BY JOHN and JANE STRICKLAND
RAYMOND PARTON, 698 Stock-
bridge Avenue Kalamazoo,
Michigan, all his adult life had
been a hard-working man. But
that was all right, for he not only
believed that work added to one's
•happiness in addition to being the
means of a livelihood, but also,
he liked the kind of work he was
doing, "Specialized Printing Jobs
for Particular People." So he took
on more and more work. As time
went on, he found himself virtual-
ly snowed under by his work. He
took on a helper from time to
time, but this proved the most
difficult part of his business, to
get men who could do the fine
work he had always promised his
clients. So he began going back
to the shop in the evenings for an
hour or two.
You can guess the result: Ul-
cers. Not bad but definitely ulcers.
He underwent treatment and
Bhortly the difficulty was con-
quered, and he went at his work
again with the old time vigor,
i working now on Saturdays as well
as in the evenings. By and by more
ulcers. This time they took longer
to conquer, and some of the treat-
ment had to be done in the hos-
pital. That meant relinquishing
some of the fine jobs that came
to him, for no one who worked for
him could handle those jobs to
Raymond's satisfaction.
During his hospital stay he did
a good deal of reading, plus a
good deal of thinking. The upshot
was that when he came out he
resolved not to go back to the
shop any evening, not to work on
Saturdays, to remember that a
holiday was a day for enjoyment.
To his surprise he found that
his income did not diminish.
Working regular hours, and not
taxing himself with overtime, he
found that he could do more and
better work than when pushing
himself to the utmost, often car-
rying on with a tired feeling that
was not productive of the best
results.

Meditation • . .

Enter ye in at the strait rate:
for wide is tbe grate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat: Because
strait is the gate, and narrow
is the way, which leadeth unto
life; and few there be that find it.
—Matt 7:13-14
There are only two ways—right
and wrong, good and evil—the
way to heaven, and the way to
hell. There is no middle way
now, no middle place hereafter.
And in one of these ways, we
are all walking. Let's think about
them.
1. The way of sin and sinners
where "the gate is wide, and
the way is broad." Now if we
choose the wide gate, we will
have lots of room to take all
our sins and all our selfishness
with us. We will also find lots
of company along the broad
way—"many there be that go in"
at this gate and walk in this
way. But what is the end thereof?
It "leads to destruction." Death,
eternal death is at the end of
the broad way.
2. The way of righteousness
and holiness where "the gate is
strait." If we choose the strait
gate, we must pass out of a
state of sin into a state of grace
by way of a new birth. And
there must be "a new heart, and
a new spirit, and old things must
pass away." We must swim against
the stream; much opposition must
be struggled with from without
and from within. "The way is
narrow," for self must be denied,
daily temptations must be re-
sisted, and duties done that
are against our inclination. We
must endure hardness, and we

EXCELSIOR
AMID the ice and snow of winter
■is a good time to read again
the story of a youth who through
an Alpine village passed, bearing
a banner with the strange device,
"Excelsior!" He was later found
on the highest height, cold and
dead, but he still grasped in his
hand of ice a banner with the
strange device, "Excelsior!"
Whether in winter or in summer,
in spring or autumn, amid what-
ever toils and difficulties, let us
never be satisfied with less than
the best. Let us consecrate our-
selves to the doing of our tasks
well, whatever they may be. At
the last day, when the King shall
come in his glory and all the holy
angels with him, he shall sit on
the throne of his glory and of the
nations gathered before him he
shall judge every man according
to his ability. And the man's abili-
ty in certain things will fit him to
do yet other great things. Where-
as he has ruled over ten cities, he
will be appointed to rule over
twenty cities.
The man of one talent who shall
be cast into outer darkness where
all opportunity shall be withdrawn,
shall not be so dealt with because
he has had only one talent but be-
cause he has not used what he
had. Do well your part, that you
may one day hear the King say to
you. "Well dona, good and profit*
aU« •want" ■J>-
must go "through much tribula-
tion."
Finally, why should we be so
concerned to "enter In at the
strait gate?" It "leads to life.
And few there be that find it."
Surely "the gate is strait and
the way is narrow" and up-hill,
but Just one hour In heaven will
more than repay it all.
Three Minute Sermon
from Moody Bible Institute
Chicago, 111.
A young woman missionary who
helplessly watched her baby son
slowly freeze to death and later
saw all hope ebb for the safety
of her husband, has decided to
continue evangelistic work among
the nomadic Indians of a lonely
sub-arctic outpost.
The husband, Albert Kelly, 26,
disappeared in a skiff while seek-
ing help after his family was
marooned on a desolate island in
Glena Bay, Alaska, last November
6. His wife, Vera, 25, was later
rescued from a rocky beach with
their daughter, Rebecca, 3, where
they had been without food or
shelter for four days and nights.
Nearby lay the frozen body of the
Kellys' four-month-old son, Thom-
as, a victim of starvation and
bitter Alaskan cold.
While recuperating in the hos-
pital, Mrs. Kelly declared: "My
husband may be dead. My baby is
dead. But I still have my faith
in God. Despite everything, God
has been good to us and I want
to continue in His service. If
these folks can be won for
Christ, it will be worth the price."
"She's foolish — out of her
mind," some may say. "She has
already given up too much. Why
should she further hazard her own
life?"
Why? Not out of simple hero-
ism or the determination to see
a job through. Hers is a modern-
day example of the spirit of the
apostle Paul, who suffered beatings,
stonings, shipwrecks, imprisonments
and finally martyrdom.
Such devotion can be explained
only by an all-consuming love for
the souls of men and for the
Christ who died to save them.
With Paul, this missionary wife
can say, "Neither count I my life
dear unto myself, so that I might
finish my course with joy ...
(and) to testify the gospel of the
grace of God" (Acts 20:24). And
with Paul she can claim the
promise, "The sufferings ... are
not worthy to be compared with
the glory which shall be revealed
in us" (Romans 8-18).
The foolish person is not he
that gives up all that he has for
Christ, but he who refuses to do
so. Jesus said, "Whosoever will
save his life shall lose it; and
whosoever will lose his life for
my sake shall find it" (Matthew
16:25, 26).
One way a person can greatly
lessen the danger of his being kill-
ed by an atomic bomb explosion is
to make a practice of driving a
car at high speeds.

Very few Abecedarians ever both-
ered with higher education. They
were members of a small sect
among the Anabaptists in 16th cen-
tury Germany and were noted for
their dislike of learning. They
thought it best not even to learn
to read, as a knowledge of the
Scriptures was all that was neces-
sary, and this was communicated
by the Holy Spirit direct to the be-
liever without the medium of the
written word

"Folklore farming" — agricul-
ture based on custom and tradi-
tion—received perhaps its worst
set-back in England in 1733. It
was a book, "Horseshoeing Hus-
bandry: or an essay on the prin-
ciple of tillage and vegetation,"
which paved the way for a far
greater acceptance of scientific
knowledge as applied to farming.
This wasn't the first book on agri-
culture, but it had the greatest
impact of any published work on
farming up to that time.

There are vicious little fishes
swimming around in South Ameri-
can waters. The shark may out-
weigh the piranha by hundreds of
pounds, but the less-than-one-foot-
long piranha are feared even
more than the shark or crocodile.
The piranha is unquestionably the
most ferocious and dangerous fish
in the world for its size. It has
strong razor-sharp teeth.
