The missionory spirit is not something that you have to get, but rather something that gets you.
A MOTHER'S PRAYER I wash the dirt from little feet, and as I ·wash, I pray: "Lord, keep them ever pure and true to walk the narrow way." I wash the dir t from little hands. and earnestly I ask: "Lord, may they ever yielded be to do the humblest task." I wash the dirt from little knees. and pray: "Lord, may they be the place where victories are won and orde1·s sought from Thee." I scrnb the clothes that soil so soon. and pray: "Lord, may her dress throughout eternal ages be Thy robe of righteousness." E'er many hours shall pass, I know I'll wash these> hands again, and there'll be dirt upon her dress before the day shall end. But as she journeys on through l ife and learns of wan t and pain, Lord keep her precious little heart cleansed from all sin and stain. For soap am! water cannot reach where Thou alone canst see. Her hands, and fee t, these I ran wash ... Bu t Lord, I trnst her heart ... to Thee! Remember, it's better to sleep over what you're going to do, than to be kept awake afterwards with what you' ve done. THREE GATES OF GOLD If you are tempted to reveal a tale someone to you has told about another, make it pass, before you speak, three gates of gold, three narrow gates. First. " Is it true?" T hen, "Is it needful?" In your mind give truthful answer, and the next is last and narrowest, "Is it kind?" And if to reach your lips at last it passes through these gateways three, then you may tell, nor ever fear what the result of speec!1 ma~ be. It is safer for a believer to lie down in peace, than to sit up and worry.
CHRISTIAN LOVE IS ... Silence when your words would hurt, It's patience when your nei ghbor's curt. It's deafness when the scandal flows, And thoughtfulness for another's woes. It's promptness when a stern duty calls, And it's courage when misfortune falls.
