GRAINS OF GOLD.

We pray the most for whA we do not need. Sin always carries a knife under Its cloak. A fool never learns anything from a mistake. No man does his best who works only for pay. A self-made man always spoils the job somewhere. The cheerful giver is always the one who gives much. Health is another word for temperance and exercise. What a multitude of ugly sins can hide behind one doubt The devil won’t let a stingy man have any mercy on himself. That man Is a thief who is honest only because he Is watched. The birds with the brightest feathers do not sing the sweetest The sheep that goes astray never finds a green pasture for itself. We hate our own sins when we see them full grown In somebody else. There Is a policeman called Time, and he says to every lingering son of man: “Move on.” We will find no permanent resting place In this life, and to-morrow may find us gone.
