Boys, let’s get down to prac tical knowledge and shorter hours, and leave off this fancy stuff that don’t mqan anything unless you intend to teach geography.

I never will forget or forgive that preacher looking stock salesman that sold me that stuff. And (here were many other evidences of my weakness for getting rich quick. Nothing panned out. I lost everything except my specks and they made me cross-eyed. thing on my stomach. Sometimes I’d have a .smothering sensation and my heart would seem to ’run away.’ My nerves were in such bad condition I’d wake up off and on every night. It was an effort to get anything done around the house. I suffered a great deal with constipation too, and got in th4 habit of taking laxatives. “Since taking Sargon I'm like an entirely different woman. It corrected my stomach trouble, and now even the heartiest meal doesn't bring that ter rible gas bloating and excitement of my heart. My nerves have improved wonderfully, so that I can sleep at night. My housework is no task at all, and I even help out my husband at his store now and then without tir ing. “I used the Sargon Pills along with Sargon, and they regulated me per fectly, and I believe that’s why I don’t | have sick headaches any more.

For instance, the average paved road is 18 feet wide, and the average truck of the typo I am talking about (load ed with cotton or merchandise or oil) is about 14 feet wide. Now when this giant meets a John Henry in the road, John Henry has the right to takq to the woods, run under the truck, jump over the truck, or run into the truck.

While some of these Instructions were given to Idrael, showing what God required of them, we should rs member that Ha requires no leal at our band. 1. Treatment of Hired Servants (Dent 24:14, 15), Political end Industrial power have been used through the centuries In the oppression of the poor and weak. L Oppression forbidden (v. 14). The man who hires out Is usually ; poor and needy. The employer should not take advantage of bis poverty. 2. Foreigners to have the Mune treatment as fellow countrymen. 8. Wages to be promptly paid (v. 10). The laborer was to be paid at the end of the day. The credit system lie Industry Is greatly to be deplored. It places the purchaser at a disadvant age, and causes a bad psychological reaction upon bis personality. II. Fidelity to Contracts (Matt 20:1- 16). In this parable It ts clearly made known that there was agreement be* tween employer and employee as to wages and time. Though those em ployed at s later boor received the same wage, there was no occasion for complaint by those first employed, for they received their wage according to agreement. Fidelity to agreement. Is essential m Industry. III. Unfaithful Tenancy (Mark 12> 1-9). In this parable a valuable vineyard was rented oat to husbandmen. They not only refused to turn over the just retoms to Its owner, hot shamefully treated his servants who were seat t# collect rental. Those entrusted with pome talons and power are under solemn obligation to*make proper re* toms therefor. IV. Contentment With Wages (Luke 3:14). One of the chief difficulties In the Industrial world today is discontent with wages Oftentimes workers fall to take account of the conditions of business even to the extent of gotsg on strike and make demands as to wages which the proprietor cannot \ nil t MlPll" WITH vbftRP* n not mean that one should not be ambitious to prepare himself for a more efficient service and higher wages. . V. Reciprocal Duties of Sorvants and Masters (Eph. 6:59). L Servants are to be obedient to their masters <rv. 59). This obedience should be (1) “with fear and trembling”; that Is. the serv ant should have a proper regard for his master and so earnest desire to please him. (2) With singleness of heart. Servants should perform their tasks as though doing them for Christ's sake. (3) Not with eye serv ice. Acceptable service should be hon est. not merely to please the eye et the one who looks on. but as unto Christ. (4) With good will. This ex presses the spirit of service. It should not primarily be for approval or pay. Christian servants will perform their dudes with the same fidelity aa they would unto Christ (5) Rewarded by the Lord (v. 8T. The Lord takes ac count of our service Id the common rounds of life and will one day re ward us accordingly. y 2. Masters to be considerate (v. 9). Just as servants are to* give whole- neartea constoeration to rnetr mas ters, so masters are to look out for the best interests of their servants. (Ij Masters should dlslst from ; threatenlngs. (2) They should be tm- : partial In dealiugs with" their aerv- 1 ants. VI. Responsibility of the Rich (I (Tim. 6:17-19). - # Riches are possible to Christians, but most perilous. God charges such : L Not to be high-minded; that is, to have a sense of superiority. 2. Not to trust In the uncertainty of riches. 3. Riches to be properly used. (1) To do good. Not for selfish gratification, but for the welfare of others. (2) To be minister to good works. (3) The rich are under ohllga tion to minister to the poor and the needy. NOTICE!
