WHAT MAN CAN DO.

We can not always, hardly ever root out
an evil thendency but we can always
grow it out. Give men life, more growth,
more sun and rain, more truth and love
these powers Of growth will conquer the
evils in the soul and in the heart. These
considerations, as | have said, should make
US both humble and hopeful. We are hum
BILE in thinking that our best success and
our highest gifts have their danger. We
are hopeful when we see that even the worst
thing in us can be turned to good. So God,
in His great geological workshops makes
diamonds out of carbon and rubies ont OF
clay. Mans brain is a self-compensating
machine, an automatic, selt-correcting APP
paratus. God has set in it two against two;
every power has its antagonist power. He
has placed in man Il tendency to hope, and
another to caution as its CONFERENCE.-THE. He
has given selfreliance, and also sympathy !;
He has inspired the wish to battle with
wrong and evil He has added the tenden-
CIV to reverence and submit to good. lie
has given us powers which take us outward
into the world of things and men; Others
