Sins ore like car headlights; that Is, the other fellow's are always more glaring than your own. . . . . Have you noticed ... When the other fellow is despiteful, he's ugly ... when you act that way, it's just your nerves. When the other fellow is set in his way, he's obstinate .. . when you are, it's just firmness. When the other fellow spends a lot of money, he's extravagant . .. but when you do, it's just generosity. When the other fellow picks flaws in things, he's cranky ... when you do, you're just discriminating. When the other fellow says what he thinks, he's spiteful or judging . . • but when you do, you're just being frank. "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." • The bod thing about little sins Is that they grow up so fast. . . . . . Christ haS no hands, but our hands to do His work today. He has no feet but our feet to lead men in His way. He has no tongue but our tongues to tell men how He died. · He has no help but our help to bring them to His side. . . . . . TO A FRIEND I spoke to you about your soul today. Perhaps you wished that I would go away And say no more and let you be. But, oh, My cherished friend, if you could only know The longing in my heart for you, the dread Of looking forward, after you are dead, Unto that uncertain day when you must stand Before the Throne of Christi Works of your hand, Fruits of your heart, will not avail, for He Will ask you, "What did you do with Me?" Dear friend of mine, there is no other way Except through Him, whom you deny today. How could I bear it, if in your despair And bitter grief, you cried, "Did she not care Enough for me to speak? to point the way? To save me from this anguish and dismay?" My heart is bleeding thinking of your woe, Your terror, and your helplessness, and so I spoke to you about your soul today. I could not leave you, could not go away.
