SENTENCE SERMONS
By Henry F. Cope.
. Only the hopeful can help.
All joy were but discord without sor
row.
You cannot lift up the t people on
whom you look down.
Only 'a dead creed can be embalm
ed in phrases'
. The cure for your own cares is care
for ethers.
There is nothing heroic in home
made heresy.
The only way to lift life is to lay life
dom
No man loses any of his own light
by kindling it in others.
A man's sensitiveness usually is in
inverse ratio to his service .
The secret of being a saint is being
a saint in secret.
It's no use locking like a lemon when
you talk of loving your neighbor.
They seldom transgress any law who
follow where love leads.
Loan this Wheatfield to your neigh
bor. The Wheatfield is the best for
the money.
The only way to make sure of a
clean heart is to watch against the lit
tle smuts.
Most of us rather would do a (lot of
regulation abroad than practice a little
righteousness at home.
Judged by some standards pickles
ought to be powerful promoters of
ipiety.
Many think they are defending faith
when they only are fighting against the
necessity of thinking.
