Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 285, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 December 1910 — “As a Man Thinketh.” [ARTICLE]

“As a Man Thinketh.”

Many there are who like the publican of old, like to appear better than they are, and some effect to appear worse than they are? but one thing is sure, the Lord trieth the hearts and as a man thinketh and feeleth and wllleth in his heart, or inner sou 1 , so he is. It is a solemn and a suggestive thought that the Almighty, with the searching rays of his holiness, searches to the hidden framework of every life, to the very substrata of every soul. The proper prayer, then, for every individual is, “Lord, in the hidden parts make me to know wisdom.”
