A RE you a believer? That is a question about your- self, not about your creeds or doc- trines, Do you believe in yourself and is that belief sufficiently well founded to be a relinble mainstay in your en deavors? One of the most interesting miracles that the Messiah performed was that in which He accomplished the heal ing of the boy who was an epileptic. It is especially interesting because the first appeal was to the disciples who wholly failed in their efforts. The father of the child was a little weak ened in his faith by this failure and when he applied to Jesus for help ne did so with some evidence of doubt as to the results. The reply of the Messiah was “If thou canst believe, all things are pos sible to him that believeth,” And when His followers Him why they had not been able to perform the healing they were told that was their unbelief that hindered them Of course this belief in tended to have been in fn their personal powers but in whut Jesus often called to them “The Truth” It is In the belief in the truth about asked i was nol themsel gs 1 By VIOLA BROTHERS SHORE FOR THE GOOSE— MAN leavin' his 4 money 2 mn worries about in the hands of a her « wotan § gf Has i“ leavin’ man. ahout of a woman the hands two of Unless A might eonldn’t stamped Bearer on between piece friendship 80 get Silver peopie close a paper hetween it (‘ertificate Payable Demand. be vias fo When lotta the winder 4 in love flies outa other things comes the door FOR THE GANDER— No use tryin’ to sell to a man that just got a bad one, avsters One-half of the taughin' at the other sther half is forever hard. is forever And just world half laughin 1 ne as You can't count much people you helped want you to help (Copyright) THE near as on us on them that en.
