Ram’s Horn Wrinkles.

A lost opportunity never finds its way back. Crooked steps are the most apt to be noticed. Death only changes the surroundings, not the eternity. Most people believe in the total depravity of somebody else. A drop of dew tries to do God’s will as hard as a thunderstorm. Too many Christians pay the Lord in promises, and the devil in spot cash. Philosophy may keep a man from doing wrong, but it cannot make him better. Keeping right with God is the surest way ever yet discovered ol keeping bread in the house. There is no promise in the Bible for the man who wants to eat bread without earning it. If all the devils were cast out ol some folks, there wouldn’t be hardly enough left to look at. Begin the day with a Bible promise in your heart, and you will still be rich if the bank breaks. It often looks as though the devil’s first choice of places in the church is to bo on the music committee.
