There's no argument equal to a happy smile. Imaginary evils have more the im aginary effects. You never find truth by losing the temper. Menial work may be noblest service. Homes are often closest knit abont some grave of separation. Weapons that fly off the handle have little effect on the walls of sin. The leaders of men are not the ones who are trying to get ahead of their fellows. The life that would be fruitful seeks shower as well as sunshine. You cannot travel toward heaven with your back turned to honor. Earthly prudence is a large part cf heavenly providence. When two churches find a bone cf contention you may be sure the devil has the meat. Many a man thinks that taking a lease on a front pew gives him a free hold on a corner lot in heaven ; Success is not in an endeavor to do a great thing, but in repeated endeav ors to do greater things.
