PUsH-AND KEEP PUSHINGl
By EDWIN A. NYE.

YUSH-AND KEEP PUSHTNGl
Did you ever try to get through a
dense throng of people TO the speak
ers' stand" where you had an engage
ment to speak or sing or oficiate?
In the beginning it may have seemed
near impossibility to get to your
place. but
You began to push gently on the out
skirts of the crowd. You were good
humored. but persistent. Little by lit
tie you obtruded yourself wedgelike
into the mass. Little by little the peo-
pie gave way.
Some might glare at you for your
apparent rudeness and give way grudg-
ingly, even complainingly. Others were
pleasant and Accommodating.
1t was not sufficient to indicate your
desire to reach the platform. You
needed to accompany explanations
with a push-not a discourteous push,
but a persistent one.
Well
So is getting on In the world
Is you would reach the place select
ed by you as your place you must pass
through and push aside lot Of peo-
pie.
They are in your way.
And they are multitude.
If you do not push they will NOT
bulge. II you merely explain without
pushing you will get nowhere 1t is a
case where mere politeness and soft
words will accomplish nothing.
Know this--that, however close and
compact the mass may seem. IL you
will insist and persist and keep on
gently pushing toward the goal the
crowd will let you through. The crowd
Is built that way. 1t rs pervious to the
human wedge driven by the powerful
maui of the human win.
Do you want to stay on the outside
and take things easy?
The crowd will let you.
But If you are bound to get on and
| up neither humans nor devils can pre-
| vent you.
Success requires that you get to the
| platform. Thousands about you in life
do not particularly care to get up
there. but they will not voluntarily
help you up.
II you want elbow room and a van.
tage point up ct the speakers stand.
push for It.
Be nice about It as you can be, but
push.
There is a comfortable place await
ing you up on the platform OF life.
There Is better air up there-and wider
| vision.
Push-and keep pushing!

and finally gave that up, too, to enter
his life work in the ministry. His first
pastoral service was in his native eoun-
ty. After two years work there he
went to the Broad Street Baptist
church in Philadelphia. Seven years
later he founded the Memorial Baptist
church of Philadelphia. where he work
ed until 1882. wen he went to the First
