tom, yet when a vital thing is to be |
done we must be ourselves and not
an imitation of someone else.
The times in which we live are
times of standardization. We all
wear straw hats at the same time.
The houses in our street are all on
40-foot let's, and are set Just so far
back from the street. Our life is
standardized until we become ma
chine-like in our work, our pleasure,
even in our religion.
When we deal with the great facts
of life, when we fight our giants, we
must go in our own armor, with our
own weapons, in our own way.
When we worship God we must be
ourselves. The age of Queen Eliza
beth produced acts of uniformity;
but there is no power that can make
men uniform when they are crying
out to God for forgiveness.
Be yourself. Fight your own fight
in your own way. Work out your
own salvation" In the great mo-
ments of life no weapon save your
own will be effective.
