Opportunities.

In our individual life there come opportunities, which we may miss be- cause we have such false standards by which we judge things. We wait for the great event and for the great oc- casion, and We call that great which makes big splash in the world. Or. when the trial comes we shrink from 1t through false modesty, saying to ourselves that some other more worthy instrument should be chosen. If our general attitude were right, we would see the meaning of all that is called opportunity. We are not alive to the gracious possibilities of the unregard. ed chances of every day. We need a more solemn sense of responsibility. a more serious view of the ever-con- stant junctures that occur.-Hugh Black
