himself about how clever he was and how great he was to build Babylon
by the might of his own power (Dan. 4:30, 31). Even while he spoke
those boasting words God punished him by taking it all away from him.

But it is not sufficient simply to refrain from boasting. You and I
must see to it that God gets the glory, for God has given whatever we
have that is worth-while. Let the presentation be so made that whoever
witnesses it will pass out saying: "Surely God is the secret of that
fellow's success!"

Real and permanent greatness is the kind that exalts God above all.

_Read 1 Kings 10:1-10._

Yes, something doing in athletics this time,--and the Big Event for
which each one of you is preparing, whether you know it or not.

"Find all that in the Bible?"
