The Controlling Motive.

The qualification of an ambition to
reach the north or the south pole, or
to reach the highest stations in the po-
litical, social or commercial world, is
limited to a few. but Christianity pre-
sents a prize to every true aspirant.
There is well done for every
true struggler on the upgrade path of
life. No one can strive earnestly, per-
sistently for the kingdom of heaven
without gaining it: and what shall IL
profit il we succeed in every other
ambition and fail in this? The only
chance of failure is in the failure to
strive for ii.
The highest pinnacle in the upgrade
Journey of man is the attainment of
that goal which Paul points to as the
supreme aim and purpose of his life.
'Tne prize of the high calling of God
IL Christ Jesus"
The elements which enter into ad-
vancc to higher levels, are self-control,
seii-denial hard study. gratitude for
fort 10 do better and to go higher,
The controlling motive and great ideal
Is TO make the most of ourselves.
This cannot be done If our efforts
are directed only to matters of tenn
poraI advancement. The greatness OF
man is in his spiritual nature, and
the highest aim of life is in its i'm
provement. II is important to keep on
the upgrade in the pursuits of honor
able business, In the education of the
mind. but il is still more important 10
excel In the pursuits of righteousness
and in the education of the soul.

The other element of the Christians 8
success is looking to God. Keeping
our lives directed in relation to Him,
the diff i:culties before us disappear.
the pressure of untoward circum-
stances is relieved. and the hardest sit
uations find adjustment when the eye
of faith is fixed on Him, and we lay
our course straight to Him.
AS individuals, this looking onward
and looking to God mean nothing
less than laying out constructive
plan of service for our lives. So far
as we may learn His purpose for US
we may accomplish His will, and
achieve triumphs of service by this
plan. always remembering, however,
that in faith we must say. Wherever,
whenever. however He wills" for His
wisdom in planning for us is greater
than ours. We must, then, have the
faith that keeps the eye on the goal
of Gods presence, and then. as Paul
continues, FOLLOW peace with all men,
and holiness without which no man
shall see the Lord" So as organiZa-
tions, whether religious or civil. by
maintaining the right relation to God
and keeping the vision turned to the
future, newer and greater opportuni-
ties of service will constantly increase
our possibilities of achievement.

Working With God.

The important thing in life is to
know and do the work given to us to
do. What is our highest and most
vital work here?
working together with God"
As in Him I'VE live and move and
have our being" SO our only effective
work can be done in unison with His
will and in accord with His revealed
plan and purpose. Working together
with God in the ordinary commonplace
duties and environments of life is what
keeps US in the high grade of living
whether our tasks are great or seem
ingly unimportant, the complete COM
plement of service is found in doing
what God appoints US to do.
All His work leads US upward. 1t
makes heaven, the highest possible
good, our aim. AS the boy in the Illus
tration given fixed his eye on the tail
pine on the hill that he might go in a
straight line, so let us fix our eyes on
the tall tree of life, standing on Zion S
hill, and never look away from it till
we reach life's boundaries. Thus a
straight path may be made for us TO
the eternal shores.
And then, in the words of Alexa nder
Maclaren:
I'VE begin in heaven where we left
Off here, and they who have earnestly
striven to work out their faith into
their lives shall summer high upon the
hills of Cod"

By Harvey S. Irwin.

We are a race of climbers.
From earliest infancy when we strive
to climb upon the mothers knee and
upon every object around US, until the
close of life. it is an unceasing strug-
gle to reach some higher point of OBJ
servation.
BY the very nature of our being we
are seekers, climbers and aspirants for
omcthing or some actual good yet to
be attained.
This is proven in the experiences of
all classes and conditions of men, rich
o. poor. learned or unlearned. This
re or ambition to attain is right
and proper: it is a good quality. but 1t
needs to be rightly directed.
--or this reason the Scriptures point
out the supreme object that should en-
2ro-s first of all the ambition of men.
This object Is declared to be the king
dom of heaven. There are many other
objects upon which the desires may be
properly fixed. but this is the supreme
object both in time and in Importance.
Every ambitious endeavor may at
tain this supreme object. All have
qualifications to pursue the upgrade
and gain this high aim.
