£ How often the desire to share “spicy" news causes us to
damage people’s lives. Why is it so delightful to spread a
glanderous tale about someone?
J One person asked another, "You don’t know so and so very
Well do you?" The other person’s wise reply was “Yes, I do,
Se*s a good friend of mine," which effectively stifled the attempt
#o spread gossip.
v Even if the party in question was in the wrong, what conceivable
food can come of spreading and doubtless enlarging the tale?
We’re terribly starved for excitement and color when we resort
|o the negative and destructive as the subject of our conversa
tions.
. And remember, when we pass along such tales, our listeners
grill remember that we are not the sort of persons to tell anything
worth remembering. That usually results in our becoming starved
ifor any significant conversation, hence, the next tale we tell
gs even juicier than the last and we lose another potential f riend.
■sfo wonder some people are so lonely.
J, There’s a remedy, however, for this cancerous disease,
jjt requires discipline and a genuine rather than superficial
interest in people. This is what really turned people on about
STesus in His day. His was a positive emphasis that sought out
;the good in people. I might add it was a redemptive emphasis.
He would not have died for us if we weren’t worth saving. Even
.those we consider to be the worst of society possess great
, capacity for goodness and love.
\ If we all sought to top that potential in each other, wouldn’t
tlife be extra super!
Christ sees it in you; let Him help you develop it and discover
'real, genuine life.

“When my work
here is done...
When my work on earth has
ended And this feeble life Is
o ’er; Pll be resting over yon
der On that bright, eternal sh
ore.
When I'm nearing chilly Jor
dan I will never be alone; For
my saviour walks beside me
He will lead me safely home.
When you pass around my
casket And we've said our last
goodbye; I’ll be resting over
yonder In that home beyond the
sky.
If you have dear thoughts a
bout me Why not whisper them
to me; Surely they would make
me happy And as glad as glad
can be.
If you wait till I am sleep
ing Never more to wake again;
There’ll be walls of earth be
tween us And I can not hear
then.
When my body is lying still
In that cold and narrow bed;
Pll be restlngover yonder Whe
re no farewell tears are shed.
F ree from trouble; F ree from
heartaches; Free from sorrow;
Free from care; Pll be rest
ing over yonder In that^iome
so bright and fair.

Doe* the alarm clock get you up? No, it merely
tell* you if* time to get up. Whether you get out of
bed is a matter of discipline.
Church bell* don't bring anyone to church. They
simply remind Christian* where we ought to be on
a Sunday morning. The rest is a matter of discipline.
Such discipline, whether it calls you to work or
to worship, is fundamentally a trait of your own
character. It begins with earnestness, it is strength
ened by habit, it is directed toward any responsi
bility or opportunity which you value.
The value a person puts upon God and his own
soul usually determines whether he worships each
Sunday, or now and then. Put another way: the man
who knows what worship and inspiration can mean
in his life never is hesitant to get up and go.
And, of course, discipline has special meaning
for a Christian: those who lived and worked with
Christ were DISCIPLES.
