A radio preacher said: "A lot of troubles will make a big man of you if you will overcome them." Yeah, but I don't want to be too big.

A household hint: "Cranks" can be useful things if not allowed to lie around in the way of others.

Back in the early '30's people were saying that the devil had moved his headquarters from the infernal regions to Moscow. Now, in the early '50's they are saying that Stalin has robbed the devil of everything, including the keys to the "bottomless pit," and has sent him back to the infernal regions without even enough fire to keep him warm. Sheee-ee! Shut up! Somebody may fall in sympathy with the underdog!

Some may seek earthly power, wealth and fame, but those longing for the eternal riches of heaven seek but one thing: "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
—O—
True, the church is growing in numbers, popularity and wealth. But after all, if we are poverty-stricken in faith, our numbers, popularity and wealth may embarrass us at the judgment!

The less some people have on their minds the more it seems to bother them—they seem to develop a severe case of "jitters" trying to talk it off.

No. 1. One of "our" professors recently said: "If we are to defeat atheism and protect our youth the church must build stronger and better Christian colleges."
—O—
No. 2. The atheist: "The Bible has failed in its purpose, therefore, scientists must establish stronger and better scientific principles to take its place."

If you forget where you planted your garden seed just look where the most weeds grow. And, if you forget where you sowed your "wild oats"—well! —it's usually on the other fellow's property.
—O—
Most people seem to be in a mad rush, which isn't so bad if they only knew where they are going and why.
—O—
Scientists claim our remote ancestors had no chin. I suppose we can blame the barbers for those protruding choppers.

Uncle Tate says: "Women are money getters. When my first wife was living, if I got a dime in my pocket, she made me feel like a "lousy bum" carrying that dime around—she got the dime. Now, with my second wife, if I get a dime in my pocket, she throws her perfumed arms about me and makes me feel like a millionaire—she gets the dime."
