Ewry lie has an echo. If love is blind marriage is a cure for it The fellow who just gets by soon gets left. Russia's theme song: "from victory unto victory." The soft spoken usually say the hardest things. Some dogs have long coats and short pants. < Many things are getting short, even t)ie days. Laziness is energy unwilling to get into action. Government's small ok's soon grow into great ok's. That parity, like charity, oovers many shortcomings. Woman wants her birthday known and her age not known. If a person drinks too much liquor it makes him tight and Jus tongue loose. Uncle Mose: Boas say ever time he ketches me tellin' er lie ah lies out'n hit. The new high levies have made all of us tax conscious but not tax-con scientious. I When you think someone is try ing to make a goat of you he may be just kidding: you. The devil invented lies but obtain ed no patent on them and how every body ia using them. Industry is paying such high wages the devil will have to do something about the wages of sin. Simple Susie says wearing a beard proves that a man is vain and stroking it emphasises his vanity. Overheard: As soon as she gets to heaven she will be trying to start some kind of reform movement there. There are not enough drys to vote oat the liquor that is left, there seems to be enough wets to drink it up. Simple Susie says if children could inherit their .parents religion there would not be enough of it to squabble over. A naturalist says a chameleon is the only reptile that can change its colors at will. He overlooked the l|p politician. - Uncle Mow: De reason de preach k"b sannents ia so long he Mis what he gwinna say 'fore he says hit and adder he says hit he tells what he im* Mid. - S] 1944: THE DECISIVE YEAR ——— This New Year we're beginning njr be the Jtciaive year of the war. W Pacific offensive already is un K way, aimed at the heart ot the nemy—Tokyo. In the Atlantic and fediterranean, the Alliee are poiaed M a concerted attack upon HiUe^i Ik Mirth Fan* 1M4 (Continosd from page 1) disgusted you or called into life a goodly compassion? Indifference will do nothing, disgust will rebuff thorn who try, but oompasBion will do what Jsaos did, provide a remedy. Bp sought thru prayer the help of the Lord of the harvest He did not ask God to pity these poor wretches, he knew pity was not enough, and besides God loved them which is more than pity. He did not pray for God's mercy, He knew they were already, the objects of His mercy. He prayed for help, both human and divine, to bring relief and comfort to these dis tressed sheep. What was needed was willing feet" to go to them, ten der hands to minister to them, consol ing and comforting words to be spoken to them, guides to lead them out of darkness to light; liberators to break their shackles of slavery to sin and blind leaders, so they might recover their sonship which was lost. He not only prayed for these labor ers, but became the finst one to go out to save the lost. He did not ask others to do what he could not do. He would have thought Himself "^committing the "un pardonable sin" to pray for workers in God's vineyard, and then refuse to go himself. So must the church see its world and self, confess its sins, rededicate itself and all it has to the Master that the hungry may be fed, the lost found, the weak revived, wounded healed, and faith cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. We must work and give until we make this "desert blossom like a rose," and the parched ground be come a pool of living water, until the highway to Zion be so plain that a fool need not err therein. 0 Church, great is your work, yet greater is your ability than the worlds needs, and unconquerable is your divine Master and Lord who is your leader. Only follow Him and 1945 will see the dawn of a new hope spring eter nal in the human heart.
