~] FAVCRITE ILLUSTRATIOR> RJOOEm'LY HEARD In a r ecent newspaper article, I r ead: "A young man once fo1lnd a f i ve-dollar bill in the street. Fram t hat time on, he never lifted his eyes while walking. In the course of years, he acc-amulated 29,516 buttons, 54,172 pins, twel ve cents, a bent back and a miserly dispo– sition. He lost the glory of the sun– light, the sheen of the stars, the smiles of friends, tree blossoms in the spring, the blue skies, and the entire joy or living. n ~-' You kn«M, lll&lJY people today look to this earth for satisfaction, pleasure, wealth and happiness, and have never looked to Jesus Christ for eternal life. They neglect salvation, the greatest of all gifts. "For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his CMn soul?" : -· * ** * i Millions have heard the name of Leonardo da Vinci and thousands ha~ seen this fllll008 artist's most popular creation, i "The Last Supper. n Many years ago, when da Vinci had finished putting the last bit of paint on the canvas, he invited in one or his closest frienis to see it. Viewing it, the friem gasped: "Why, vhat a beautif'Ul. goblet in the hands of Christ?" Hearing this, da Vinci picked up his palette and with one firm stroke of the hand, blotted out the goblet from the picture, exclaiming, "I would have you see nothing except the face of Christ!" It 'a time we as Christians to– day came to the realization that we are the world's only image of Christ, am there must be nothing in our 11ves to mar the perfect vision of the Saviour. "Looking to Jesus, the Author and Fin - isher of our faith." /LY!
