There is nothing that weighs more
heavily upon a right minded man than
the slow progress he makes in overcom
ing his faults. Here we are at twenty
with the faults of childhood upon us;
peevish, ungovernable, insatiable; t
thirty with the faults of youth; vain,.
inconsiderate, pleasure-loving; at f rty
still wearing the badges of early folly;
proud, passionate, sensuAJ; at fifty or
sixty, not yet wise with the experience
of life; selfish still, unsympathetic, am
bitious, full of conscious weakness and,
perhaps, with an ill-repressed brood ol
evil habits and the characteristic vice of
age atarioe. let all tho while we
may have been striving alter tho good,
curbing the evil, keeping our faces
heavenward; all the while aiming tc
fear; God and keep His oommandmetts;
never at any time wholly giving Op the
strife after ideal excellence. This, after
411, U the tragioal feature of life; that it
is linked with so muoh failuro in char-
r....a a a ea a
aoter; that it is given for wisdom, ana
yet we are not wise; for goodness, and
we are not good; for overcoming evil,
and evil remains; for patienoe and sym
pathy and self-command and love, and
yet we are fretful and hard ana weak
aud selfish Abis makes tbe bitterness
of death and calls out the cry : Vanitj
of vanities; all is vanity I
It is the struggle and not the at
tainment, that measures character and
foreshadows destiny. Character is not
determined by faults and weaknesses
and periodic phases of life, nor by
limitations and accidents of present ex
istence; but by the oentral purpose, the
inmost desire of the heart. If that be
turned toward God and His righteous
ness, it must at last bring us thither.
