A man can be one of the worst #inners as he sits In pew or sings hymns and he can be the best kind of a saint while he is thawing a water pipe. The fm- | portant thing is that you live for the Tord, wherever you are and whatever it is your business to 4 “Let’ your light » shine before men that they may see your good works and Elorify your Father which is in heaven.” This means that God expects all to #hine. We can't all be g t preachers- and we ought to be thankfu] for that; we can't all be great s'ngers—and it's a &ood thing that we can't but all can do something, every man can stand for Christ, and let the world know where he stands. We can let the world, the flesh and the devil know on which side we stand. T'll bet the brewers don't smile much when they see your They know where you are white riblons. It's u good thing we are not all preach ers. It's a good thing that we are not all singers. I know what would happen to you people out there if T tried to sing, and I know what would happen to you if “Rody” tried to preach. T'll bet there are a lot of church mem- bers in town who can show so poor a light that you can't tell whether th are for these meetings or against them. ‘That's the reason the devil is having such A good time and that's why he wasn't put in the hospital long ago. A man—a church member—was going up to a lumber camp in the north, and a friend eald to him. “If those lumberjacks find out you're e Christian they'll make sport of you." He went up there and when he came back his friend sald: “Well, how did you get along with the lumberjacks?’ The man answered: “All right. They didn't find it out That's the way with so many people who profess to be Christians. They're church members, but a stranger would have a mighty hard time finding it out, If you are a Mason, everybody knows it. If you're an Odd Fellow, you wear the pin with the three links and everybody knows you are. If you dre a democrat and any one who doesn’t know it makes an attack on the democratic party in your presence, he'll find out mighty quick. Don’t Fight for Chrelist.

Let your light shine. Vir tue is light; vice s darkness. The light of Christianity will dispel the forces of darkness and brighten up this old worid. A Christian light will shine anywhere, The light over my head shines just a brightly here as it does on any place. It is an effort and it comes from & cause, There is a dynamo out there somewhere, and it is making the Light ehine. The power of God is the dynamo that enables us to shine. This lignt up Bere doesn't say: “I don't like to shine in this crude tab- ernacle. 1 could shine so brightly it I only were In a magnificent church wih stained glass windows and carved peva end a big organ backed up in the cor- ner.” No. It will shine angwhere it is put, 0 long as the power Is there Keep your lamp trimmed and burning 1t you backslide, a hundred people may &o to hell on your account.

Where you put salt, it kils the bacteria that causes decay. If a man were to take a plece of meat and smell and look disgusted, and if his little boy were to ask what was the matter with it, and he would say, “It has begun to for disintegrate by the formation of new compounds,” the boy would not under- stand.

Its the polished moral sinner who is the most dangerous. The society woman who has no teligion has a bigger drag for the devil than the girl selling her virtue in the red lght district. People will fol low the mple of the society woman more than they will that of the poor fallen girl. It's because the devil can transform himself into an angel of light that he has lasted so long.

Resolve each morning that you will do nothing that will bring disgrace upon Jesus. Determine that you will make a success in Christianity, even If you tail in everything else.
