road mitt its bends und its curves und de
engineers vas always on de watch.
Why We are de engineers of our life und
it vas up to US to see dot de tracks NIT de
trussels vas safe before We sent our frail
engines ofer it as does de engineers of de
railroad.
You know vot a guide engineer does,
he vas always on de watch, always look
ing ahead for de danger signs, he vas
always on de alert. Night und day mitt
his eyes to de right und to de left, mitt his
hands on de drottle he drives ahead to his
station knowing dot he vas responsible for
de lives dot vas on his drain. Won mis-
takes und he nit all his passengers would
rush on to eternity.
De track on de railroad of our life vas
not mitt oudt its curves und its bends, We
cannot always see vot vas ahead of us,
but We should try to find oudt before We
rush on. We should always be on de
watch und ven We come to dull places We
should find oudt vat vas ahead und if all
vas O. K. go ahead. But should We see
dot der vas droubles We should at vonce
put on de brakes und stop.
Some of us did stop und it vas too late,
but it vas not too late to try if Offer again.
Meier go around de bends und de
curves mitt full steam. 1t makes no diff
ference to you vat or where de odder train
vas, watch oudt for de one dot you vas on
und try to bring it in on time. See dot
your train vas on de track und dot you
vas on de job. Ven you vas sure dot you
vas, open up de drottle und let her go to
de station of TRUTH und HONESTY.
Schust because some Won else vas going
to de bad Why should you or mineself go
too. If you vas to see Won man schump
oferboard would you do it to. Yah, you
would totry und save him but you wouldn't
do it schust to find oudt if de vadder vas
vet. Yet dot iss vot We hafe been doing
for sometime schumping here und dere
ind We didn't got anywhere. Vas l not
right? Yah, sure now vot We all want to
do is to schump oudt of de droubbles dot
We schump into. You will find dot it vas
schust as easy as de odder
First ding dot you will hafe to do vas
to wake up und stop sleeping und den
make up your minds dot you vas going to
do as your modders wanted you to. Poys
you will nefer go wrong if you do dot.
Vot you dink?
Does it pay? Dot iss und vas de ques-
ton dot We Won und all should ask. We
will not hafe to wait very long for de ans
wer Combare your life to dot of Won
Christian, und notice how happy he vas.
Why vas he so happy? Schust because he
knows dot he vas doing dot which vas
right.
Now Why vas We so unhappy? Veil I
don't dink / will hafe to answer dot for
We all know. Our lives vas schust vot
We make them und We can blame no Won
but ourselves. Let us for vonce und al
ways couple our engines to de train of
HONEST LIVING. We will not miss de
old train of DESTRUCTION for it will
travel on. You'd We be happy? Veil /
schust bet you We would. 1t won't do you
any harm to try it.
To dis train of honest living We should
carry three coaches mitt US always. De
coach of TRUTH should be coupled on
first, for mitt oudt dot We wouldn't travel
far. 1t vas de means of getting US on to
our station in life. Den We should hafe
coach number two-HONESTY. Dot is de
Won dot will nefer leave de track unless
you want it too und it will always be near
de engineer. Last We should hafe number
three-de fear of Colt. For mitt out him
We cannot do anydings. Try all of desc
three coaches und it will answer all ques-
tons.
Now We hafe our train, We will now
