalm me and put me
under the ground. What IS the
use of taking up room in the world
IL your heart is incapable of low
ing? Marriage may not always re-
suit in the heaven you had hoped
it would. and maybe half of it is
YOUR fault, for all | know. Love is
something you can't quarantine;
YOU can't Vaccinate: you can't
warn; you can't reason with. It
is a good deal like lightning. You
can't tell when or where or whom
il will hit.
Wife Worth Praising.
Make your wife happy. She will
never grow old. You can make
her happy with religion. / plead
for a happy religion. Happiness
is the best preventive for gray
hairs and a wrinkled brow. 1t
beats powder-rag. my friends, or
hair dye. And the wife who is
worth her salt is worth praising
She would be, too, if she had a
husband that was any account. It
would spoil a mule to be treated
the way some men treat their
