" SENTENCE SERMONS
By Henry F. Cope.

Charity for revenge Is a dead loss.
He has no friends who makes no
foes.

there is no respect.
Putting pleasure first is a sure way
of postponing it.
Sins that make you lose your head
have the same effect on the heart.
It Is easy to imagine that if you
have the wind the Lord 'will find the

' A good many are trying to wash out

The religion you can keep to your
self is not worth giving away.
It Is better to go forwsrd slowly than
to go round and round ever so fast,
A merry heart kills more microbes
than any medicine.
When a man boasts of his humility
you can depend on his hypocrisy.
Heaven regards the heart that
comes to the altar more than the gift
it leaves there.
If criticism began where charity is
said to it would seldom go any farther.
