GO UP

The best way to- escapo niiny difficulties
which beset us on The lower plane, is to go
up to a higher one. It is sometimes easier
to go up than it is 10 stand still where we
are. In climbing Il %pfecipitous rock, if you
stop you may grow dizzy, and be in danger
offalling; but if YOU push upward you are
safe. So, sometimes, if you find it hard to
Go your duty, try to do more, not less.
Adopt a higher standard, coup to the high
er ground. There you have more motive.
purer air, better inspiration. If it is hard
to be a moderately good Christian, try to be
a better one; you viii often find that easier.
10 give yourself wholly to what is true and
good, is easier than to halt between two
opinions.
When you try to compromise between
right and wrong, to be moderately just, to be
truthful to a certain extent, and religious
without ceasing to be worldly, it is a hard
matter. But if we say, 1--WE will do what
soever things are just, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are NOBLE"
it simplifies the matter Amazingly. To stand
still and be decihlated BY the eneyny's can
non is harder than to charge, and many a
lost BATTLE has been retrieved by a leader
Who knew how to inspire his troops with
hopeful ardor, and to fling them on the foe.
1t is hard to do our duty, when duty is Il;
task, a drudgery, so much to be done ev-
cry day. But when is a spirit inspiring
all of life when it is'the love of God and
man; the love of all excellence; joy in fight
ing a good fight; happiness found in max
ing others happy; when il thus takes in
all of life, and makes the Work of life its
play, then it becomes at once a great deal
easier.-J. r Clarke.
