pointed out repeatedly, all these things occur after the church has been re moved. Then there will be “the be ginning of travail.” Let us not mis- identify the current events with hap- DON'T QUIT When things go wrong, as they some- times will, When the road you're trudging is all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest— if you must— but don't you quit. Life is queer, with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learn. And many a failure turns about When he might have won, had he stuck it out; Don't you give up, though the pace seems slow— You might succeed with another . blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup; And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out— The silver tint of the clouds of doubt— And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit— It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit. penings that will transpire. Today’s developments cast a shadow of the things which will occur in the days ahead.

Dr. Charles L. Feinberg, dean of Talbot Theo logical Seminary, goes over radio script with
Mrs. Margaret Sanders, organist. HIS WAY IS BETTER
How easy it is fo r us to fa ll into the trap o f criticism . When we once begin to find fau lt and are caustic about others we discover that, as a cancer, this disease spreads to every a rea o f our life. Many years ago there was a g reat man o f God who was used not only as a soul winner but also as a g ifted m u s ic i a n . His name was Charles M. Alexander. A man came to him at one time and said, “I believe in leading men to accept Jesu s Christ but I don’t like your m ethod very well.” Mr. A lexander sm iled and swal lowed his pride, responding, “Well friend, n either do I. Tell me, how do you do it?” The man was somewhat stunned by this response and he told him,. “Well, actually I don’t know as I do it at all, but I ju st don’t like the way you do it.” This great man o f God w isely responded by saying, “Well actually then, come to think o f it, I like the way I do it much better than the way you don’t do it.” The question is how many souls have we won to the saving knowledge o f the L ord Jesu s Christ, fo r that will be the final p roof o f our devotion to the Saviour. L et not the bittern ess and gall o f criticism ruin your life and testimony. * * * Some of our greatest bounces are the re sult of the fall that pride went before. 8
