Are You Reasonable?

If ever word was entitled to it's abusers, it is
the word reasonable!
Just think of the way it is used HE will be reason
able" In short he where his interest hes-and
act accordingly, even If it means shading point.
ooh, he's reasonable" With the interference ne
won't be too troubled about ethics. There is sort OF
contempt about the word though the reasonable man
wasn't worthy of much respect.
Now the dictionary definition is quite different. 1t
reads sensible; having the faculty OF reasoning fa-
tional governed by reason in acting thinking
To go further - in defining reason, it reads,
"the entire mental rational nature of man, as dis
ngushed from the intelligence of the brute that which
is right befitting'
Therefore, a reasonable should mean one who
acts thinks things through who is not motlvated by
the animal instinct of sefpreservaton but who does
that which is right.
truly reasonable man will do his thinking.
He will not run with the mob When he figures out
course of action he will adhere to that He will
not be swayed from his purpose unless he is genuinely
convinced and then only in line with his basic prin
ciples.
reasonable will listen to arguments, but he
will evauate both the arguments and the arguer,
alyzing not merely the facts but the motive behind their
presentation.
reasonable man shows moderation in what he does
and says. He spends more time in thinking than ne
does in talking And when he does talk he has some
thing to say because he knows what he thinks.
A reasonable must not necessarily be brilliant
but he is always sound, because he has reasoned
things out and through to logical conclusion
reasonable person is good one to have for
friend He likes you because you not for what
he can get out of you You depend him in good
times and bad
By the way - which kind of reasonable are you?

"Obey the will of God, it is right"
Christmas is sacred day for all
Grown up and children the same
That was in the days of old,
In the modern days, it is a shame.
Automobiles on the Highways
Airplanes up in the air
Ok wagons on the Highway
And it is He'll everywhere
1t is earthly He'll to live in,
Where there is hearts for the Lord
to abide
The love of God is the salvation of
man,
And there is no place for the Devil
to hide.
Christmas day is the birth of Christ
The world should rejoice as a whole
He was born into the world a
Saviour
He shed his blood to redeem our
soul.
Why not obey his fathers will
In all this life we live,
He shielded his blood on Calvary,
On the cross of Calvary Hill.
The Lord gave me a gift to write
True facts and nothing less
am going to obey his will, and
know my soul will be bless.
Every Christian should lift up
Christ
Be strong and help the weak
You are filling Gods house with
members,
And a very few Saints we can meet.
Read and remember what | say,
There will be another Christmas to
come
Strong drinking is not the joy of
God
It is the DEVILS whiskey and Rum.
The Lord gave me talent to write
And to warn the world of her
games
Sunday School Banners hanging on
the wall,
To search who can win them, it is a
shame.
Be a child of God, not a woman
! or man
Obey your fathers will
Christmas is a sacred day
