Suggestions
This lesson is full of practical sug
gestions. One is by Jesus concerning
little children. Lets reflect for a
moment upon some of the qualities
of childishness. The outstanding
characteristic of a child is faith. The
| little child accepts gladly and with
out reserve the council of parents or
\ friends without any question what-
i ever. We, as grown-ups, must exiiibit
| and practice the same faith in regard
to our Heavenly Father. The greater
a man’s achievement or the greater
his wealth the harder is it to have
| this simple childlike faith, but it is
j not impossible yet it is more neces-
' sary than ever for him to exercise
ithis faith. Achieving, men knows
' what human ability is. No matter how
rich or great a man may become, ne
can still have this childlike faith in
hs Heavenly Father and in addition
to obtaining wealth in this world ne
can also become an heir to eternal
life. Jesus loved the rich young rul
er too well to leave him alone in the
i one deficiency that he had. The Sav-
j iour would and did tell him what his
' trouble was. Jesus tells him to go sell

These years since 1 have been on
the wrong side of 70 I have been
subject to cold feet and that’s a bad'
ailment, either literally or figurative-!
!>'• As mine was literal I have spent'
tl'.e winter down here in Florida bask-'
ing in the sunshine along with the*
terrapins, lizards and Yankees. f
I haven’t seen so many Yankee^
since Sherman’s torch light parade"
through Georgia. In fact, Florida is’
an island for natives and Georgians'
entirely surrounded by Yankees. The
land covered with them. Hard time! 8

Sherman’s crowd, for they tell m>|*
they can stay here cheaper than the"
can stay home and buy coal. Th ,r
closing of the banks sent many cj
them home while they had enough’
cash to take them there. ,
1 • spent three weeks in St. Peters*
burg where 20,000 of them were. 1
mixed with them daily in great
throngs that made the town look like
circus day or a county fair, and I
never smelled liquor on one or'saw a
tipsy person. In fact I have been in
the state several weeks and have seer,
no sign of whiskey unless a couple
of sailor boys I saw at horse-play
had some. They seemed to be pleas
antly lit up but maybe not.
Petersburg has a large population
of its own besides its 20,000 visitors,
and during my whole stay 1 never
saw but two policemen and they were
directing traffic. They must be a fine
people, visitors and all, to be so or
derly and decent. Many of them are
so old that maybe their meanness
quit them, but in the main they look
like they saw it first and quit their
meanness.
It’s something fearful to be where
you don’t know everybody. To see
thousands of people and yet know
j none of them makes me lonelier than
to be alone. Not to see more than a
dozen familiar faces a week made me
want to go back to Doboy and Cyrus
for entertainment. I guess I‘m spoil
ed. I am so accustomed to folks stop
ping to speak to me, and the young
folks going out of their way to tell
me who they are, that when sur
rounded by strangers I am lonelier
than a “pelican on a house top.”
Folks have always been so nice to me
till I am rotten, and I know it.
These Yankees where I stayed gave
e a cheery “good morning” right
off the end of the tongue with a ris
ing inflection and due emphasis
that final “g.” It was kind of them
and the best that they could do, but
I did long for the familiar sound of
a “good mawnin” just a little faster
than, a cow moos, with that final ‘g”
sunk withuot a sign or trace. Every
thing down here talks through its
nose. Even the loud speakers on the
platforms have a Yankee whang with
none of the throaty sounds, even
when a southerner speaks through it,
I dare say that its a Yankee inven
tion and like me it speaks its native
tongue. Maybe that’s what’s the mat
ter with phonographs and radios that
they have such a whang to them.
Every time I leave home for a
while I go back with a higher value
placed on my friends. Be friendly
with all this friendly world and it
will befriend you. I saw a man re
cently in a park teasing a squirrel by-
snatching his hand away just as the
squirrel would start to take the food
That man was cruel and unworthy of
trust. If that. squirrel had not been
the better of the two ho would have
bitten his tormentor ta the bone. But
maybe that was an intelligent squir
rel that didn’t care to take the
chance of catching hydrophobia by
biting such a brute.
Some months ago a Georgia
preacher gave a tramp a quarter and
then watched him to see what he did
with it. The tramp entered a store
and soon came out eating a loaf of
bread. Near the door was a chicken
coop with one or two old left over
which, like the Latin grammar rules
for parsing verbs, has more excep
tions under the act than is governed
by it. They illustrate the proverb:
“Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly
to be wise.” Here are four texts, two
from Solomon and two from the New
Testament: “Give strong drink unto
him who is ready to perish and wine
to him of a faint heart;” “Wiqp is a
mocker, and strong drink is raging,
and whosoever is deceived thereby is
not wise”; “Drink no longer water,
but take a little wine for thine
health”; “Be not drunk with wine
wherein is excess.” Now I have been

that he might have treasurers in
heaven. And then come take up his
cross and follow Christ. It has been
a question in our mind whether or
not the Saviour would even have re
quired this rich young man to give
up his wealth if he had shown to
Jesus that he was perfectly willing
to give up all.
Jesus often tests man as to iiij
wilingness to do the right thing. The
record tells us that he went away
sorrowful for ire had great pa-ses
sions. We might call this the. Great
Refusal. It was a refusal for that
time at least. So far a we know the
ricli young man was lost, as we have
no record that he ever acceeded to
Jesus’ condition for eternal life. We
can but hope that later' the man ful
filled the condition and followed the
Saviour.
Jesus then makes the statement
about the camel and the needle’s eye
concerning the man who put his trust
in riches. The disciples were inter
ested in knowing then if it were pos
sible for a rich man to go to heaven.
Jesus answered the question in a few
Words, “with God all things are pos
sible.” Thus we see the rich man is
not barred from the pearly gates. We
leave the subject there.

To lose fat an<j at the same time
