world with her understanding and
philosophy. Some of the greatest
men OF history lahored and achieved,
hiHdtred and fettered in different
ways.
There is a power in our imper-
fections. Our feet fast in stocks call
forth all the courage and hidden pow
er within. Perfect equipment does
not win battles. Furnished steel and
showy uniforms arc no signs of sue
cess. 1t is the unconquerable spirit
behind the powder that wins the
battles of life. Some with every Ia
vorable circumstance fail. Others at
their side with both feeI fast in the
stocks win out by indomitable cour-
age, We put obstacles in the way to
gain physical strength, The heavy
dumb bell must be lifted but it makes
muscle. so Il is, when we are com
pelled TO labor against disadvantages
of poverty, sickness, lameness, So
cial insigniictnce, or any other un'
favorable surrounding or attachment
we are met so fcrcibly by the OBJ
stacle that every energy within Is
exerted every force mustered and
exercised. unil the poN erful latent
self is called forth.
ut often seems that perfect equip
ment is misfortune. It breeds in
! dolence and lacks the spirit OF VIC
tory. In the chmc ch of Christ, the
men and women whose feet are fast
in some sort of stocks carry high the
banner. While standing beside them
are others, with powers and talents
uneXercised and unused, who fail to
assist in the work OF the Kingdom
bv leading others to the Master ana
helping to pay the church debt. All
the while. the poor washerWoman,
the working man, those with hin
drances, are laboring, sweating ana
planning that the good work may 90
on.
"How do we make our lives count
J., with our feet in the stocks? Lake
Paul and Silas we must be content
Let us realize that our lot is part o.
Gods plan. Let us be content t'
4 do only what we can-what we are
fitted for. Let's not try to do bis
things. but even the small things tina
we really can do, with our feet fast
Nothing more can be expected OF III
but that much we are obligated to do
We must use our stocks as stimulus
and an inspiration. We must put th'
obstacles to flight by the use OF reso
Lutte will. Let us fill the inner prisol
with ourselves. Like Paul and Sllas
, let's sing and pray and preach, Wit
{ our feet fast in the stocks, until mel
and women shall respond to our ei
, forts.
r Jesus Christ can give strength t
the fettered feet. He can loose tn
, stocks. In Him our hidden strengt
y lies We can not afford to depen
I upon ourselves. He can break loos
the shackles of sir. In Him is per
. feet freedom"
