don't wear your beautiful garments. II
you were really Christian you wouldn't
have to tell any one SO. You'd show it
In your face, without uttering a word.
You'd show it in your very walk
IF your religion isn't making you
sweet to live with there's something
wrong with you, not the religion. You
aren't getting all the benefit of it. Lots
of you think you've got religion when
you've only licked the spoon"
Then came one Il Gipsy's most beauti-
ful passages.
"When God thinks a rose, you've got
a rose. When Cod thinks a pansy, you've
got pansy. Because God thinks a rose
and a pansy you just can't have any
thing else. When God thinks an oak,
you've got an oak. When He thinks a
mountain there is a mountain. When
He thinks a grain Of sand, there 1t is and
when he thinks a sparrow-and a spar
row is so precious to Him that he goes
to the funeral Of every one-there is q
sparrow. He thinks a dew drop and
there Is a dew drop-a crystal palace
In which the angels shall dwell.
SAVE YOURSELF, THEN
PRAY FOR OTHERS
Listen" and his voice rang out over
the multitude, God gets his way with
nature. How Is 1t that He doesn't get
his way with you and met
lie made US to be beautiful as a lily
How is it that the people who live with
you say, Well, if that's religion. l don't
want it| Lots Of people are kept out Of
church by the inconsistencies-we inside
Of it, It's no use to pray to the Lord
to save your wife. your son. your aunt
until you let Him save you.
Put on your beautiful garments. Let
Jesus save you from ugliness. Jesus
didn't fly into tempers Jesus didn't say
cutting things You are un-Christian
when you say them. Gods wardrobes
arr ful-you needn't be shabby and the
beautiful garments will fit"
