TRUST AND BELIEVE
Whatever our problems, troubles
and sorrows, if we trust and believe
there’ll be brighter tomorrows. And
all that is asked or expected fpm us
is faith that is ynshaken by tribula
tions, that keep growing stronger
. along with the years. So we must keep
on believing whatever betide us.
Helen S. Rice
AGE-WISE
In the passing of another year, a
fresh one’s greeted without fear. For
when you take life day by day, it’s
easier to find your way. With
challenges that must be met, and
knowledge gained not to forget, but
used to gain even more. Each new
year open is a new door. Each new
year is space to grow.
Cheryl J. Phillips
LOVE
Love is not blind—it sees more, not
less. But because it sees more, it is
willing to see less.
Rabbi Julius Gordon
LOYALTY
Great souls are always loyally sub
missive, reverent to what is over
— them. Only small souls are otherwise.
Thomas Carlyle
To thine own self be true, and it
must follow, as the night the day, thou
canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
EACH NEW DAY
It doesn't matter what did befall us.
It doesn’t matter what might have
been, for our yesterdays are all
behind us and every day lets us start
over again.
R. Scarbrough
HEART GIFTS
A cheerful smile, a friendly word. A
sympathetic nod are priceless little
treasures. They are the things that
can’t be bought with silver or with
gold for thoughtfulness and kindness
and love are never sold.
Helen S. Rice
PIONEERS
There is no smooth and eisy path.
Each one must find their way and
prove their merit traveling on with
faith, from day to day.
Dovie A. Divine
PATIENCE
Iti s not always easy to be patient,
but it is intelligent to be patient. Pa
tience is a mark of strength. Patience
is really our facet of love.

INNER STRENGTH
You can’t have inner strength
unless you are calm and quiet and
composed and have a sense of control
within yourself. Be controlled and
peaceful so that you can consider and
evaluate.
Dr. Norman V. Peale
THE BETTER WAY
The better; way is unfailingly just
that. But it may often be a way of
challenge, of unselfishness, even
terms of risk. For we never know
where the better ^ay may le§d, to
what adventures or life' or nW in
terests or encounters. And the more
we welcome it, the more it will go on
happening for our greafa
: survivof
Survival is a strong and sweet urge
within us. There is a love of life in us.
When we keep letting go and letting
love have its perfect sway in and
through us. Survival is a strong urge
within us and speaks to us through all
creations everywhere.
Bernice Ketchum
FEAR
When fear knocks at your door,
always let faith answer that door.
Oral Roberts
You are as young as your faith, as
old as your doubt, as young as your
self-confidence, as old as your fear;
as young as your hope; as old as your
despair.

CIRCUMSTANCES
Circumstances and situations do
color life, but you have been given the
mind and situation to choose what the
color shall be.
John H. Miller
DIRECTION

winds of fate. As we voyage along

.... - hw. Beecher
Everybody is making speeches
these days—in the pulpit, at civic
clubs, before lodges, schools, and
other groups. Someone has jokizgly
said, “It has got to the {dace today
that whenever two men meet on the
street, one of them pulls out a gavel
and calls the meeting to order.”
So many are the meetings, and so
great is the demand for speakers,
that anyone who has attained a
degree of prominence or popularity
may be called upon to give a speech.
For those who may not have wide
experience, the following suggestions
are given:
1. Who is going to be present?
Men? Women? Young people? A mix
ed group? Your choice of material
will depend a lot on those who are to
hear you. The Woman’s Club is in
terested in something entirely dif
ferent from the DeMolays, and the
Kiwanis Club from the Boy Scouts.
You will not want to preach an
evangelistic sermon to a group which
has no sinners to convert, nor would
the PTA want a lecture on
metallurgy. Be sure your speech fits
your audience.
2. What is the purpose of the talk?
Is it to inform? Teach? Inspire?
Challenge? Stir to action? Deepen
faith? Entertain? People are too busy
to listen to speeches, that have no
point to them. Be sure you know,
before you start, exactly what you
hope to accomplish' ’*
3. Choose an interesting title. This
will create interest, arouse the
curiosity, and tell something of the
topic to be discussed. If a minister
were to announce, simply, "Faith,"
nobody would be particularly in
terested. But if he were to choose,
“Can Faith Move Mountains
Today?” people would wondsr yhat
he was going to say. Be Wreyou do
not mislead- '

Death," and then give them § sermon
on money, liquor or gambling. They
will feel they have bean tricked, and
will not trust you again.
4. Where will you get material? If
the spee-". is before a church group,
you will want to use (1) the Bible; (2)
a Bible concordance; (3) a Bible dic
tionary; (4) a Bible commentary; (8)
books of illustrations; (f)
events; (7) history; or (8)
If you are speaking to a
group on a secular topic, you wiB find
books in the public library written by
men who are authorities in their
field; encyclopedias will give you a
background of the past, andmugs
accomnlished. and trade or nrufes
■tonal magazUes will bring you up to
date. You will also flpd that inter*
views and penmnal experience* pro
vide much interesting material.
9. Hue will you arrange the
material? Keeping inT thihd: the
