LET US STAND
Lord let ns stand in the thick of
the fight,
Let us bear what we muat with
out whining:
Grant us the vision to do what
is right,
Though a thousand false bea
cons are shining.
Let us be true as the steel of Si
blade
Make us bigger than skilled
and clever;
Teach us to cling to our best,
unafraid,
And harken to false gospels,
never.
Let us be brave when the burden
is great,
Faithful when wounded by sor
row;
Teach as, when troubled, with
patience to wait
The better and brighter tomor
row.
Spare us from hatred and enry
and shame,
Open our eyes to life's beauty;
Let not the glitter of fortune or
fame
Blind us to what is our duty.
Let us be true to the right to
the end
Let us stand to our task with
out whining;
Let us be right, as a man, as a
friend,
Though a thousand false bea
cons are shining.

(Jod na* a personal ana individual
plan (or each Ufa God's plan (01
on* life ta different tram His plan
for another. So often we make the
mistake of attempting to fudge
God's dealings with us on the basis
of His dealings with somebody else,
and we (eel disappointed because
God has not dealt with us in spiri
tual things fust as He dealt with
someone we know or with some
cnaracter In the Bible die Apostle
Paul bad a strange and dramatic
conversion Many men and women,
aa they come into a saving knowl
edge of Christ, have a very quiet
experience. They are not for that
reason any leas born-again than was
Paul
It is a good thing that God does
not deal with everybody In exactly
the same fashion, (or we ail nave
different temperaments and differ
ent dispositions and God deals with
each individual on the basis of
what is best lor him. God certainly
does not expect ua to be all alike.
Why should we expect Him to deal
with us al In the same fashion T
lust before Elijah waa taken up In
An cuariwl ui lire, ne uked blisna
"Ask what I shall do for th«e. De
fora 1 ha taken awa; from thee
<11 Kings 2 9». and Elisha answered
'1 pray thee, let a double portion
of thy spirit be upon me * Tim
was a good prayer He did nut ask
for Elijah's style at preaching He
did not ask foi Elijah's disposition
and temperament He did not even
ask tor Elijah's power He asked
for a double portion of the Spirit
God gives to each of us the gift*
which we shall need to the place
of service God has tor us Eli isn
was dominated by the Spirit 01
God. and that Spirit took Elijan *
gifts and used them powerfully
That same Spirit took Eliiah s gifts
—different as they were- and used
them no less powerfully As i
Christians, we should seek to oe
rich in Divine grace and numbly
obedient to God We should not
seek to imitate someone else in per
sonality or in temperament now
ever godly he may be We shoulo
seek the guidance and the powet
of Ood's Spirit for our own liver
and trust Him to deal with each ot
us In the way that Is best for us % .

~TOO LITTLE”
“Said a precious little laddie
To his father one bright day,
May I give myself to Jesus,
Let Him wash my sins away?”
“Oh. my son, but you’re too little,
Wait until you older grow;
Bigger folk, ’tis true, do need
Him,
But little folk are safe, you
know.
“Said the father to his laddie,
As a storm was coming on,
Are the sheep safely sheltered,
Safe within the fold, my son?
“All the big ones are, my father,
But the lambs. I let them go,
For I didn’t think it mattered,
Little ones are safe you know.
“Oh, my brother, Oh my sister,
Have you, too, made that mis
take?
Little hearts that now are yield
ing
May be hardened, then — too
late.
“Ere the days come nigh them,
‘Let the children come to me
And forbid them not,’ said JESUS
‘OF SUCH SHALL MY KING
DOM BE.’"

Who Said
“NOBODY DOES ANYTHING
ABOUT THE WEATHER”?
« 0*4
This is the loft full of
hay that rains would
have ruined If
these good fanners
had not already
schemed with Reddy
Kilowatt to outsmart
the weather
by calling in this Duke
Power Company rural
service specialist to
help plan their installa
tion of hay drying
equipment
Here art th« simply constructor air ducts of a barn drying
Installation that, in one season alone, saved twice its cost
O&e of the Jersey bobby-soxers that will benefit from hay quickly
and evenly cured, with no nutrients leached out by sun or
rain and a maximum of vitamins and chlorophyll left in. _
Hoy drying is only one of the ways in which electricity is helping to reduce the risks and
increase the profits of farming. For further information, one of our agricultural engi
neers may be reached through your nearest Duke Power Company Office. >
