His very own is not ours. n
mule cannot pull while he is kick
ing-and he cannot kick while ne
is pulling-neither can we." Moral
is" keep pulling, quit kicking.
We are not bound to win, but we
are bound to be true. We are not
bound to succeed, but we are
bound to live up to what we know
to be right; we must stand with
any one who stands right; stand
by with him while he is right and
part with him when he goes
wrong. Bible truth is of God, and
men, will not crush it. Truth
crushed to earth will rise again.
Hitler and many others could
be named, were book burners.
Don't be a book burner or a con-
demer; what may benefit one may
not benefit the other. What will
poison one, may save the life of
another; 1--WE are referring to the
soul.) We cannot save our flesh,
flesh cannot enter the Kingdom of
Heaven; so work to save your own
soul, and don't worry about the
other fellow, for he may save his,
and you loose yours from worry
ing about him. God put what
words were needed in the Bible;
it is human translators that add
words to the Bible that are not in
it. Let's not add words to the
Holy Scripture.
