"THOSE WHO NEVER QUOTE, IN RETURN ARE SELDOM QUOTED"
Louis 
Paul Lehman

THIS QUOTE-Is from a book of quotations reprinted by Kregel Publications in 
1977. 
"Treasury of Quotations on Religious Subjects" by F.B. Proctor has been at my 
study station for over 25 years. One should read this book of quotations as 
though he were spreading jam on bread. It's too rich to be gulped down in 
great gobs, but a little on your fingers will do no harm. Library of 
Congress Catalog Card Number 76-15741. 
ISBN 0-8284-3500-5. Formerly published as "Classified Gems of Thought" by 
Hodder and Stoughton, London 1887. "Good Fortune" if you seek it. (I paid 
$14.95 and will en-
tertain offers above $100,000 only.)

AH'M BLESSED-Was how Jimmy Barousse replied to "How are you?". A Cajun from 
Louisiana is not going to say "I'm". My only regret in this relationship is 
that I only had about ten years of joy with Jimmy and Jeannie, his wife, 
before God took them home. These strong soldiers fought illness and 
financial struggles with great dignity 
and spiritual victory. They were above 65 years of age when they pioneered 
their last and successful work down in the swamps 150 miles Southwest of New 
Orleans.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS-The idea was Benjamin Franklin's. He calculated the savings 
in the cost of candles in Paris. Modern usage was begun in the twentieth 
century to give farmers extra daylight hours. Since most farm equipment has 
good headlights and few cows wear watches, we are left with two Sundays each 
year where nobody knows what time it really is. Sermon text? John 9:4.

GROWING UP-Is difficult under the best of circumstances. Collin, my thirteen 
year old grandson, was the victim of an unprovoked attack while playing touch 
football at school. The dental trip was for extensive and painful work that 
will need to be repeated as he grows. Court appearances and parental 
involvment have settled many issues . The "not to hate" matter is where we 
may contribute. "Pray for those who spitefully use you" of Matthew 5:44 is 
a hard commandment at 13,31 or__put your age here.

TEN BEST-Preachers that I ever heard? You have asked me. My list is down to 
twenty-five. I'll pare some more. I'll try next week. Only those heard in 
person count. I have lots of Spurgeon and McClaren books, but I am not quite 
that old.

His,
Ron Krantz
