' At ; 11 ? 'dock , Bishop ' McCoy
preached a very powful and profound
" ' sermon from Prov23t7," "For as he
thinketb in his heart, so is he,". The
. Bishop said in part : Character is a
resultant of things or influences with

characterless,' but aa he V begins to

As the( BTacksmith's muscle is built
up with' reference to what he does,
so does the brain build up and organ
ise jfith reference to what it does.
Man becomes what lie thinks. Tbe
same tool is used by different persons
for diametrically opposite purposes.
' One man would use a common hatchet
1 sto nail the roof on bis bone to shel

, . the same hatchet to hrain bis energy.
