VOL. XXXIX. No. 9. Mr. May Writes On Living In New Year My dear friends and neigh bors:—As we enter the new year and begin to think about making new resolutions, I think it would be a good idea for you and I to take down the greatest of all books and turn to the seventh chapter of Matthew and begin at the thirteenth verse and read what .Jesus says to you and to me. “Enter ye in at the straight gate, for Wide is (the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruc tion, and many therebe which go in thereat: because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few therebe that find it.” We should consider well which of these ways we are going. Rushing down the broad way seeking happiness and pleasure, is like chasing the end of a rain bow, seeking the bag of gold— it is always just a little farther on, and the foolish rush on they stumble over the precipice and go down into desitructioin. It would be wise for you and to resolve, by the help of Lord to seek the straight and row way, and live like Christian people ought to live, regardless of what others may do, think or say. You and I will have more less unpleasant lflhf experiences with those who O g to he oi.r f menus, . , hut . . are not. Some- _ ones our worst enemies are those whom we have befriended and treated with kindness. When we begin to fret ■of evil doers, we should turn to the thirty-seventh Psalm and read that a. .Id n an of God says to yo = and ' Time T- Is - swiftly •. passing on, and nea ! ? T he h,g (o7 n death, will come you and me. and he will fake u s before the greatest of all judges lo re eeive our final sentence. will hear Him say, “Come ye Messed and inherit the Kn* «dom prepared for you.” or will hear our doom, to Jesus and employ Him as our counsel to settle the ease, and make arrangements for us before that great day comes. We should ask ourselves, in all “Are you ready for that day to come?” The Christian life is not always a pleasant journey in a palace car, or on an airplane, but it is often beset with enemies, sick ness and trals. but in them all, we should be faithful and true. The fiercest conflicts of life are those that are waged on the bat tlefield of the human heart, where the forces of evil and the forces of good contend for the mastery of the soul. In conclusion, let me insist that you read carefully the fifth chapter of Galations. Wishing you the greatest sue cess and much happiness during this new near along th e and narrow way,” I wish to main, your friend and to the end of life’s pathway. W. R. May.
