It Is No Natural For A Man

A Politician Thinks Of The Next Election; A Statement Of The Next Generation. A Politician Looks For The Success Of His Party; A Statesman For That Of His Country. The Statesman Wishes To Steer, While The Politician Is Satisfied To Drift.

Unmixed Praise Is Not Due To Any One. It Leaves Behind A Sense Of Unreality. We Can Only Do Justice To A Great Man By A Discriminating Criticism. Hero-worship, Which Paints A Faultless Monster, Whom The World Never Saw, Is Like Those Modern Pictures Which Are A Blaze Of Light Without Any Shadow.

In The Spirit Of Faith Let Us Begin Each Day, And We Shall Be Sure To " Redeem The Time " Which It Brings To Us, By Changing It Into Something Definite And Eternal. There Is A Deep Meaning In This Phrase Of The Apostle, To Redeem Time. We Redeem Time, And Do Not Merely Use It. We Transform It Into Eternity By Living It Aright.

Take Thy Self-denials Gaily And Cheerfully, And Let The Sunshine Of Thy Gladness Fall On Dark Things And Bright Alike, Like The Sunshine Of The Almighty.

It May Make A Difference To All Eternity Whether We Do Right Or Wrong Today.
