CHRISTIAN LIFELINES “Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in i the power of His might” Ephesians 6:10 Life in this modern world is making exorbitant demands upon human strength with th*' result that the casualties in shattered nerves, weaken •< 1 bodies, and sick souls are sadly numerous. And so our hop? for । living on th. highest lex “I lies in learning the secret ot I strength. Our verse is of immt use practical value, for it sjwaks very plainly of ox? rooming strength. ‘My bnthren,’ cri J s Paul, ‘be strong in the Lord, and in the powet of His might.’ Now Paul was naturally a strong m in. But he learned that m re vigor of mind and body can nexer win out in the Christian warfare. Wherefor“ wo find him saving chew Imre. 'U hen I am weak, then I am strong.’ Through affliction Cod had taught him the meaning of tho'e words: ‘My strength is made perfect in weaktms .’ That le— on meant for Paul living with a ‘thorn in the flesh.’ But what power it released in his life and ministry! You are discouraged <<r tin dor fearful, Chri ‘ian friend? Where, th m, are you going lor strength? Oh, learn with Paul that you can be ‘rong in Hie I ord, and m the power ol His might. Yom time of greatest weakness may .come through Him your time of maximum strength. Ministers Os Walkerton and Koontz I^ake ’

Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER THE OIL POND if ANY years ago, sailors off the Gulf coast of Louisiana, in time of storm, put into a Uttle bay that was known as the Oil Fund, where there was a perpetual calm. Oil oozing out from the low-lying shore kept the water calm. I have never verified the story of the Oil Pond, hut I do know that the Gulf coast of Louisiana is JUST A THOUGHT: Acquisition of wealth and riches is no guarantee of happiness in this world or the here- 1 after. We find happiness in what we do and what we are and success in this regard makes different demands of every man. rich with oil and that out in the Gulf, several miles, the drilling for oil gues on by day and night. Throughout the land the lofty derricks pierce the skyline and miles out in the Gulf great platforms are built from which the oil companies send their drills down through maybe a hundred feet of water and then into the Gulf floor. This has been a vast and moneypaying operation and the State of Louisiana, along with Alabama and Mississippi will profit, if the Supreme Court will reverse its decision and rive them as far-out boundaries as those given Fiori ia and Texas. However tha f may be, or will be. Louisiana is changing from an agricultural to an industrial economy. But this much we know that amid all the impressive chances that are coming to the land the good God who made it all, will remain the same in His love toward the men He has created.
