Alderman, Pastor ffi Burnsville Methodist Church I heard a little jiblet of wisdom the other day that struck me in away that had never struck me before. You have heard it many times be fore and maybe you too have never thought of it in this sense. - We were standing out in the Church yard at Winston-Salem, several men were talking. Sud denly one of the men said; *1 was talking when I should have been listening. I should know by now I never learn anything new by hearing my self talk.” I immediately thought of the sermon which I had preached sometime ago, entitled, “Lis ten To God.” The more I think about the wisdom that the man uttered and then think of those words of the Psalmist, “Be still and know that I am God,” I see two of the main weak nesses of man’s spiritual -life. The first is, the man who nev er listens never learns, By not listening one cuts off the flow of knowledge inward. The Psalmist knew this long be fore our day. The man had suddenly discovered a great secret of truth. Then the other thought is one who always insists upon talking and not listening never hears anything. Therefore, when we put these two thou I You hog raisers who are short of grain or with a plentiful supply of garbage will find HH Purina Hog Fatena fi Is the bill when it lIpBSg comes to economical p ork production. jftslqpfl Hog Fatena helps supply the valuable nutri ents for fast grow-th at low cost.

When one is listening to himself, he does not learn, hear, or see ahy* thing new; for all he heard, saw, or learned, he already knew. Therefore, we never learn anything by listening to self. No wonder this world is in such turmoil, because we have , spent so little time' listening ( to God. It seems that we have insisted on talking to God, in stead of letting God talk to us. The most valuable spiritual exercise for any person Is to engage himself each day in a few quiet moments, undisturb ed, listening to God, allowing the Holy Spirit to teach and implanlt Godly acts and ideas into his life. The Psalmist gave even to our day a great step tbwara wisdom and more holy living. When we increase our wisdom we increase our spiritual pow er.
