A few days ago I saw four gen erations in direct line baptised and the church is in better con- j-bg same time.

COLEMAN OWEN. upon grow Words of Wisdom. Hope keeps the heart some. Your goods have little to do with your good. Cupidity easily overcomes the easy conscience. Men must be lifted; they can not be pushed up. The narrow mind is not essen tial to the narrow way. The man who depends luck is usually a failure. As soon as you cease to up you begin to go down. Prosperity may be heaven’s way of punishing some people. The silver lining of a cloud is not visible to the naked eye. If you are put in a place of trial count it a mark of trust. There is no virtue in being patient with the pain you do not feel. The more a man preaches to his neighbors the less they prac tice. The man who doesn’t worry is entitled to a .lot of credit he never gets. The man who boasts of never mincing matters is likely to be chopping up somebody’s reputa tion pretty fine.
