t
f
5 Text, II Tim. 4:7: "I have fought
0 the good fight; I have finished my
course; I have kept the faith."
Paul draws us a picture here of a
man who has been fighting with the
11 cestus and who, full of honors and
- glory, with the laurels of victory on
i, his brow, lays down his Instruments
t of hostility. He pictures a runner
e who has gone the course, who has
run the race and Iras won, and who
has received the palm of victory. He
8 depicts a man who In the affairs of
- the spiritual life has been true to
i, his Maker and his Qod and Is upon
t the threshold of entering Into the vlc.
tory of the life eternal.
This assertion of Paul that he has
fought a good fight, has finished the
? course, has kept the faith, is the as1
surance of a man who was successful
s in all that to which he laid his hands,
f Paul was a man who had attained.
s who had reached his reward, who had
gained success. He had put into
effect certain plans that he had for
the ordering of his own life and the
- *i? ?-? -
ujvuv ui nit' uieu ana women
1 with whom he had come In contact.
- He had executed arrangements for
the preaching of the blessed news of
Jesus Christ, and he had his eyes
fixed not so much on what he had
accomplished as upon the victory
which he had achieved, upon the
t. crown which was awaiting him when
I he should go Into the presence of the
* Lord his God.
! St. Paul was a man who accom..
pllshed. He not only put .tasks in
0 motion; he fulfilled them. He was
a man who achieved much. In a
world where so many of us do things
II in a small way, he did things mightily
and lnsplringly. He was a man
whose achievements were like unto
the mighty victories won by Christ. '
1 This success of Paul is the ideal of i
every man and every woman. This i
victory and success which crowned
his efforts is the desire of every hu- j
! man heart that Is normal. There is ,
, not one of us but has dreamed of
f mighty things, but has longed for
ability and power to accomplish great
things for God and man; none of us
but who. in our youth, and perhaps
* In later days, has reached unto greater
things than any we have yet acu
complished, for this power of Paul
. to execute and effect.
TK1- a- - <? * -
lum auniLjr iu aaeci tne wnole
e history of the lives of the men with
d whom he comes in contact is the dei
sire and the ideal of every human
soul. But our great queatlon Is, how
shall we achieve? how shall we accomDllsh
that to which we lay our
hands? how shall we execute the task
- which under God is given us to do?
How snail we attain, how shall we
| achieve, each in our peculiar sphere,
according to our peculiar ability, that
we may do something either small or
* great for the weal of men and for
the glorious peopling of the kingdom
- of Jesus Christ?
"I It seems to me that there are four
'J elements that enter into success, four
= things that are necessary that we
shall be able to do a work for God
t* that shall count, a work that shall
amount to something for the weal of
> men, for .the betterment of lives
about us, for the satisfaction of our
- own Ideals.
g A man cannot do very much unless
m first of all he has some self-appreciate
tlon. That is not to say he should
L have egotism; that Is not to say that
u he disdains others, not that he
? weighs himself in the scales to the
5 disparagement of other men; but it
Is to say that he has nlaerd htmspif
5 objectively ever against his own per0
Bonality and has sized himself up so
that he has a first-class and first
hand idea of his own ability. It is
a good thing to have an appreciation
of our own abilities, a better to have
_ a comprehension of our own limitations;
but, while it is a good thing to
know our own limitations, I am a
profound believer that we know .too
1 many times the extent of our limitaj
tions and not of our abilities. We
! seem to think that what other men
j have done we cannot do; that what
t men of equal brains and ability have
Y done we cannot do; wo are afraid
t to lay our hands to the work of God
j because we fear perchance we cannot
y do that to which we have laid our
1 hand. To many a man the appreciaj
tion of his own divine power is in
e the terms of limitation rather .than
r in the terms of real ability. How
t many men we meet will tell us what
? they cannot do, who would do thus
or so if they were able; who are so
' taken up with the consideration of
? those things which God hath not
L given them the ability to do that they
forget the potentialities divine and
eternal which God hath placed within
n their own grasps and personalities.
St. Paul was a man who had measured
his abilities and knew what he
b could do, who had no mean apprecia?
tion of what he could do. When he
^ met Jesus face to face there was no
hesitation as to whether he was a
1] man who was divinely called, as to
whether he was the man who was
called to do the work. The knowl
edge that God had called him was
" sufficient knowledge that he had the
ability, that he was of some worth
1 for the bringing of the good news of
the Gospel to those who were in sin.
t Paul was a man who had some appreciation
of himself, he knew what
he should do and the way he should
do it.
k We do not have direction. We
? beat against the wind, we waste our
h time with futile beatings against the
air, we spread ourselves out too thin.
? How many men there are who have
y not achieved because tbey have tried
i- too many tblngs, who have not had
enough self-appreciation to know
wherein their abilities He strongest.
As ml ?u a man who gave the
right emphasis to his life; so, con
trarlwlse, there are men in the world
who with mediocre abilities have not
had the sense to see the leadings of
1 their own powers, the guidance of

s have laid the emphasis in the wrong

the emphasis which he laid u

for serious things, he did not attei

In that would achieve success. 1
and I might never have heard
Martin Luther unless he had pla
the emphasis aright. We mi
never have heard of Jesus Chris'
He had taken the taunts of the <
cers and those in high places and 1
given all that was best in Him c
to their whim and will, if He 1
subverted H1b holy power beca
they laughed Him to scorn, beca
they informed Him that He was sc
dalouslv wrong when He claimed
be the Son of God. We might ne
have heard of Him unless He 1
placed the emphasis of His wli
life correctly.
It is a rule in the law of mechai
that a man to achieve success m
direct his power to the right pli
There is only one place where he
achieve most by the application
power, and that is where the po
needs most to be applied. And
if we are to run our course and
herit a crown, we must first of
find put what our abilities are i
then lay our efforts where God le
us.
While there are many men
have appreciation of .their own abi
and have measurable success in ]
lng their abilities in the line of 1<
resistance, there have been men t
have not accomplished anything

A man may appreciate his <
powers and size himself up well;
may direct his powers in the rl
way and be tenacious, but unless
has a clean heart and a conscie
undeflled before God and man
cannot accomplish much in i
world. One of the worst things v
which we have to deal is an accus
conscience, a soul which is constai
calling unto us that we are ham]

if we are hampering our s(
against the achievement which mj

No man can do the work which (
hath given unto him to do save
his own life is pure in God's sight

own eyes. Many a man who ml
have done something has done n<
ing because, first of all, he has stv
fled and strangled his soul, beca
he has forgotten that the secret ol

These are the elements which

I each. The suction of rapidly revolving
rubber tires is one cause, ospec
Iially active when the roads are dry.
The tractive force of the driving
wheels is another, especially when
"* the surface is soft.' The chained tires
are a noted disintegrant during and
after thaws.
? Automobllists are more deeply inls
terested in the preservation of good
roads than any other class. If some <
? means are not found of decreasing
the wear and tear the good roads
P they enjoy will be short-lived. Thero
l" is. of course, universal endorsement
of the hope that such methods will
l~ be perfected. Next spring or summer
we can have practical knowledge
of the value of oiling or tarring the
n country or city roads that were so
treated last fall. Engineers of Eo*
rope and America are working at
:e that subject. Concurrently it seems
a pertinent to ask whether it might be
p worth while for automobile construc1,
tors to Investigate the possibility of
1. some material for the treads of autor
mobile tires less disintegrating in its
it action on the surface of the roads,
n Further, it can hardly be denied
]f that the automobile going at thirty
or forty miles an hour we*rs out the
