where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also."
_Trust God, and He Will Take Care of You_.
"The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be right, thy
whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole
body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
