RAM’S HORN BROWN

The man who is not a friend will often need one. The appearance of evil often helps the devil more than the real thing. A man with a thinker has done more for the world than the man with a gun. i » Giving us bad health is nature’s way of standing us up in a corner for doing wrong. There are too many folks who stop believing the Bible when things begin to go wrong. There will be disappointment with the music of heaven, unless mother’* songs are heard there. The man who never learns anything from his own blunders couldn’t leant anything in any college. The man who runs his shoes down at 'the heel never blames the right man for his own bad luck. The man who blows into an old gun to see if it is loaded, generally leaves his widow unprovided for. If there is a heaven for fools, the man who expects to get through on his wife’s church membership will be there on a front seat. One reason why preaching is such uphill work is because it is so much easier to knock a man down than to turn the other cheek. —Indianapolis News.
