Calling for his secretary, he stretched out before his visitor a measuring line. On the one side was his affidavit, in which he said, “ I have measured one o f the big trees o f California; its cir cumference is 105 feet, its diameter, 35 feet; and the height was to me so amazing that I hesitate here even to suggest it.” Then he said to Dr. Chapman, “How' large would you think the seed o f a big tree like that might be?” When Dr. Chapman asserted that it ought to be o f enormous size, he received into his hand a number of these little seeds, and they were smaller than a lettuce seed. Even so it is with sin. An evil imagination encouraged, an impure thought harbored,. an unholy ambition controlling us, and the work is begun, but the end no human tongue is able to describe.

TWINKLING OF AN EYE
A girl went to a Catholic priest and confessed that she had incurred the sin of vanity. “What makes you think that?” cried the priest. “ Because every morning when I look into the mirror,!’ she replied, “ I think how beautiful I am.” “ Never fear,” said the priest. “That isn’t sin—that’s just a- mistake.” , Some fancy that they have attained sinless perfection, but the mirror o f the Word o f God should be sufficient to show them that it is a mistake. The nearer men come to Christ, the more they feel how immeasurably far short they fall o f the beauty of holiness found in Him.

. “A mother o f a family,” writes the Rev. Adolph Monod, “was married to an infidel, who made jest o f religion in the pres ence of his own children; yet she succeeded in bringing them all up in the fear of the Lord. I asked her one day how she preserved them from the influence o f a father whose sentiments were so opposed to her own. This'was her answer: ‘Because to the authority o f a father I do not oppose the authority o f a mother, but that o f God. From their earliest years my children have always seen the Bible on my table. This holy Book has constituted the whole o f their religious instruction. I was silent, that I might allow it to speak. Did they propose a question, did they commit a fault, the Bible answered, reproved, or en couraged them. The- constant reading o f the Scriptures has wrought the result which surprises you.’ ” i

M ay 23, 1928 T e x t: Rom. 12:6-8
A clockmaker in a European village was commanded to make a clock for the village with a proper sentiment across its face. The clock was finished, but the town fathers had no sentiment to furnish. The clockmaker’s importunity angered the fathers and they ordered him away time and again. At last they chal lenged him, “Mind your business.” The clockmaker, thinking this was the sentiment, wrote it across the face o f the clock. Surely it is true that every clock in the world is saying just this to men—“Mind your business.” Time is short and if you would finish your task you must keep at it.
