To go forward means perpleXity. We
must not think the path is always
to show clear, smooth, uncomplicat-
ed. We are expected to be intelli-
/ gent captains of our destiny, and
only weakling will sit down in sub
mission and refuse to face the per-
/ pleXities. To go forward means war.
! All life is warfare, and the Chris
/ tian man or woman finds fellow be-
| ings who do not share or encourage
! his righteous purposes, but who aim,
rather, to increase the difficulties of
! the course he has taken. To go for
ward means work. This is a world
/ of action, and to no man or woman
is more command given to be dill
/ gent in daily well doing than to the
( man or woman who has taken the
/ Lord Jesus Christ for a pattern and
/ is trying to do something to tighten
/ the burdens, reduce the misfortunes
| and alleviate the sufferings of his or
| her fellows. To go forward means
! sacrifice. II is no discourse Sihent to

nOuncements of some things that are
not in themselves hurtful, but not
one of us who wants to lead a life
that can contain some benefit to some
other human soul will pine because
of our sacrifices.

selves all we should be unless Gods
authority uphOlds and strengthens us
in all our ways. We cannot hope to
accomplish all we ought to accom-
plish unless we are bucklered with
His weapOns-faith, prayer, conse-
Grafton. On board one ship there was
man without faith, and Jonah was
thrown overheard to save the other
people on board. On another ship
Paul, man of faith, not a man of
unbelief, calmed the sea and no soul
was lost. God himself, in His word,
has shown us how to go forward, and
when we follow in His footsteps we
shall gain the crown at last and hear
Him say: Well done, good and faith
