Sunday school class, First Baptist Church, Waco, Tx. 1951. ~L~ Mrs. J.H. Ledbetter, Waco You cannot dream yourself into a character, you must hammer and forge yourself one. -Thoreau Mrs. Mary A. Lusby, Waco We thank thee Lord, that thy paths of service lead To blazened heights and down the slopes of need; They reach thy throne, encompass land and sea And he who journeys in them walks with thee. -Myron E. Hayes, (Iowa) Mrs. Don Lee, Fort Worth Do not let the memory of defeat dismay you-"All that happened yesterday"-Today is a new day. Put your trust in God anew and your feet on a straight path- If god is ready to forgive you, surely you have no right to upbraid yourself. Accept his estimate of your worth and begin at once to deserve it.-Annonymous Formerly Mrs. Fisk Wright, First Class Treasurer Would that we be judged, not by what we are- But by what we sincerely want to be. -Unknown Mrs. Ona Litzman, Waco Wouldn't this old world be better If the folks we meet would say, "I know something good about you!" And then treat us just that way? Wouldn't it be fine and dandy If each handclasp warm and true Carried with it this assurance, "I know something good about you?" Wouldn't life be lots more happy If the good that's in us all Were the only thing about us, That folks bother to recall? Wouldn't it be nice to practice That fine way of thinking, too?- You know something good about me! I know something good about you! -Anon. Mrs. Fred Litzman, Waco The thing He sends is always good, So let's receive it as we should Let's never murmur nor complain, But gladly suffer His name. -Author Unknown Mrs. Louis Litzman, Waco Our home joys are the most delightful earth affords, and the joy of parents in their children is the most holy joy of humanity. It makes their hearts pure and good, it lifts men up to their Father in heaven. -Pestalozzi Mrs. Chas. Lane, Waco Commit thy way unto the Lord-trust also in Him, And he shall bring it to pass. -Psalms 37:5 Mrs. J.H. Lewis, Waco Years are often the telescope through which men see far into heaven. -Henry Ward Beecher -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, it's late but I can't sleep.
