BACKSLIDING IS MISERABLE
It is a miserable thing to be a backslider. Of all unhappy things that can befall a man, I suppose "backsliding" is the worst. A stranded ship, a broken-winged eagle, a garden overrun with weeds, a harp without strings, a church in ruins--all these are sad sights. But a

I read a fable about a man who was browsing in a store when he made the shocking discovery that God was behind a sales counter.
So the man walked over and asked, "What are You selling?"
God replied, "What does your heart desire?"

New Every Morning
Yea, “new every morning,” though we may awake,
Our hearts with old sorrow beginning to ache;
With old work unfinished when night stayed our hand
With new duties waiting, unknown and unplanned;
With old care still pressing, to fret and to vex,
With new problems rising, our minds

PRAYING TO BE GOOD
When Robert Louis Stevenson was a boy he once remarked to his mother, "Momma, you can’t be good without praying."
"How do you know, Robert?" she asked.
"Because I’ve tried!" he answered.
This brings to mind a story about another little fellow--one who had been sent to his
