the Worm to show us how humble we ought to be, how helpless we are, and He will be the Hen gathering us unto Himself. When sorrows like sea billows roll, WRECKERS AND BUILDERS I watched them tearing a building down A gang of men in a big town. W ith a "heave h o " and a lusty yell They swung a beam and the sidewalk fell. I asked the foreman, "A re these men skilled?" The kind you would hire if you wanted to build?" He laughed and said, "W hy, no in deed, Just labor, common labor, is all I need. They can easily wreck in a day or two What builders have taken years to do." I asked myself as I went my way Which of these rolls have I played today? A s a builder who works with care Measuring his life by rule and square? Shaping my deeds by the verticle plane, Or, am f the wrecker who had lost the town, Beset with the labor of tearing down. He wants us to rest in Him. He will take you in and never cast you out. He will give you peace that passeth understanding. A PLACE TO STAY You may be planning a trip to Southern California in the near fu ture. If so, why not stay at our Biola Hotel in downtqwn Los Angeles? It adjoins the historic spiritual light house, the Church of the Open Door. Rates are kept at a minimum and, of course, all proceeds go directly to ward the training of Biola young- men and women for Christian service. Since there are only a limited number of rooms, it will be wise to write ahead for reservations. * * * Real tact is thinking all you say, but not saying all you think.
