CHRIS TITAN RELIGION HOL DS OUT ETERNAL
HOPE FOR men AND WOMEN Who BELIEVE IT


life. is doing it not because he wants
TO die, but in hopes that he might es-
cape something here on earth. He
has been battered by the storms of
lif; he has had troubles that are too
much for him, and he has lost the
hope that in this life he will be able
TO gain the things that he desires.

eide, he has gone to his death in hope
that there will be something better for
him in the world that is to come.
But suicide, or not, there is CROP
ing for something that cannot be
found. Ingersoll, the great atheist,
called to Washington to preach his
brothers sermon. paused In the midst
of it, with the tears streaming down
his cheeks and cried out, Life is
short way between two dark and
bleak extremities, we cry out in our
distress, hoping to hear the sound of
a voice and the swish of wing"
Sees Hope In
Hereafter.
Iron Quill, writing of the washer
woman, and her faith says that she
has something in her heart that he
has not, that something that will car
ny her over her troublesome path. He
realizes, unbeliever that he is, that
there is a power that can take man,
and rescue him.
Every wretch condemned to die
still tries to hold on to something
which to connect his life, it is a trait
of human life that cannot be erased,
the hope that there is an eternity.
Scott, on his deathbed, asked his
son-in-law, Lockheart, to bring the
book What book?" THE Bible"
he said There is only the one hope
that cheers us when life's hours are
darkened, the hope that the Bible
holds for for us. 6
Heart Wants Rest
Beyond Grave.
There is a craving of rest on the
part of the human heart. 1t wants
rest, peace, life. And it has a hope
that it will find those things, though
it searches through the high places
and the low.
The hearse backs up in front of
each home, rich or poor. 1t is as i'm
: partial to the home of the wealthy
man, as it is to the tramp that comes
to your back door panhandling for a
haDdout.
Senator Clarks daughter lay Ill,
Senior Clark felt so honored that he
sent check for million dollars to
the youngster
But blood poisoning set in on the
mother, and the doctors reported that
shc could not live. Taking from his
pocket the check her husband gave it
10 the doctors. ~Save her and it is
yours" But they shook their heads.
Save her and copper mine shall
ne decided over to you" but she was
beyond mortal help, and in the other
room the lamp of life flickered and
went out.
Had Only One
Hope Left.
All of the money of the Clarks could
not save her. all of the medical skill
that could be brought to her bedside,
was of no avail, and she died. She
had but the one hope left, the hope
that every man has, the hope of an
eternal life.
You cannot tell of the love Of God.
Picture if you can your love for your
wife. Try to put 1t into words that
will express your feelings towards her.
There are not words enough in the
human language to express such a
feeling, and tell what you mean, and
vets it is there.
IN a prayer meeting once, an old
saint who had lived for 60 years on
this earth, was called upon to say
what God had done for him. Rising
to his feet, the old man said, 1T is
not for me to tell in my whole life,
what God does and can do for me in
single day" -e.-
We Cannot Recount
All Blessings.
The things about you, the crops,
the corn, the fields, the growing
things, are examples of Gods good,
ness to US.
Out on the street on Christmas
night some people saw boy, leading
a blind girl by the hand. past the
shop windows.
What are you doing out here" they
asked.
Mother could not buy us any pres
ents." they said. And the brother had
taken his sister out on the night tC
tell her what was in the windows
That was to be their Christmas.
Taking the children into the stores
they loaded up their arms with all OF
the good things that they could find
and took them back to the hove
where they lived. to enjoy them.
In their small minds, they CROPPED
for the words with which to express
their thanks, for the things that they
could not understand, and could say
nothing.
We Refuse to
Thank God.
And yet we refuse to render thank:
to God for the things that he ha!
done for us. For all of the beautie!
of nature. for the clothes we wear
for the food we eat, and for the bless
ings that come to us, in a countr,
that has never known a day of starva
ton, that has always had crops, ant
great riches.
You are dead one if you can't fint
anything in your life to be thankful t
God for.
The world is going crazy lookin;
