working seven days a week and three shifts a day look at the trouble one has to cross broadway life is complex and is a mystery one of the ancient philosophers said there are two great things one is the heavens on a starry night and the other is greater than that — the strange in ner self ' go out and learn all about the world but you will always come back to god no matter how much you study of any subject you al ways come up against a board fence sooner or later we stand in awe of the subject the same is true with the study of the gospel we stand in awe of it our ideals must be high if we do not hold to our high ideals we drift away from god we must have high standards and live up to them ' ' i was coming up the new york harbor one night it was a mar velous picture the tall buildings loomed up and i was struck by the awe of the seene — all the work of man but above all that was the work of god i went to a sunday school in philadelphia one easter sunday a little child came running out with tears streaming down her cheeks she had a toothache we found that a tooth had been lost and a new one had taken its place the same thing happens to the body the old body passes away but the soul either lives with god and eter nity or passes out as many as re ceive god's ideas will be saved there are today thirteen so called christian nations at war with one another this shows that christianity is growing but slowly this nation will grow only in the measure that the younger genera tion obey the will of god take the standard today and raise it higher the harrisburg men of lehigh
