"IF"
If you can go to church, when all about you,
Are going everywhere but to the house of prayer,
If you can travel straight, when others wobble,
And do not seem to have a righteous care;
If you can undertake a noble service.
Expecting others to pitch in and boost,
But find them doing everything to hinder Or sitting down like biddies on a roost.
If you possess yourself and pray, “God bless you” — When every muscle in you aches to smite;
When something says, “Give up, give up the struggle! Since others fall, why stand alone, and fight?”
You’ll find a Presence by you, in the furnace,
You’ll find a Presence by you, on the sea,
You’ll find a Presence by you, in the battle —
Yes! everywhere and always, Victory!
If you can trust, when others faint and falter.
Or stand and serve, when others flee away.
Unmoved by either Jezebel or Ahab,
P>emaining faithful every livelong day,
If you can keep your courage up, and boost it,
Yes! boost the Church right on, until the end,
You’ll prove yourself a very Noble Human,
And what is more, you’ll be a SAINT, my FRIEND!

One time Breakfast Club inaugurated a “3-Minute-EggTiming-Service” for people who were fixing soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. However, Don forgot to ring the bell for seven minutes and folks all over the country had hard-boiled eggs that morning.

A RECIPE FOR COOKING A HUSBAND
A good many husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were balloons, and blow them up. Others keep them constantly in hot water. Others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew by irritating ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep them in a pickle all their lives. It is not supposed that any husband will be tender and good, managed in this way. But they are really delicious when properly treated.
In selecting your husband, you should not be guided by the silvery appearance as in buying a mackerel; not by the golden tint as if you wanted a salmon. Be sure to select the finest to be had. See that the linen in which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended with the required number of buttons and strings tightly sewed on. Tie him in the kettle with the strong silken cord called “Comfort,” as the one called “Duty” is often weak. Make a clean steady fire out of love’s neatness and cheerfulness. Set him as near the fire as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and sizzles, do not he anxious. Some hus¬ bands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses. But no vinegar or pepper, on any account. A little spice im¬ proves him, but it must be used with judgment. Do not stick any sharp instrument into him to see if he is tender.
Stir him gently, watching the while, lest he lie too flat and close to the kettle and become useless. You cannot fail to know when he is done. Thus treated, you will find him reliable, agreeing with you and the children, and will keep as long as you want him unless you become careless and set him in a cold place.
