Love your enemies, bless them that curse you. do good to them ths* hate you. and pray for them that despltvfully use you and persecute you.” The word "love" a* not natural affection, but a love that comes fr<>m divine grace.

Here is th" secret of effective Christian work. Real concern for the welfare of another will usually awaken a responsive love on his part Do not measure yourselves Dy others, but by God and his revealed truth Do not think that you are good enough until, like the Heavenly Father, you forgive your enemies, love them, and pray for them that persecute you. V 47 "And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publican* »o?" Christ expect* a higher standard of conduct of h's followers than lie does of the people of the world. V Is. “Be ye therefore perfect, even a* your Father in heaven is perfect."

HOME EDUCATION Being a Good Sport Too many think that tiring a good sport is Indulging In something questionable to be like others Doing this makes one a had •port. To be a good sport ia either to lose or win but to do ft manfully, giving othens their due credit and more. The boy who wins the game Is a good sport when he congratulate* his rival winner honestly. Thbmas Lipton was a good sport when every time the "Shamrock” lost he would build another one uid try again. That student Is a good sport says: "It was my faul.. I did not try hard enough; and I will try It again." The one who Is sick and must endure great pain Is a good sport when ho tries to be cheerful and bring happiness to others. D. Carl Yoder.
