True enough but. w!:,iT ! e is w. : li living if it i ;,-ing livei in opposition to God's de i Siuh a life has If.t its inne sprint of j There is no confilene in it. no yrawkr, no lasting good. Bit ter to be a vesel of dishonor, in th world's e:.:, than to be a brofk en Yes sel, unfit to serve man b:cause ;nwil ing to serve God. All power comes throuigh obedi-ene to the laws which contiol it. The en gineer has power by the use of stea:n because he obeys the laws which con trol steam. Let him disobey them and he not only loses his power. bu he invites disaster. The sailor trim: his sail to the wind if he would hastet his voyage. So God's power is at tho disposal of everyone who is willing t( use it. If the life is really submittet to God he will work through it, and i will be, in the highest sense, a sue cessful life. Wherever you find the record cf life which has done great things fO1 God, you find that it has been a lifi definitely joined to Goa's nie by faitl in him. It has nct measured its task. by its own weakness, but by God'* strength. To believe that God w.!! al ways give power to do all he rcquire of us is to live the victorious life. God is in no such haste mat h seeks to use unprepared people. A wise man once said, "I care not hot, late I come, so I come fit." When a man starts unready or God's work he soon gets tired. Thal explains the roformer who needs re formation. the preacher who su'"Ce:e better in business, the evangelist whc has broken down. and the noniina: Christian who is taking a permanent vacation from Christian work. Th'-s have seen no vis'on, have felt no com peiling incitement, have heard nc voice of promise and power. There is no rest for anyone whom God has called to service until the call is obryed. The deserter cannot rest. Ie knows his place is with the army. He i* trying to hide from the autiori ties. He is never safe from deierttion and exposure so long as he lives un der the flag. He uses more energy in avoiding his duty than lie would need to do his duy. God his given us our right work. our best work. If w- but see it, and attempt it with all our strength. our life will be lived at its best Otherwise our better life will never begin. No worker works so hard as the shirkter, or gets so little pay.
