and shattered dreams. But after all
the greatest blessing in life is the
blessing of contentment. Wealth cam
not buy contentment-it doesn't dwell
in palaees-it is Gods gift to the
humble and the poor And listen,
friends, the contented man is never
poor; the discontinued one is never
rich.
Everyone has trouble in this
world. Everyone has his cross to bear,
but after all it is glorious to live and
face the storms that rise dark DER
the way. But despair not, and remem-
Der that the angel of light will hang
rainbow on the bosom of the dark
est cloud, and when the angry furies
of the tempest rush out from its
vapory vaults to harness their thun-
der shod steed 60 the chariot of the
winds, the spirit of love and hope and
optimism will whisper on the Galilee
of every troubled heart, Peace be
still
i Il am glad to see such large con-
/ gregation present here this morning.
1t is evidence to me that you are in
terested in things worth while. / no.
tice bunch of you old reprobates
on the front seats whom | haven't
seen here for some time. You should
come oftener, it will do you good.
You should attend services oftener
during 1927 than was your habit dur
ing 1926. Go to church. Teach your
children to say their prayers and see
to it that they attend Sunday school
and know their catechism or what
the golden text was when they return.
Be good to your neighbors and your
wives and husbands and cut out some
of your cussedness for you are not
going to live always. You are not
really bad at heart, you just think
you are. Get the good book and read
over the ten commandments and the
beatitudes and the twenty third
psalm. 1A

world regulators too, here this morn
/ ing. You should remember that you
can't bring about many effective re-
; forms by the high-hatting route. Tc
do any real uplifting one must first
get under. Learn to actually prac-
tice some of the doctrines you preach
and you might induce people to be-
, lieve that you are really sincere
Now, don't get sore. The trouble with
you is that you haven't read the first
five verses of the 7th Chapter Of
Matthews lately. Read it and take al
inventory of yourself
notice an infidel back there with
, his feet stuck out into the aisle Say
; brother, have you ever looked through
, telescope? Gaze for a moment al
, the countless words which we cal
, stars. Take your microscope and study
the simplest plant. What intellec
fashioned the human body, what mo
tive power is it that drives thai
. throbbing engine, the human heart
What mind less than Masters
. fashioned that divinity that stir,
within us. Whence, and what, if no
In Him is this mystery we call mind
What is this mystery we call thu

Read the first verse of the fifty

Just word of counsel to you. En-
joy life in fullest measure but do i
In a clean, upright manner. Consider
:. abe depends upon you in this worlt
or will in few years. So be care

earth than hooch, if you know wha
mean. Virtue and honesty and up
rlghtness and manliness and goot

created for few other minor pur
poses besides that of dancing 0.
painting yourself like wooden In

church often during the coming yea
and if the sermon seems dull and un
interesting just open the Good Bool
