I SHALL BE LIKE HIM.
When I shall reach the more excellent glory,
And all my trials are passed,
I shall behold Him, O wonderful story!
I shall be like Him at last.
Cho: I shall be like Him, I shall be like Him,
And in His beauty shall shine;
I shall be like Him, wondrously like Him,
Jesus my Savior divine.
We shall not wait till the glorious dawning
Breaks on the vision so fair,
Now we may welcome the heavenly morning,
Now we His image may bear.
More and more like Him, repeat the blest story,
Over and over again,
Changed by His Spirit from glory to glory,
I shall be satisfied then.
Prayer.

THE VIRTUE OF SHAME.
Confession is a duty too little regarded even by many Christians. Some
men are ashamed to confess that they have done wrong. Sir John Lubbock
says: "It is well to be ashamed of yourself if you are in the wrong; but
never be ashamed to own it." The Bible says: "Confess your faults one to
another."
CONQUEST.
Creation's heir, the world, the world is mine.--Goldsmith.
All things are yours.--Paul.
The world is mine. I hold no title-deed
To one small acre, yet have all I need,
And should Dame Fortune proffer me her store
I could not linger wistful, at her door.
Unfortunate is he beyond compute,
Whose love of fortune makes his conscience mute.
I will not look to fortune. I will do
My best, though small that best to her or you.
All things are mine. I walk with firmer tread
Than Caesar at his best; for I am led
By mightier One than Fortune or than Fate,
And I shall conquer all things, soon or late.
All things? Yes, all. Then well may Fortune frown,
And clutch with trembling hand her imperial crown.
I will stoop to conquer. I will rise
And climb the rugged path where duty lies.
Sermon Geo. L. Herr

"CLING TO THE BIBLE."
Tis the anchor of hope and the lamp that gives light,
Tis the star that will shine thro' your life's darkest night,
If you follow its guidance, you'll always be right,
So cling to the Bible and walk in its light.
To neglect, reject or doubt the Bible in any particular is but an
entering wedge to spiritual apathy. The "Bible tinkers" of this or any
other age have been men whose hearts are cold and whose soul saving
powers were limited.
To obey the Bible, will lead to a perfect salvation, make possible a
victorious faith, surmount the difficulties of life and gain an
"inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you."
