There are many mysteries ir
life, so very many. You wonde,
why it is darkest before daylight
or why do we have sunshine afte,
storm or rain. Sometimes as
it dawns, a foggy mist has shroud,
ed the earth in misty blanket
of gray. These are some of the
mysteries of nature.
In life, why would a man, in g
civilized Christian world, kick an
ether in the shins when the other
mans hands are tied and fee
that he has done heroic deed
The mans with his hands has g
fellow man in the same position as
he, yet this fellow man cheers the
offending man on. He cannot help
his fellowman, because his hands
are tied too, but he could at least
keep his mouth shut. Do you see
another picture of so long ago -?
An innocent man hung dying on
the cross with two convicts on
either side of him. One jeered
him, the other cried, Lord, re-
member me-" This Lamb of God
stopped dying long enough to
bless this dying convict. He said
to him, "This Day Thou Shalt Be
With Me In Paradise" Let us
do most of our talk to God. Men
ought always to pray and not just
talk ad think.
