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.

SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YEAR
Observations!
By Mrs, A, R. Shivers
We are happy to begin the
I new year with the following
scripture lesson: “Now is come
salvation, and strength, and
kingdom of our God, and
power of his Christ; for the
cusers of our brethren is cast
down.”
We are happy, too, to go to the
Bible to get a plan for
mental procedures. As to
armaments: “They shall beat
their swords into plowshares,
their swords into pruning
hooks......They shall learn war
no more.” “But every
shall sit under his own vine and
flg trce "
Then we will repeal the Elgh
teenth Amendment! That is
when we go to the Bible for
counsel. So important was wine
that Jesus made water into wine
as the first of his many miracles!
