People who jump at conclusions are in the way of making frequent mistakes and often do great mischief. A woman standing in line before the window of a New England savings-bank, waiting her turn to deposit five dollars, saw a man step up and draw out nine hundred dollars. She was not used to the sight of so much money, and, supposing that this meant a heavy drain on the resources of the bank, held on to her five dollars, and not only that, but went and told her friends about it, saying that the bank must be in danger. The news spread, and soon there was a "run" on the bank. Before the panic was over, and scared depositors satisfied that the bank was sound, between ten thousand and twenty thousand dollars had been withdrawn. Better be sure of facts and not judge by appearances. This "supposing" things makes trouble. Some time ago a young man in looking around among the people at a public gathering, noticed a tall, heavyset, well-built man, and made up his mind that he was the new minister. He went up to a friend and said: "Very strong, good-looking man, isn't he? I am well pleased and satisfied he will make a very good minister." That man replied to his friend, "Why he is no minister, he is the manager of the new theater." It takes more than a fine-looking man to be a minister. He may only look like one, and be only half a cup. A gentleman noticed a refined-looking stranger seated opposite to him at the table. He had a magnificent forehead and a fine, venerable, bald head. His eyes were shooting off sparks of expression which seemed to be born of the fires of genius. "Ah," thought he, "if he could but speak, what grand words we would hear! What large utterances would fall from his eloquent lips!" Suddenly the gentleman who possessed the venerable head and a great talent for silence spoke and said, "Hand me them dumplings, them's the jockeys for me." He was wise only in appearance. He was half a cup. There was nothing of eloquence or talent in him. Things are not what they seem to be. [Illustration: Rev. C. H. Woolston and Professor Homer Rodeheaver] In 1 Samuel 16:7, the Bible teaches us this lesson: "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him." God saw both sides of the man. What he looked like, and what he really was. "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart" (1 Sam. 16:7). Learn to see things as God sees them, then you will see aright. =7 A CHILD FOR SALE OBJECTS: A Child and a Number of Prepared Business Cards=
