TllE. LIFE OF HONESTY.
By VIM. II. Mcf.lrON

When Il man starts out to live an
honest life he goes up against an I'M
dcrlakinG that few people have been
very successful in. \ man never
knows the life of man until he
has made NJ in his own mind that
he will live the life Of Honesty. But
rs soon as ne has undertaken to live
this kind Of life he will soon learn
mankind. IT is so easy to say that
you are going to live an honest life.
but YOU find il harder after YOU
have made the start There is no
lite as dear rs the one Of honesty
when truly lived. for all mankind.
But YOU first want to stop and think
the matter over and plan how to
make u start towards a successful
honest life. Md you must rcmem-
Der that every man except an honest
man will be Il stumbling block in
your path. But if YOU are honest in
your undertaking God will open
the way for YOU, if asked by prayer
Although YOU may fall, don't stay
down: rise and try it again and then
walk 1t true TO The light so every
man may see and know your actions
God will bless a man if he trusts
in Him and lives an honest, true
life. And he will enjoy happiness
forever and forever.
