WORDS
Always ba cartful what you say
For words art a wonderful gift.
They can comfort out la sorrow,
Or help one who has gone adrift.
Soma art sharp as a baa’s sting,
Others as sweat as its honey
But the Word of God Is always true
And makss all our days sunny.
Thera are words that give us courage,
And words that tall a lie.
1 will keep the words of God
In my heart until the day I die.
So chear up every one of you
God will never let you down.
But be careful of your words
If you want to wear a golden crown.
—Corona Rose Elliot
The foregoing poem toadies a
tremendous Isssoo. It takss wisdom
to know what, when, where, how and
to whom we should speak. God’s word
will accomplish whereunto He sends
ltl Under all circumstances we must
earnestly say, “Let the words of my
mouth and the meditations of my
heart be acceptable in Thy sight, 0
Lord, my strength and my
redeemer."
TREASURE CHEST
The treasures of life are not the
Things
Which the world with gold can
Buy;
But rather the things which are
Hidden from view
Unseen by the human eye.
The Christian heart, like a treasure
Chest,
Holds gems of fabulous worth
Rich Jewels of faith, and hope, and
Love,
Gathered while here on earth.
No thief can steal these precious
Gems
If we give to God the key;
For He alone can keep them safe
For all eternity.
—Ruth D. Carnes
Come now, let’s store up treasures
in heaven that cannot be stolen by
thieves and robbers.
Read your Bible prayerfully and
think!
We can approach life from new
angles and find it gives us pleasant
surprises at every turn.

2TI ow often * a say. "I'll do it tomorrow"; then
by the time that next day dawns we have already
thought up another excuse for postponement,
and thus many of our chores do not get done at
all. It is usually something dreary and unpleasant
that we keep putting olf in favor of other activi
ties closer to our hearts. However, it is often a
job requiring little or no physical effort that
needs to be done: Handing our ways. On one of
those "tomorrows' we are going to quit smok
ing (or whatever), stop finding fault with people,
try to be more punctual, answer our letters
promptly, and attend our House of Worship regu
larly. Let us remember that we have only so
many tomorr ows granted to us, and that it is bat
ter to do (or stop doing) these things now than
to look back on all those yesterdays and wish wa
had, before it was too late. The only time we can
do anything is TODAY.
