the greatest test of his career in the

In the top-most pose she is quite
intense,
And truly wonder I from whence
Her tiny thoughts have come or gone,
fingered long or quickly flown.
The lower pose, weather in smile,
Makes me wonder all the while
How she could ever be so gay
Smiling all the time away.
Maybe the angels tickled her toes,
Or the very tip of her tiny nose;
Or under the edge of her chubby chin,
For her to wear such a gorgeous grin.
But that very baby can cry and cry,
With tears OVERLOOKING each sky-blue
eye;
Now which had you rather see null

Frowns or smiles for the passer-by?

Today's Church
Message
CHRISTIANS FIRST DUTY.
BY REV. ]. l.. NEESE,

CHRISTIANS FIRST DUTY.
Undoubtedly the first duty of a
Christian is to worship God. Before
he joined the church it may have
been his need to hear sermons, but if
he once gets it into his head that his
primary purpose in going to church is
to listen to the preacher he has miss
ed his vocation as Il disciple Of Christ,
Thou Shalt Worship the Lord thy
God" and that is just as obligatory
when the minister is n poor preacher
as when he is spell-binder. Many of our
parishioners never think of going to
church unless they are going to hear
somebody speak and it is a rare man
who can be interesting fifty-two times
a year.
