her marriage to Harry Williams on
grounds that he had made fraudu-

Something TO
Think Ab0ut
IN YOUR HOUSE.
By F. II. WALKER

IF YOU are not careful reader of
L the Bible you may have the idea
that all the miracles which it details
are in the New Testament but if you
will turn to the fourth chapter of
II Kings you may read an enter
things performed by Elisha in the
multiplication of the pot of OIL
Elisha performed many miracles,
but of them all this one is perhaps
the most interesting.
A widow, one of the wives of the
sons of the prophets, tells Elisha that
her creditors have come to take her
two sons as bondmen in settlement of
what she owes.
Elisha asks her what she has in
the house which might be available
to settle the debt. Her reply is that
her only possession is a pot of oil.
At his direction the woman sends
her sons to gather all the empty re-
ceptacles in the neighborhood and
when they have been brought she
obeys the command of Elisha that
she shall pour from the pot of oil into
the empty vessels and this she con-
tinues to do until all are filled and
then she sells enough of the store of
oil to pay her debts and there is suffi-
Client left to supply her and her sons.
What have YOU in YOUR house?
The trouble with most of us is that
we never value very highly the posi-
bilities of what we have.
The apple on the high branch al
ways looks bigger and fairer to us
than the one in our hand.
The job that the other fellow has
always seems easier and more satis-
factory than our employment
The other mans lot always seems
pleasanter than ours and his pros
poets and chances brighter and more
attractive.
The trouble is we do not properly
examine and truly estimate and wise
ly use what we have gin OUR house."
Success is made up entirely of what
we have and how we use 1t.
No man was ever born who did not |
have the possibility of success.
No man ever lived who did not
have plenty of opportunity to sue
ceed
The man who says 81 never had
chance" is just lying to himself as
an excuse for his failure.
Lord Bacon said, "a wise man will
make more opportunities than he
finds" and that is much truer than
the famous poem Senator ingalls,
wrote that pictured opportunity as
knocking only once at a mans door
Or the picture which Rabelais drew
Of Opportunity as a woman with
ock of hair on her forehead but with
the back of her head completely
bald; meaning that Opportunity must
be grasped as 1t comes toward you
for once ii has passed there is
nothing to seize.
Every day has its opportunity.
Most of us think that these every
lay opportunities are not big enough

II don't suppose we will ever find a
