Tomorrow Tomorrow, he promised his con­ science, Tomorrow I mean to believe; Tomorrow I’ll think as I ought to; Tomorrow my Saviour receive; Tomorrow I’ll conquer the habits That hold me from Heaven away— But ever his conscience repeated One word, and one only—Today. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow— Thus day after day it went on; Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow— Till youth like a vision was gone; Till age and its passions had written The message of fate on his brow, And forth from the shadows came Death With the pitiless syllable—Now. — The Alliance W eekly General Pershing recently said, "The United States does not need more airplanes or weapons of war­ fare, but an unbroken chain of Sun­ day schools across the continent, equal in number to our public schools." A Family Altar Will sweeten home life and enrich home relationship. Will dissolve misunderstanding and relieve friction that may enter into the home. Will hold our boys and girls to the Christian ideal. Will send us forth to our work for the day, true to our best and deter­ mined in what we do to glorify God. Will give strength to meet brave­ ly any disappointments and adversi­ ties. Will make us conscious through the day of the attending presence of the Divine Friend and Helper. Will hallow our friendships with our guests in the home. Will reinforce the influence and work of the church, the Sunday school, and agencies that help to es­ tablish the Christian ideal through­ out the world. Will honor our Father above and express our gratitude for His mercy and blessing. — Weetey Herald T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S

Wanted: Workers God never goes to the lazy or the idle when He needs men for His service. When He has work to be done, He goes to those who are al­ ready at work. When God wants a great servant, He calls a busy man. Scripture and history attest this truth. Moses was busy with his flock at Horeb. Gideon was busy threshing wheat by the winepress. Saul was busy searching for his father’s lost beasts. David was busy caring for his father’s sheep. Elisha was busy plowing with twelve yoke of oxen.

Our Lord Lives! Herod is dead Pontius Pilate is dead Judas Iscariot is dead Caesar Augustus is dead Voltaire is dead Charles Darwin is dead Nietzsche is dead The Fox Sisters are dead Swedenborg is dead Madame Blavatsky is dead Mary Baker Eddy is dead Pastor Russell is dead Joseph Smith is dead Brigham Young is dead Ellen G. White is dead G. W. Ballard is dead Buddha is dead Confucius is dead Fillmore is dead Mohammed is dead

But Jesus Christ is gloriously alive! This fact is attested by many infal­ lible proofs. What an Incredible difference this makes in what we are, what we have and what we shall be. “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Hallelujah, what a Saviour! —Calvary Church News There is no worse error than to seek an intellectual remedy for a moral grief. First Things First When David Livingstone’s body was taken back to England, crowds thronged the streets to pay tribute to the noble missionary. An elder­ ly man among them was heard to sob aloud, and people wondered at his deep grief. It was revealed that he and Livingstone had been friends in their youth, and, as an ambitious young man, he had scorned Living­ stone’s choice to give his life for Christ in Africa. With a life of self­ ish interest behind him, the man saw with regret who had made the wiser choice, and he cried out: "I put the emphasis on the wrong world.” Many a Christian’s labor is the grave of his spiritual life. —Anton Cedarholm

Matthew was busy collecting cus­ toms. Saul was busy persecuting the friends of Jesus. William Carey was busy mending and making shoes. —Author Unknown. The rule that, governs my life is this: Anything that dims my vision of Christ, or takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps my prayer life, or makes Christian work diffi­ cult, is wrong for me, and I must, as a Christian, turn away from it. —J. Wilbur Chapman
