It has been truly said that a man’s sins find him out in his dunner. It is equally true that his good deeds become wool“ and warp of his soul. No man ever sinned that he did not injure his character. No man ever read an impure book or. told an indecent story that he did not toil his chm-utter. No man ever wronged another in thought, word or deed that he. himself, was not in- jured to a greater degree than was the man he wronged. 0n the com tnry, no mu ever performed a kiml act. spoke a cheery word. or gave ‘ aid to the helpless without himnell' 1 ranking an uplift. It seems hard for men to realize that we are daily building character, and that every word, though and deed is- woven into our very being. 81w old quotation “Sow a thought and you reap an act; Sow an act and you‘ reap a hobit: Sow a habit and you reap destiny” seems to have been forgotten in this hustling, bustling, hurley‘burley age.
