The SOul'S Growth.

Temptations do not decrease, but
rather increase, with the growth OF
the soul The little man fighting his
little battles wishes that he were a
great man 50 that the more easily he
might overcome them; but when he
becomes great himself he sees that
storms circle the higher attitudes that
make the petty battles OF the lower
level seem Insignificant.
Many seem 10 think that tempta-
ton lays it's hands only upon our
weak spots. But think a minute.
Here is a lawyer who has little abil-
ity. seldom wins a case. always gets
on the off side of a jury, and is no.
toriously incompetent to plot case
or plead it. Does that man know
what it means to have a confessed
criminal offer him hundred thou
sand dollars to get him clear? Does
he know what it is to have princely
fortune dangled before his face If, in
legislative halls, he will stand on the
wrong side of the question for just
one hour? He knows absolutely
nothing about it.
So IL is in the Christian life; the
stronger we grow TO be, the stronger
will be our temptations. The nearer
we grow into the likeness OF Christ.
the fiercer will be the onslaughts OF
the enemy. We cannot escape life's
battles by moving into a different
or higher sphere. Each stage or
sphere has it's own temptations. AS
Jesus was tempted, so will be His
disciples. But. as He was made per-
feet through sufferings, so our trials,
which are but for the moment. will
work for us far more exceeding and
eternal weight Of glory.-Ram
