WALKING WITH CHRIST.
If we walk with thoughts and words of Christ,
he will join us in our journey. He will open our
ears and seal our instruction. It is his manner
to join those who walk. It is his manner not to
give knowledge to his disciples that they may
walk, but to give it as they walk. When Christ
reads his word with us the letters are legible
only to those who run. In his company, travel
ing by his side, we know what it is to live by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
God.—W. Robertson Nicoll. Charity and Chil
dren. '
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness there
with, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.—
Proverbs 17:1.

BE A BOOST]
If you think your church the
Tell ’em so!
If you have it lead the rest,
Help it grow!
When there is anything to do,
Let them always count on you,
You’ll feel good when it is through,
Don’t you know?
If you’re used to giving knocks,
Change your style
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For awhile.
Let the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would a ghost.
Meet his banter with a boast.
And a smile.
When a stranger from afar
Comes along,
STell him who and what you are—
Make it strong.
Never flatter, never bluff,
Tell the truth, for that’s enough.
Be a booster, that’s the stuff,
Don’t just belong.”
