The Greatest Commandment
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and 'wit A
all thy mind." . .
This commandment was given the
place of supreme importance by ' the
greatest of all teachers. Let us. there
fore, study it most carefully.
Why shouldfwe have so great a love
for our Heavenly ,Father? Iiiit just
because He created us? The scrip
tures tell us that, in tin; time-of his
afflictions Job wished t?.;U he had
jievr lived r.nd "sinned not witn his
lips." It is. not for the gift of 'mere
existence but for the hope of a joyful
future that we should feel most love
and gratitude toward the Almighty.
"For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son. that who
soever believeth ,on Him should not
perish but have everlasting life." .
Another reason for giving God our
sincerest love is- because of what he
is. In Him all the. good qualities which
we admire in great men are found in
unmeasured quantity yet in perfect
balance. In us poor mortals much
harm comes from one good quality
being developed out of proportion to
others. To make clear what I mean
let us have an illustration. A parent's,
heart often contains more jove than
courage-. As a result the patent does
not give the son needed punishments
and his1 love for the son is no better
in its results than mere indulgence.
In God's character allgood charact
erstics are as we said, found in the
right balance. Therefore we can find
in Him the only perfectly safe and
perfectly grand ideal. If we copy His
character into our lives we must con
stantly run away from all that is
weak, transient, and sinful and fill
our souls with "things eternal." By
so doing we. are led tn the way that
means supreme happiness for us.
- We love God because, instead of
depriving us of , happiness' as the
world supposrs, the Christian is gfvtrn
"life more abundantly." But in lov
ing Him we should not forget that
we are to love with soul and mind as.
well as with our hearts. If we love
in this way we will think on church
problems even more earnestly than
we study business propositions.

Uncle Sam is the best buyer in the country. When he makes a purchase he gets the highest
quality at the lowest price.
It done through competitive bids.
Recently the local Forest Service headquarters was in the market for a quantity of. cots,
springs and mattresses. Mr. Shields, the supervisor, advertised for bids. ' .
: Among a large number of bidders FRANKLIN FURNITURE COMPANY was lowest. We

We are proud of this letter. It shows what a local furniture concern can do against the strong
est competition in the United States. ,
And you can put this fact in your pipe and smoke it. If we can. save Uncle Sam money, why,
we can save you money. Try us out on that assertion.
Here arethe reasons. We have a direct connection with manufacturers, thus dodging the
middleman's margin. We have figured our profit at the minimum, and depend on a fast turnover
and an augmented volume to bring us through. And we are glad to say, our business increase
is justifying this policy. -
If you have an order to place for any kind of furniture or furnishings, get our bid.
Remember, we beat 'em all, and sold Uncle Sam! , " ' . 1 "
