LOVE IN YOUR SERVICE.

LOVE IN YOUR SERVICE.
Put love into your service. Wheth-
er you are obeying God or helping
others, if there is no love behind
your deed, your service is formal,
lifeless and unlovely. God does not
value the offering that is made be-
cause of sense of duty, any more
than your friend prizes gift which
YOU bestow because you feel that you
must. Loveless service and loveless
sacrifice never warmed single heart
nor lifted life single inch nearer
God.
The midweek prayer service at the
Methodist church last Wednesday
night was most impressive. The pas
tor baptized and took into the
church a Spanish woman who had
been converted to Christianity from
Catholicism. She came four miles
from tn ecountry to declare her al
legiance to the Saviour. ISN'T 1t
wonderful how God gets glory unto
himself even in an unpopular prayer
meeting?
When you are sailing in nasty
weather don't forget to blow your
fog horn. There's no use wrecking
somebody else
AS a rule, the successful man is not
always the one of unusual ability, but
rather the man who has a bulldog
grip on a definite purpose. Just as
well give man like that plenty OF
elbow room.
No foundry FORCES the weapon that
can STAY the man who stands by his
honest convictions.
