BETTER PURPOSES.

That our purposes are better than
our achievements IL taken for granted.
No one accomplishcs much who has
not set his ideals very much higher
than his actual attainmens. 1t In
this high purpose which serves al a
mighty incentive 20 do better. 1t In
because we always havo better pur-
poses" that we are making bettcr
records. There would bo no progress
were there rot this goal AWAY In ad-
vance OF whero we really arc. The
APOSTLE Paul exhorts us TO Press on
towards tho high calling OF God In
Christ Jesus" He means to tell us
there is something better always
ahead: we must strive for It with all
our might. This tito. Better Pur-
poses." means the possessing OF ideals
much higher than achievements.
What an incentive What a motivel
There should como TO us too the
thought OF progression In our pur-
poses. Many persons do not think OF
this. They forget that the Christian
life Is n growth. II Is progressive. The
better n man Is able TO do, the better
should his purposes be. A Christian
mans conscience should be moro keen
each year. He should ind himself no
longer satisfied with what Satisfied
him formerly. His purposes may have
seemed high when he started out, say
n few years ago. but today no should
find himself setting the goal still fur
thor on. making tho purposes better,
much better.
Gods promises arc to those who
take these better purposes as the con-
trolling motives of their lives. Caleb
was brought TO the promised land be-
cause he chose tho better thing. He
had another spirit with him." a diff
ferent motive from the others. To
us the better purpose" Is the supreme
purpose-"scek ye first the kingdom
OF God" The Christian should be
a marked man, marked by this other
spirit" which Is a better purpose and
motive than that OF the non-Chris-
tian. His ideals and goals should be
distinguished because higher.
