Vainglory The bible says. "Let not the rich man glory in his riches or the wise man In his wisdom, or the strong man in his .strength," let them that glory, gloty in the Lord: Let us not be deeirau? of vainglory. envying one cnother and provokiir; one another, GuK 5:26. again Phil. 2:3. we read ''Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory," but in lowliness oX mind let each esteem the other, bet ter tiian themselves. Again the good booK kr>ays. something about them that glory in appearance and not in heart. and what a multitude there is ct.this class, and many go beyond the "" w&cunds of modesty in their efforts ::nd defeires to get glory and* honors cf. other people. They care very lit tle for the scripture which savs. ; "Keep thy heart with all diligence. icrr out of it are the issues of life." j Let Us remember the que&tion which Jesus asked. "How can ye believe vvhlch seek honor one of another and rek not the honor which comes from Gcd only." This is the . honor and -lory we all should seek, especially we.' as Christians, the praise, honor . nd ? u-lory . of God, infinitely bigger ? and greater than the fleeting vain glory which, the. world can give. So cfteri u*e allow ourselves to be swA'y < d or blinded by .evir public sentiment ' or 'blinded by. the love of money or . !e:.feur?- and the allurements of the v.'orld thai we':-. miss. the cares and rjlity of this life; The deceitfulness ? :.m? lusts . for other filings onter ' in { mid choke the word, and they become unfruitful.

An occasion | of vainglory and hero worship has lately been witnessed in J*ew York.) lan Lindburgh. the high flyer, what a noise and fuss, commotion, yelling reception has been accorded him. greater than that given ? our army and navy, heroes, thousands of dollars spent in his honor and recep tion while for these needy and- worthy objects e.nd Institutions of charity .all over thin country it could have been raore, ' ^'". .nrnt. If Jesus were to come . in the flesh as he once did nearly two thousand years: ago. He would not ?et the great reception Mr. Lindburgh lias.
