III Recorded Weekly by

To play bail all day on Tarry Street,
Leaving your errands for others
feet,
To stop. or shirk. or linger. or
frown,
Is the quickest way to Put-off
Town.
And now an impertinent Ques-
ton. Do you live on q prominent
corner of this Put-off Town? II
so, better move to an equally prom
inent corner Of the progressive,
forward-looking city called Right
away. Learn not alone to say 81
am going to" but prove your prom
ise true by doing it without delay.
Right now for always cancel your
membership in that Ancient Order
of But'rs."
And now a slightly different di-
rection of thought. In the city OF
former residence a public-spirit-
ed man of means commissioned an
Italian sculptor, Trentanova by
name, to fashion a monument In
bronze to express him and the COM
munity's appreciation of the SER
vices rendered by the young man
hood of this city in the fighting of
their nations wars. Many times /
have stood before it in admiration
of its beauty and its artistic merit.
AS / half close my eyes. my men,
Ory brings back to me its salient
features-a life-sized group of
three soldiers, with muscles tense
and weapons threateningly poised,
rushing into battle. And so strik-
ingly has the sculptor conveyed the
seems that at any moment the
fighters will leave the monuments
supporting base and charge for
ward into conflict. But" they
don't. Years have gone by and they
are just where they were when
first they attracted my attention.
Always seeming to move. they
stand still: poised to go forward,
they go nowhere; seeming to fight,
they do nothing.
And sometimes when hear lag
gard Christians tune their voices
to the lusty singing of Onward,
Christian Soldiers, Marching AS To
War;" / think of this sculptored
group. They, too, simulate action
and advance, "but" show none. 1t
appears at times that in some sub
stantial way they are going to ap-
ply themselves to the Lords work,
'sbut" time fits by and little or
nothing is accomplished. Often
they are quick to say I'VE are go
ing to, "but" they don't. o, IL we
could only erase this ''but" from
Christians lives!
Here is an eraser, my friend;
rub it out of yours. Do it now.

4 AM GOING TO, BUT
@PrOcrastinatIOn Is the thief Of
time.1Young.

If somebody with keen percep-
ton were to organize a society call
ed 'aThe Ancient Order of But'rs"
l could suggest quite a number Of
prospects for membership. Here,
for example is Mr.. Dillydally; he
has all the qualification necessary
for being a charter member. BY his
side stands Mrs. Putitoff who lives
on a dead-end street called Delay;
it leads nowhere. They both have
many sisters and brothers. We
would not deny that many of them
mean well, "but" when you ap-
proach them to shoulder some COM
munity task or solicit them to share
the work of some project their
church is sponsoring, they are al
most sure to say, "Yes, we will do
it, but" and then follows some
inane excuse as to why they can
not do it lust now" One knows
quite we'll that it never will be
done at all. Whenever a "but" is
appended to a promise to do some
thing the odds are ten to one that
the doing will be long delayed or
left to other hands. We pastors
meet many of these "but'rs" in our
work, and many project of merit
launched by the church fails of
fruition because those who prom
ised to share in it put of doing so
until the work could not be done
at all. Too often Gods work per-
ishes as a sacrifice upon the pagan
altar of delay. The closets of the
church are full of the skeletons of
opportunities that died because
they were postponed to nebulous
tomorrow that never came.
The lines of a poem come to mind
here. They are tellingly descrip-
tive of the people I am talking
about Here are the poets words:
Do you ever go to Put-off Town,
Where the houses are old and tum-
bledown,
And everything tarries and every
thing drags,
With dirty streets and people in
rags.
Or the street called Slow lives a
man called Wait,
And his two little boys called Ling
er and Late,
With unclean hands and tousled
hair,
And a naughty sister named Don't
care.
