never anything wrong with the\ paths of God. They may appear to be crooked to us but it is just an appearance. It is really we who are crooked. We need to be straightened out. In Psalms 139:23 and 24 we read, “Search me, 0 God, and know my hea rt: try me and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way ever- BEFORE I SLEEP TONIGHT Before I sleep tonight, I must review the day; If I have erred in any wise, for God's forgiveness pray. I must be clean in His pure sight before I sleep tonight. Before I sleep tonight, I must lift up mine eyes To heaver» in fervent gratitude my evening sacrifice. For His kind care since dawning light, before I sleep tonight. Before I sleep tonight, I must not fail to pray For those I bear upon my heart, if near or far away. Their names, their needs, to God recite before I sleep tonight. Before I sleep tonight, I need bethink me well, I'm nearer home by one day's march, how near I cannot tell. Then pray that all within me right before I sleep tonight. Before I sleep tonight, .so like that other sleep, I will entrust myself to Him, my faith ful Lord to keep. To waken here or in that light where never cometh night. lasting.” Can you and I pray that prayer today and really mean it? What are you thinking just now as you read these lines? Can you ask God to try you so that you will do that which is pleasing in His sight? We can avoid spiritual ugliness if we are willing to be led in the way everlasting.

When the tomb of Charlemagne was opened more than 250 years ago, his embalmed corpse was found ' sitting stiff and stark upon a marble slab. Clothed in his full kingly raiment, a jeweled scepter still clutched in one of his bony hands, there was a portion of the New Testament on his lap. His dead, shrunken fingers pointed omi nously to a familiar verse of Scrip ture. Can you think which one it would be? The awesome words were, "What shall it profit a man if he shaU gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” How many men there are today who make the same mistake. Their only motive in life is to get more of this world’s possessions while forfeit ing the treasures of eternity. The worst bargain anyone can make is to lose one’s never dying soul in exchange for a few grubby nickles from this earth. Hear the Lord’s solemn warn ing, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.” "The world passeth away and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” 17 IIP ¡ p r ■ m h B f M of Pixley, California.
