The Right Time for Action

A man was always telling his servant that he was going to do a great

thing for him. "I am going to remember you in my will."

Sambo got his expectations up very high. When the man came to die, it

was found that all he had willed Sambo was to be buried in the family

lot. That was the big thing, you know. Sambo said he wished he had

given him ten dollars, and let the lot go.

If you want to show kindness to a person, show it to him while you are

living. I heard a man say that he didn't want people to throw bouquets

to him after he was dead, and say, "There, smell them."

Now, this is the time for action. I have got so tired and sick of this

splitting hairs over theology. Man, let us go out and get the fallen

up. Lift them up toward God and heaven. We want a practical kind of

Christianity.
