STRUGGLE OF LIFE, .
Life is a severe struggle from the time
the mora) decision is made until death,
All must struggle with heredity for all
have inherited good and bad tendencies.
Some are the garbage-box into which
their ancestors have deposited evil while
ithers are just the opposite, Buthered
lty need not determine the destiny of 1 a
life. Many good men come from bad
homes and many bad men from good
homes. Fatalism is no good. The lions
didn't eat Daniel because he was all hair
and back-bone. If some of you had been
in his place you would have slipped down
without letting the beast know there was
a bone in you. Fight your evil tenden
cies with will and backbone and then
insure victory by letting the Spirit of God
come into your life to give predominance
to the good tendencies and you will win
out, Ex.
REMEMBER.
The egotist who is ready to give advice
is as a rule a person who will seldom
take it.
The man who lies low and speaks
only when necessary , will win out ahead
of the continual spouter, .
If a man climbs up the slippery
mountain of prominence and popularity
and is almost at the top, reach out a
hand and pull him on up; don't knock
him back,
No man ever made himself more
popular by finding fault, The men
who are' really beloved are the men
who give merit its due.
