was convinced that it was his APP
pointed work. Moses, the shepherd,
had the courage TO face PharOah
because he was convinced that this
was his appointed task. William the
Silent said Il cannot desert my
post Oliver Cromwell expressed
the truth when he said NO man
knows how high ne will rise when
he climbs INTO the chariot wheels
of God and surrenders himself to
the horseman." Believing that they
were doing what God wanted them
to do the Pilgrim Fathers left their
lands for rough and untried shores.
This conviction Of an appointed
work in life has marked the career
Of the earth's greatest souls and
until man gets this conviction he
can never have his largest success.
Great Men also have ABSOLUTE
FAITH IN THE ULTIMATE Sue
CESS OF THEIR CAUSE. There is
IN their story no thought of failure.
This comes because they have made
sure that their cause is right and
right must win. When Washington's
army was at Valley Forge most peo-
Me had lost faith in the cause OF
the colonies but WashingtOn's faith
was sure. Columbus had faith that
his work would win sooner or later.
Let us make sure that our course is
right and this in itself will strength
en- our hands for the task and fortify
our souls against discouragement
and doubt.
In the last place we ind that life's
greatest dynamic is SPIRITUAL
POWER. Until mans soul is linked |
with God ne is like a bird without
wings or a ship without sails. Apart |
from God there is no real worth op

soul is dwarfed and fettered. A
