To have the power and to apply it as you need it and control it absolutely as you want to is wha;t makes an expensive car more valuable than an ordinary type-when you want service. So it is with advertising. It is the greatest business power and it is so flexible, that it can be made to meet any business condition.

Both of themi conducted campaigns with which no one could find fault, unless it was that they were not aggressive enough. They discussed the issues of the day with out rancor :or ibittorness. yet with force and energy so that they must have #won the respect of their op)po inents and certainly hold a large fol lowing.

Steadman.) % The most precious passage in the Bible to the lazy man is, Sleep on now, and take your rest!" Trouble drowned in drink Is sure to rise again. Giving to God never bankrupts one. ie only lives who feeds on truth. Convictions are the roots of charac ter. God can tell what we are by what we ask Him for. Some )eople are more concerned' to know where the money they put in thte collection is going than they are to know where their souls are going. The devil is a lie incarnated. Watchfulness is the picket line of the soul. The scepticism of the man who sins and believes he will not be punished is far more dangerous than that of the man who denies the existence of God. The eharacter of the head Is not al ways indicated by the kind of hat that covers it. Bevarse an Eternal God never hI ries wt- are not to conclude that mortai man should not mako haste. Heathen nations that give up their heathenism for a materialistic civiliza tion- get only a rotation crop of Satan. Perfection is possible only to hint who is determined to get away fron self. IHatred or intolerance of evil in others will not atone for lack of love it our own lives. Wo can extend the kingdom of God far more rapidly by being religIous :han we can by talking religiously. Me who has lost the love of God from Itls heart has lot the only power that ctt produce a Christian life. Gbd's flittI for the development of His truth Is human life. God has revealed no religious truth that we cannot live. God blesses us it the closet hut we must not keep the blessing there.
