~~~NUGGETS OF GOLD~~~ Reformation Is Like Putting A New Shirt On A Man: Regeneration Is Like Putting A New Man In A Shirt. * * * I DON'T WANT GOD'S MONEY He was a nondescript individual, one who would have gone unnociced easily anywhere. Meek and humble, he came each Lord's day to the church, as he said, to pay his respects to the Lord. The church members paid little attention to him as he quietly came and went his way each week. If any gave him a passing thought, it was perhaps tinged with pity at his humble circumstances. Certainly, no one wondered when the offering plate always passed him by. Why nothing was expected from one so poor! Yet, each month, on pay day, he came to the church office, with the tithe of the fuodest salary he made from his lowly position. One day, one of the church secretaries said, "Why do you make this special trip each month ? Why don't you wait and bring it with you on Sunday '" The man slo'o/IY replied, "I can't do that. As soon as I get paid, I must bring my money to the church. You see, I have a bad heart. The doctors tell me ,that I may go at any time. So I want to be sure that my tithe is in the church. I don't want God's money in my pocket when I go." * • • * * * Humiliation Is An Emotion Caused By Sudden Shrinking To Our N ormal Dimensions. j,/
• * * * * * PRAYER FOR A DAY'S WALK God Jet me find the lonely ones Among the throng today, And let me say the words to take The loneliness away. So many walk with aching hearts Along the Old Highway. So many walk with breaking hearts And no one understands. They find the roadway rough and steep Across the batren lands. God help me lighten weary eyes And strengthen nerveless hands. God help me brighten dreary eyes, And let my own grief be A sure reminder of the grief Of those who walk with me. When words fail, hands fail, Let me go on in silent sympathy.
