Most great writer's discover
many OF their great truths from ex-
perence," said the pastor. There
was no writer In the Old Testament
with a more varied experience than
David. He was able TO give full
expression 10 all OF the emotion
and convictions that flow that wide
experience. David's convictions
from his wide experiences enabled
him TO understand mans degrade

that he Is only uplifted by the en-
ergy OF the love of God. when he

stronger character. it Is your duty
TO exercise that love that is In your
heart. reach down with a friendly
and helping hand TO guide and
guard and uplift yonr neighbor. In
stead OF this, we see the well-off
and the educated class building
walls between themselves and
their brothers by organizations
that exaggerate their cgotisms and
create social distinctions. True
Christian love lies dormant in their

their less fortunate friends and
neighbors. There is only the emptv

the qualification OF their vanity and
egotism- The words OF the Great

draw all men unto him.

bad conditions that others are
forced TO live in. Humble yonr-
self in exalting others and God will
exhalt you. Enter into the service
OF God with the proper spirit and
God will not fail 10 exhalt YOU. AS

You are not fulfilling all OF the de-

upon your heart. The obligation 10
serve and save, TO lit up those
