Not Easy To Pray
For Your Enemies
BY DR.. e, 81 Wnliam,

mo one can claim Christianity
who does not recognize every other
Christian as brother or sister
It's true in a human family; It is
likewise true in Gods family. If
you love, honor, respect and protect,
members of your immediate house
hold and kin, can't you see how
necessary it is TO be so attached to
other ChristlansS
I'VE must learn to get out of our
own narrow circle in dispensing
kindness and benevolence. How
easy it is TO help n person whom
you like or to withhold IL from one
who prejudice tells you Is unde-
serving. 'Tis far better to serve hui
manity than personalities, for we are
too prone to err in our conclusions,
therefore, grossly miscarrying justice
and bcneficencn to mankind.
MANY there are who believe that
conversion is all that's necessary to a
Christian life, but without adoption
and service they won't have n ghost
of a chance to see Gods face in
peace.
How many Of YOU can pray for
that next door neighbor who per
Sists and delights in throwing slime
on your good name? Indeed, il Is
no easy performance, for human ma
turo advises retaliation for insult
and injury. To pray for your enc
mics is an acid test of your Christi
anity.
A host of sO-called Christians will
come up to Gods lodge room and
rap for admittance, only to be told
that they are unfinancial. Keep up
your dues by bearing all things.
praying for your enemies, and doing
good to those that hate you. for the
glory of that day will OvcrshadOw
all the sufferings of Il human life. !"
