LIFE
by ORAL ROBERTS
GOD'S STRENGTH CAN BE YOURS
A man and his small son were
working together in the garden
gathering stones.
"Here's one I can't lift, Dad-
dy," the boy cried. "I've tried
with all my might."
The father stopped working,
looked down at his boy, smiled
and said, "Son, you didn't real-
ly try with all your might, for
I was here as a part of your
might and you didn't ask me to
help you."
Jesus of Nazareth wants you
to count Him as a part of your
might. He knows your limita-
tions, and He stands beside you
to minister to your needs. He
stands beside you when the bur-
dens are too heavy to bear.
"Here, let Me help you," He
whispers, stretching forth His
nail-scarred hands.
He stands beside you at the
busy intersections of life, when
you are bewildered by the rush
and tumult of all that's going
on. He takes your hand in His
and leads you safely across. He
stands beside you when nerves
are frayed, or when you are dis-
couraged and lonely. He has a
way of calming frayed nerves, or
reassuring you and of putting
you back in order.
Christ's strength is placed at
your disposal to be utilized. If
you give up easily, if you are
prey to lingering fears, it is be-
cause you have not learned to
place your hand in His. You
have only to reach out in faith
and make His strength a part of
your strength.
It often happens that life
makes demands of you beyond
your own powers. Such demands
work for your good! Only that
which seems impossible is real-
ly worth doing, for this is the
law of growth and progress. But
to succeed at these tasks, you
must learn how to utilize God's
help. For no one, of course, can
go beyond human limitation
without His help. Phillips
Brooks used to pray, "Lord, I
ask not for tasks equal to my
powers, but I pray for powers
equal to great tasks."
When you know that Christ's
strength is a part of your
strength, you need not be afraid
of any situation or task that may
confront you in the future.
God gives just the right
amount of strength for every
need. Saturate your life with it
and face undaunted the chal-
lenge of living each day victo-
riously.

Commemorative days that have

range in thought through the past
ages, we find that one f the earli-

of the Passover that commemo-
rated the birth night of the He
brew nation, when the Jewish
people escaped out ot bondage in <
Egypt. Then we think of the sa-
cred days of other races.

As we think of Labor Day, we
realize th<>t it is important to our
people for we see the value of
giving attention in a serious way ■
to the relation of labor and cap- j
ital and to the rights of each And j
it should be remembered, as ever i
remembered, that the third party
•n all the transactions of labor
and capital is the vast number of
the American people, affected by
what is done in the industry of
the Country.
So let us prepare for Labor
Day on the Sabbath preceding by
true worship that will fill our
hearts with affection for our
brothers and cause us to lift our
hearts in true faith to the Heav-
enly Father. It is not too much
to hope that this year's Labor
Day shall foster a unity among
our people that will be as a bul-
wark in this "age on ages telling."
