could strike him to buy anything that
looked old, and he had his house full
of junk. He was going to move and
he had an antique hall clock about
seven feet high, and it had been in
the family for generations. He didn't
want to trust the drayman to haul it,
for fear he'd break it. So he thought
he'd carry it. He put his arms around
it and started down the street. A
drunken fellow came staggering along
and said, Bob, WHY the devil don't
you buy a watch and carry it,"
A long face is one of the most dis

if you are in trouble, doesn't God
know about it? Won't God do some
thing at the right time?
Four In the
Furnace
When the two men were put in the
fiery funace-or the three men-the

Old Nebuchadnezzar got out and
said, Build the golden idols" and
they said. Everybody down"
All did, but three Jews. He said,
go tell those fellows l give them an
other chance"
All down but three Jews. He said,
Throw them into the fire"
So they took those three Jews and
threw them in. When the fire was
blazing, old Nebuchadnezzar peeped
in and said, How many did we throw
| in? There are four in there, and the
fourth looks like the Son of God.'

go in the duty of God Almighty there

Never did Joseph go into a jail
alone. The angel was on the Job and
turned the key. Never did a Daniel
go alone in the den of the lions. If
not, there'd have been more lion on
the landscape and less prophet.
When the sea was rough and the
disciples were having a hard time,
they looked up and they saw Jesus
come walking along. He always gets
around in time. Don't worry, don't
worry! Don't throw up your hands
and think that God has forsaken you
Don't throw away your ticket when
the train goes in the tunnel. She will
get out at the other end.
The Lord is with you, no matter
what appearances may be, that is
